Alessia Cara was set to kick off her 2025 tour next month in support of her recent album, Love & Hyperbole. However, the pop star took to social media on Friday (March 28) to reveal that the U.S. leg of the tour has been postponed.

“I cried about it then patched it up with ice cream. I’m so so so sorry, my US friends 💔 I’ll make it up to you, I promise!!!! thank you. I love you,” she wrote in the caption to the statement, in which she shared that “there are truly so many factors that lead to this (reluctant) decision, all of which were genuinely and completely out of my control.”

She continued, “Touring, especially today, is challenging and involves to many little moving parts. Bottom line is 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, but I can only hope you understand.”

The “Scars to Your Beautiful” singer noted that the rest of the tour, which will take place across Canada, Asia, Australia and Europe, will go on as planned. “As soon as I have new information on the new US dates, I will let you know,” she wrote, adding that original tickets will be honored on the new dates.

“I love you so much,” the Grammy winner concluded her statement. “I can’t apologize enough and I’ll make it up to you. See you soon.”

Cara’s Love & Hyperbole arrived on Valentine’s Day and featured singles “Dead Man,” “Slow Motion,” and “Obvious.”
