The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour
2013–14 concert tour by Beyoncé
The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour was the fourth concert tour by American singer-songwriter Beyoncé. Announced in February 2013 with initial dates in Europe and North America, the tour contained seven legs and 132 shows. It began in Belgrade, Serbia, on April 15, 2013, and concluded in Lisbon, Portugal, on March 27, 2014.
The tour featured royal themes with Beyoncé emulating different queens through her fashion for which she collaborated with numerous designers and fashion houses. The set list of the shows in 2013 included songs from all four studio albums of Beyoncé's solo career. After the release of her eponymous fifth studio album, the 2014 shows were changed to incorporate tracks from the album. The tour was lauded by music critics who praised Beyoncé for her energetic performances, dancing and vocal abilities. The show was directed and choreographed by Frank Gatson Jr.
Following the announcement of the tour, all the tickets made available for the shows sold out, which prompted more dates to be added to the itinerary.

Why this record matters
The phrase “2013–14 concert tour by Beyoncé” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4168219. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2013 and 2014.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
