Beyoncé at Gillette continues "Goldilocks" economic boost

• This was Beyoncé's first time at Gillette Stadium since 2018, and some fans with general admission tickets showed up at 6am, WBZ reported.

Why it matters: Beyoncé should have been an economist — her 2011 observation that it's girls who run the world is now showing up in microeconomic aggregates, write Axios' Emily Peck and Felix Salmon.

• A not-too-hot, not-too-cold economy like the one we're seeing is known as a "Goldilocks economy."

What's happening: Consumers are prioritizing experiences and entertainment over buying things, as fresh economic data for July shows.

Flashback: We already saw the stimulating impact Swift's tour had on Boston-area bars, restaurants and hotels during her three-night stand in Foxboro. She sold out hotels and metro tickets.

What's next: Following Beyoncé's "Renaissance" stop, we're watching to see whether an economic boost shows up in the data.

• We do know that commuter rail tickets for the show also sold out quickly — in 1.5 hours.
• The increased spending linked to Bey's debut performances in Sweden may have caused an uptick in the country's inflation rate, the New York Times reported.
