Is this the real reason the tour is being pushed back or was it really a lack of sales?

Is this the real reason the tour is being pushed back or was it really a lack of sales? I never believe PR statements. Money is everything to the music industry. Katy Perry only had one week to rehearse for the California Dreams Tour. Deadlines are met because money is on the line. I don't believe for one second that her core team supplied by a major label like Def Jam could have fucked up so hard that they are months behind on set creation. Bottom line: She booked an arena tour and can't fill the seats until after this fall when Fancy part 2 is the smash of the summer. In my opinion, an artist needs at least 3 big hits to get 80% fill rate of an arena tour. She had the hits, so I'm not sure where the main issue is. When I paid to see her last summer, demand was fucking huge. I would have thought by now an arena tour wouldn't have been a problem.

I do think it has something to do with lower ticket sales, I think she should've co-headlined with someone, because after only 2 solid singles, being arena-ready is kind of reaching.
I really enjoy her in concert though, I loved The New Classic tour and got so much life from hearing Work and Change Your Life live. I still have full faith in our girl, I was just watching the Change Your Life video, she is such a star.

I was looking forward to the show with Tinashe and Nick, but the both of them are still new as are Iggy. If the tour was announced in September or October and it was a theater tour, there wouldn't be a postponement.

Remember when Iggy Azalea was a thing?
I don't know how she went from Fancy/Problem to...this?...in like 6 months.

Uh... are we suddenly forgetting she's literally been the talk of the Internet for the past few months? its slowed down after the Grammys last month (and mainly cuz she left social media) but still. and thankfully cuz I actually believe it's a good thing for normal people to have a break from opening their browser and having some new Iggy Azalea-related headline pop up... And the chart "floppage" is either due to a) messy campaigns b) material not up to par of her previous singles as it's been said before imo. plus were we really expecting her to be the type of artist that would suddenly start farting smash hits with every release a la Katy Perry or Rihanna? I guess you were. but are we also forgetting how long it took for her to finally get A hit and release the album? hasn't even been a full year yet.....
I'll just be happy if she's still motivated to keep making music and putting out stuff to stay in the spotlight after all the bs she's had to deal with in the past year. I'm sure if the material is great at least she won't have a hard time getting her song played on radio, or people to stream her vids, etc.

Remember when Iggy Azalea was a thing? I don't know how she went from Fancy/Problem to...this?...in like 6 months. Ariana Grande went from 0-60 to back to 0 in just the same amount of time before "Problem" hit. Plus with her social media sabbatical there is nothing to currently talk about till the next project comes around.

I wouldn't say Iggy's at 0 right now (certainly not as much as Ariana was this time last year cause her hit record's stronger), but she sputtered from like 80 to 30 very quickly during the time that they were pushing Beg For It and it still hasn't really started to recover cause she can't stop running her mouth.

I think she's just kind of in a pop-limbo status right now only because nothing from Reclassified was a smash like Fancy and Black Widow were. Rather than the Reclassified idea, I really think Work should've been re-released to close out the era so that it had a chance to showcase her talent without any female vocalists doing the hooks. It actually p**ses me off that the label completely turned their back on that opportunity, tbh. I think it would've been a hit and proven herself a little more that she can hold her own on a track.

"Change Your Life" is still the best thing she's done. Well, maybe tied up with "Work".
Still think she should have closed off the era with a video for "Goddess" and never released Reclassified.

"100", "Work" Re-Release, and "Goddess" all could've been released. After the MØ incident and no video for "Beg For It", they should've just scrapped it but what's done is done.

Only just saw this now. HOLY SHIT! Too good. "One of my top feud friends, fellow rapper Azaelia Banks. She's sooo mad at me, our feud is so hip hop." The Iggy accuracy is uncanny, but Azealia coming to apologize? Don't think so... her character portrayal is the skit's achilles heel but it's still such a golden skit. @soblu think pink. you should watch!

New interview from SXSW: m.apnews.com/ap/db_268764/contentdetail.htm?contentguid=maRNpHbC I posted the more interesting parts on the thread about the Britney/Iggy collab. She also mentions how the new album will be "more up-tempo and just really fun. I just want to have something so summer and so girly, so loud and obnoxious and braggadocios", should we open a new thread or is it fine to stay here? (yes, I'm ignoring the fact that Trouble is still a thing for this era)

I think she may have been taken out of context, it's clearly Britney's new single.
