The Bangerz Tour was the fourth concert tour by American singer Miley Cyrus, launched in support of her fourth studio album, ''Bangerz'' (2013). The tour visited the Americas, Europe, and Oceania. Described as "campy", "surreal", and "raunchy", it received predominantly favorable reviews from critics, who praised Cyrus' stage presence, vocals, originality, and self-mockery. It was the 16th highest-grossing tour of 2014, earning $62.9 million.〔http://www.pollstarpro.com/files/charts2014/2014YearEndTop100WorldwideTours.pdf〕 The concert was filmed in Barcelona and Lisbon, airing on NBC on July 6, 2014 and being released on DVD and Blu-ray on March 24, 2015. == Background and development == In 2012, Cyrus announced plans to focus on her film career, effectively putting her musical endeavors on hiatus. That year, she appeared in the films ''LOL'' and ''So Undercover''. She was also confirmed as a primary voice actress in the feature film ''Hotel Transylvania'', but dropped out of the project to coordinate a musical comeback. In January 2013, Cyrus ended her recording contract with Hollywood Records, under which she released the albums ''Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus'' (2007), ''Breakout'' (2008), ''Can't Be Tamed'' (2010), and EP ''The Time of Our Lives'' (2009). Later that month, she signed a recording contract with RCA Records. In March, she confirmed that her fourth studio album would be released by the end of 2013. The final product, ''Bangerz'', was released on October 4, 2013. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 61, which indicates "generally favorable reviews", based on 21 reviews.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bangerz Reviews, Ratings, Credits, and More )〕 It debuted at number one on the U.S. ''Billboard'' 200, having moved 270,000 units, and charted strongly in several countries worldwide.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Miley Cyrus - Bangerz )〕 During her appearance on ''Today'' on October 7, Cyrus first mentioned her intentions to tour in 2014. On October 26, she made a surprise appearance on another episode of ''Saturday Night Live'' to officially announce the Bangerz Tour. Claire Atkinson from the ''New York Post'' reported that concert promoters Live Nation Entertainment and AEG Live engaged in much competition to promote the tour, with the former ultimately being selected to represent the North American leg after agreeing to pay Cyrus $500,000 per presentation. On November 11, a series of three promotional videos were released to YouTube to promote the Bangerz Tour. Cyrus originally announced that The Blonds and Kenzo were enlisted as costume designers in December, although Roberto Cavalli was later confirmed for the position after six sketches of costume designs were released in January 2014. Cyrus began rehearsals later that month, at which time John Kricfalusi, creator of The Ren & Stimpy Show, was enlisted to create artwork and animation for the tour.〔Simpson, Aaron, ("FIRST LOOK: John K’s Animation From the Miley Cyrus Tour" ), ''ColdHardFlash.com', 16 February 2014〕 During a teleconference on July 30, 2014, Cyrus stated that the goal of the tour was to make something that was "really fun", "real" and had a "good energy about it". She further stated- "I think the best thing for an artist is to see people sing along to your songs, and also to have people participating in your show... this show is a really hard show to not want to get up and be involved... there's a feminist energy there, and if people enjoy taking a chance and coming to a show that's different, I really appreciate that. I hope my fans are kind of inspired by my show to take it to the next level." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bangerz Tour」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
