Kiyoko announced her decision to cancel the tour in a lengthy Instagram post and described it as one of the hardest decisions she’s ever made since she never canceled any of her shows before.

“The timing for the tour didn’t go the way we had hoped and due to a lot of factors not aligning for the year ahead, I am forced to make the extremely difficult decision to cancel my upcoming North American tour,” the singer posted on Instagram but also reassured her fans that she’ll use this time to finish her new album and give them her absolute best.

Hayley Kiyoko was supposed to hit the road on January 29th and perform a total of 26 concerts across North America. Her decision to cancel the tour comes a few days after she dropped new EP I’m Too Sensitive for This Sh–, which was preceded by her latest single “She”.

The singer’s latest video is jam-packed with 2000s references and sees her hanging out inside her childhood bedroom. It shows her enjoying a bunch of different activates we all did during our teen years while no one was watching, like trying on a bunch of different outfits and dancing to the beats of our favorite song.

It was only fitting for this track to come with a video that takes us back to her childhood since she spent her teenage years hiding her true self, but learned how to fully embrace who she was and how to turn her dreams into a reality.

“She is an unofficial anthem to keep me going through the hard times when I’m unsure of myself. I wrote this song as a tribute to embracing your dreams and being unafraid to live fully in your truth without regrets,” Kiyoko told MTV.

“She” will be one of the songs featured on her next record I’m Too Sensitive For This Sh–, which still doesn’t have an official release date.

Kiyoko’s new album and tour will be called I’m Too Sensitive For This Sh*t, and this title comes with an interesting backstory. The singer admitted she had this “dramatic statement” written down for ages, but eventually saved it for her sophomore album.

Her new tour will kick off in San Diego on January 29th, and she described it as “a great bridge to where she’s headed for the sophomore album” while discussing her future plans with Rolling Stone.

Hayley Kiyoko also admitted that her heavy touring schedule can be overwhelming, because “there’s no book on how to survive tour and how to take care of yourself and be there for others”. The list of things that help her keep a clear head includes everything from acupuncture and essential oils to good nail salons and lots of Purell.

This charming video sees Kiyoko trying to get over her ex with a little bit of help from her friends and an old fashion magic potion. Despite its supernatural premise, “I Wish” is all about finding support in your loved ones while going through hard times.

“It’s really hard when you love someone who doesn’t feel the same way. In this video, I wanted to bring to life the support group we all need when our love for someone isn’t being reciprocated. Having a strong support system of friends is so important to remind us we are loved and we are not alone,” said Hayley Kiyoko about the video that she directed on her own.

“I Wish” is the first single she released this year, and it’s set to appear on her next album, the follow-up to 2018 record Expectations.

Grande discussed many of her career milestones in a lengthy cover story and accepted the award surrounded by her peers, including Janelle Monáe and Alicia Keys. Her performance of “Thank U, Next” was followed by an emotional and empowering speech, which she ended on a positive note.

“I’m really looking forward to embracing whatever happens and whatever comes my way. I have everything I’ve ever dreamt of having, and as of late I’ve discovered that it’s the things I’ve always had and the people I’ve always had that still make me the happiest,” said Ariana Grande at the Billboard’s Women in Music event.
