Health and Performance Considerations
To protect my health and deliver my best at every show, Lovato stated, I require more time to rest, rehearse, and adapt to a revised schedule with increased downtime. This adjustment aims to sustain her throughout the entire tour run, highlighting a proactive approach to artist well-being in the demanding music industry.

The affected cities include:
- Charlotte, North Carolina
