“This was one of the most memorable tours of my career,” the “Don’t Bother” hitmaker stated in a press statement.
“After I recovered my voice, my fans inspired me to get back on stage as they always do, and it’s pretty surreal to be reliving it with them now in over 60 countries in theaters throughout the world.”
“I know they’ve been asking on my socials for this concert film and now it’s finally ready,” she continued.
