# The So Nice Tour

The So Nice Tour was the fourth concert tour by Canadian recording artist Carly Rae Jepsen. Launched in support of her sixth studio album The Loneliest Time (2022), The tour began on 21 September 2022 and concluded on 13 August 2023.

## Background

The tour was announced 7 June 2022, shortly after the release of the album's first single, "Western Wind". American singer/songwriter, Empress Of would be announced alongside and serve as the support act for the entire North American leg of the tour, except for two co-headlining shows announced a month prior, that Jepsen would perform with American rock band, Bleachers in Cleveland and Toronto respectively. The tour commenced in Montreal, Canada on 24 September 2022 and marked as her first set of live performances since 2019.
Jepsen aligned with non-profit, PLUS1 to have one dollar from all shows (in North America) donated to The Ally Coalition. This organization supports homeless and at-risk LGBTQ youth. During Fall 2022, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australian legs of the tour were announced and proceeded between February and March 2023, with the former supported by French singer/songwriter, Lewis OfMan.

## Critical reception

Reviews for the concerts in America have been positive. Many critics noted Jepsen's showmanship and exuberant energy during the shows. For the concert in Boston, Abigail A. Golden (The Harvard Crimson) writes Jepsen was a "joy to watch". She continues, "With a 27-song setlist, Jepsen's stamina was commendable. In leaping across the stage, trekking up flights of stairs to engage with the members of her band, and coordinating dances with backup vocalists Sophi Bairley and Julia Ross, the singer kept the energy up throughout her entire performance."
Moving to Philadelphia, Maureen Walsh (WXPN) states she enjoyed how the music was the main attraction of the show. She wrote, "All night, I kept looking around seeing people singing along, having a great time and losing themselves dancing to some fun freaking music. Carly's moonlady animation was right: forget your cares and enjoy yourself every once in a while, it will do you a world of good."
For the concert in Los Angeles, Jefferson Lim (Annenberg Media) says the performance "radiated energy". He says, "The nearly 90-minute show was an unforgettable, energetic night of fun. Jepsen performed non-stop with such vigor and passion that it was just too hard not to dance and sing along. If love is a lonely road, then we can rest easy knowing that we have the comfort of Jepsen's music to go along with it."
