The Honeymoon Tour was the second concert tour and first international tour by American singer Ariana Grande in support of her second studio album, ''My Everything'' (2014). The tour, which was officially announced on September 10, 2014, traveled across North America, Europe, Asia, and South America. It began on February 25, 2015 in Independence, Missouri and concluded on October 25, 2015 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. == Background == On June 5, 2014, about a month before the release of "Break Free", the second single from ''My Everything'' (2014), Grande confirmed plans of a tour in support of the upcoming album via her Twitter account. Through her account, Grande stated that she had signed her tour contract and will be visiting continents other than North America, therefore making the tour her first world tour. During this time, there were many rumors of fellow recording artist Iggy Azalea joining Grande on tour due to their massive success on Grande's track, "Problem", but these rumors were proven false when Grande and Azalea announced separate headlining tours in September and December, respectively. About a week after the release of ''My Everything'', on September 10, 2014, Grande officially announced the tour's title, which is a reference to the opening track off of Grande's debut album, ''Yours Truly'' (2013), and the tour's North American leg. The first leg, which is promoted by Live Nation, visited twenty-six cities across North America beginning on February 25, 2015 in Independence, Missouri and concluding on April 16, 2015 in Vancouver, Canada. Tickets for the first leg of the tour went on sale to the general public on September 20, 2014 through Live Nation's website. Supporting acts for the North American leg include English pop rock band Rixton, who will be promoting their latest studio album, ''Let the Road'' (2015), and Norwegian EDM disc jockey Cashmere Cat. The European leg of the tour was announced on November 17, 2014, which was about a week after Grande's performance and multiple wins at the 2014 MTV Europe Music Awards, held in Glasgow, Scotland. The second leg of the tour started on May 14, 2015 in Paris, France and ended a month later on June 16, 2015 in Barcelona, Spain. Tickets for the second leg of the tour became available to the public four days after the announcement, on November 21, 2014. In the months leading up to the tour, Grande had been publicly tweeting to her followers from rehearsals teasing them about the tour. To show her devotion for the tour, Grande tweeted "These rehearsals are kicking my ass but I love it. Really want to make this show the best I'm capable of." Grande also shared a video from rehearsals that features her practicing with Mi.Mu Gloves, which she will be using onstage during her performances. Mi.Mu Gloves, which were designed and created by Imogen Heap, are used to alter the wearer's voice by moving their hands in different directions. In the rehearsal video, Grande can be seen singing chords from songs such as "Why Try" while practicing with the technologically advanced gloves. In another rehearsal video posted through the tour's official YouTube page, Grande shared the band arrangement of "One Last Time", the fourth single from ''My Everything'', which includes an extended string intro and raised key change. On February 25, 2015, Grande shared an Instagram video of a conversation between herself and her now-deceased grandfather, in which he gives her advice and shows support of her career. It was then revealed during the opening night show that the same video posted is a part of a tribute dedicated to Grande's grandfather that takes place during every concert before she sings the ballad, "My Everything". Also during the opening night of the tour, Cashmere Cat debuted a new collaboration between himself and Grande, which they had hinted at on Twitter weeks before the tour officially started. About a week after the tour had started, the song, officially titled "Adore", was released to iTunes and became available to stream on Vevo on March 3, 2015. 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「The Honeymoon Tour」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
