Lady Gaga’s two-year Monster Ball tour recently ended. But even though it’s over, Gaga has something to celebrate— breaking the record for the biggest tour ever by a first-time headlining artist.
“We’re humbled by the tremendous success of the Monster Ball tour,” Lady Gaga’s manager Troy Carter told Billboard. “The reasonably priced tickets, coupled with a great live experience, led it to being a must-see event.”
Gaga’s worldwide Monster Ball tour kicked off in November 2009 and according to numbers reported to Billboard, it grossed $227.4 million and brought out 2.5 million concert-goers. Numbers that could land it on the top 10 list of highest-grossing tours of all time.
In other Gaga news, she recently dropped the controversial video for “Judas,” the second single from her album Born This Way, which is set to drop May 23. Check out the video below.
