Background

The tour was announced June 2022,[2] shortly after Jepsen released the album's first single, "Western Wind".[3] It became her first set of concerts since 2019.[4] It was set to begin 24 May 2022 in Montreal, Canada.[5] Before the official announcement, it was released Jepsen would perform two co-headlining shows with Bleachers.[6] Those shows took place in Cleveland and Toronto.

Jepsen aligned with PLUS1 to have one dollar from all shows (in North America) donated to The Ally Coalition.[7] This organization supports homeless and at-risk LGBTQ youth. In October 2022, shows were revealed in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia.

Critical reception

Reviews for the concerts in America have been positive. Many critics noted Jepsen's showmanship and exuberant energy during the shows. For the concert in Boston, Abigail A. Golden (The Harvard Crimson) writes Jepsen was a "joy to watch". She continues, "With a 27-song setlist, Jepsen's stamina was commendable. In leaping across the stage, trekking up flights of stairs to engage with the members of her band, and coordinating dances with backup vocalists Sophi Bairley and Julia Ross, the singer kept the energy up throughout her entire performance."[8]

Moving to Philadelphia, Maureen Walsh (WXPN) states she enjoyed how the music was the main attraction of the show. She wrote, "All night, I kept looking around seeing people singing along, having a great time and losing themselves dancing to some fun freaking music. Carly's moonlady animation was right: forget your cares and enjoy yourself every once in a while, it will do you a world of good."[9]

For the concert in Los Angeles, Jefferson Lim (Annenberg Media) says the performance "radiated energy". He says, "The nearly 90-minute show was an unforgettable, energetic night of fun. Jepsen performed non-stop with such vigor and passion that it was just too hard not to dance and sing along. If love is a lonely road, then we can rest easy knowing that we have the comfort of Jepsen's music to go along with it."[10]
