BLACKPINK headlined and sold out different stadiums across Europe, Asia and North America in the last 30 days with the group’s “Born Pink” world tour.
Most recently, on Friday and Saturday, BLACKPINK continued its successful “Born Pink” world tour in New Jersey after its sold-out shows at the My Dinh National Stadium in Vietnam on July 29 and 30. The group performed at MetLife Stadium, which features 82,500 seats, for its New Jersey stop.
Having two consecutive sold-out shows at MetLife Stadium makes BLACKPINK sit at the same table with Beyoncé and Taylor Swift as the only female artists to sell out two consecutive nights at the biggest NFL (National Football League) stadium in the U.S.

On the first day of BLACKPINK’s sold-out concert in New Jersey, retired NFL star Tom Brady was spotted in a fan-shared photo. “This is the most ‘dad takes his daughter and her friends to a concert’ picture ever taken,” Brady retweeted and captioned the tweet.
According to Billboard, Brady attended the “Born Pink” concert at MetLife Stadium with his 10-year-old daughter Vivian.
