Ross’ upcoming tour will mark her first since performing U.S. and UK/European dates last year as part of her Thank U Tour. Those series of show dates supported her 25th studio album Thank You.
Released in November 2021, Thank You was Ross’ first album in 15 years, following 2006’s I Love You. The featureless LP contained 13 songs, all of which she co-wrote, including the singles “All Is Well” and “If The World Just Danced.”
“This collection of songs is my gift to you with appreciation and love. I am eternally grateful that I had the opportunity to record this glorious music at this time,” Ross said.
Thank You garnered rave reviews, earning Ross a Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album nod at the 65th Grammy Awards. It became her first nomination in 40 years. The award ultimately went to Higher by Michael Bublé.
