The postponement, announced on August 26, was made after Lenae consulted with her team. In an Instagram story post, she expressed her gratitude for the fans' support of her third studio album and assured them that the live performances will be \"worth the wait\" when she returns to the stage in the new year. Originally scheduled to begin on September 15 in Sacramento, the tour was to travel through various cities including Oakland, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, Chicago, Washington D.C., Toronto, Raleigh, Memphis, Dallas, Austin, and Phoenix, with a Los Angeles date at the Greek Theatre on October 21. Supporting acts like Lexa Gates and Nourished By Time were also confirmed for select dates. No specific reason for the postponement was provided by Lenae, but she confirmed that ticket holders will receive refunds for their purchases.",
