# Under My Spell Tour

The Under My Spell Tour was the debut headlining concert tour by American recording artist Paula Abdul. The tour supports her second studio album Spellbound (1991). The tour began in October 1991 and ran for nearly 100 shows in North America, Australasia, and Asia.
During the Asian leg of the Under My Spell Tour, Abdul notably became the first Western female pop star to have a concert in China, playing a show in Guangzhou.

## Broadcasts and recordings

The shows at the Yokohama Arena in Japan were released as a live VHS video and Laser disc in 1993. The concerts aired on local television in Japan and on Disney Channel in the United States.
