Alessia Cara is putting the American leg of her tour on hold.
The singer, 28, made the announcement in a post shared via Instagram on Friday, March 28. “It’s breaking my heart to say this, but I unfortunately have to postpone the US leg of the Love & Hyperbole tour,” she wrote, adding that there are “truly so many factors” that led to the decision, “all of which are genuinely and completely out of my control.”
“Touring, especially today, is challenging and involves so many little moving parts,” she continued. “We couldn’t make it all work on time.”
“Disappointing you guys is killing me because everything I’ve put into this has been for you and I know how excited you’ve been,” Cara added.
She also said that the tour in Asia, Canada, Australia and Europe will proceed as planned, and “as soon as I have new information on the new US dates I will let you know.”
Cara’s dates in the U.S. were originally set to run from April 6 to 26. The rest of her tour will take place from April 30 to June 19. Her album Love & Hyperbole was released in February 2025, four years after she debuted In the Meantime.
“I really do feel like over the last three years I learned to open up my heart to love and trust in other people,” she told People about the new record. “But it ultimately came back to trust in myself — and not so much trusting that everything’s going to work out all the time, but rather trusting that you will be okay if and when it doesn’t.”
“Not everything works out, it’s inevitable that things don’t go your way or you might be heartbroken,” she added. “We’re not exempt from feeling pain. So I think it’s just that sentiment of ‘I’m going to be okay if it doesn’t go my way.’”
Cara generally shies away from controversy, but back in 2018 she defended herself against detractors who slammed her Best New Artist win at the year’s Grammy Awards.
“To address the apparent backlash regarding winning something I had no control over: I didn’t log onto grammy.com and submit myself. That’s not how it works. I didn’t ask to be submitted either because there are other artists that deserve the acknowledgment,” she wrote via Instagram at the time.
She continued: “But I was nominated and won and I am not going to be upset about something I’ve wanted since I was a kid, not to mention have worked really hard for.”
