The world of music is one full of cacophony yet uncertainty. While the sweet melody flows to the ears as an ounce of solace from the buzzing modern lifestyle, the industry is also one known for fierce competition. Records stand created and broken all the same in the blink of an eye as new releases squeeze out older ones in their quest for chart-topping glory. Remarkably, this year, the scenes are a bit different. In a massive show of women empowerment and sheer musical brilliance, Taylor Swift and Beyoncé, stand right next to each other with their juggernaut concerts and respective concert films.

Shedding no iota of any regard for competition, the two women of music, together, have created one of the music industry’s most memorable events.

The two of the most prominent singers in the pop music industry have made massive inroads into the box office this year with their respective concert movies. Released on December 1, Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, opened up to north of a whopping $21 million. Moreover, the haul coming close on the heels of Swift’s The Eras Tour, amassing $250 million in its entirety, set a record. A one-of-a-kind for two concert films to reach blockbuster status together in the same calendar year now belonged to the music industry.

Interestingly, the sheer numbers for Queen Bey’s movie are yet to account for the global revenue which would well sail the film past several digits and cement it as one of this year’s biggest releases. Competing head-to-head with Marvel Studios’ ‘The Marvels’, Beyoncé has the upper hand with weeks of viewing ahead. Moreover, the Renaissance concert movie’s numbers are a record in themselves as the highest gross for this very weekend in the last 20 years.

The ‘Halo’ singer’s dedication to her concert film stood evident thanks to her going to great lengths during its Los Angeles premiere. While several A-listers attended the Beverly Hills event, many of the singer’s closest aides were missing. However, everything wrapped up full circle when another star-studded event swooned the city of London. Fresh off the South American leg of her concert, Taylor Swift landed in for the 30th November event.

The ‘Wildest Dreams’ singer joined Blake Lively and several A-listers for a glimpse at the box office extravaganza and a fashion fiesta. The singer adorned the ‘chrome carpet’, dressed to match the mandated theme of “cozy opulence”. Wearing a thigh-slit silver dress and a red lip, the 33-year-old ruled the Internet for her minimalistic yet elegant looks.
