, said that the tour has caused Western aesthetics to experience a revival in fashion. Additionally, the tour triggered a surge in hotel prices in concert locations. Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour has fueled a wave of entrepreneurship, particularly among Black women, who are capitalizing on the Western aesthetic her tour popularized. Small business owners have launched themed products such as custom satin sashes with playful slogans, Western-style clothing, and cowboy accessories that align with the tour’s fashion. Black-owned brands have seen a noticeable surge in sales as fans seek out unique, stylish items to wear to the shows. This trend demonstrates how Beyoncé’s cultural impact is not only influencing fashion but also driving real economic momentum within the Black business community. Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour has contributed to a rise in Black women-led businesses that specialize in Western-themed apparel and accessories.
