112 dates in
110 cities, six countries, and three continents, playing for more than
1,000,000 fans and selling out every concert this year.

575,424 individual
LED lights in 3,
000 square feet of video walls and an incredible 23,063 feet of cable to generate the 172 different colors used in the show’s lighting. As part of each show, Carrie and her band flew

CO2 and
Nitrogen tanks were used during the life of the tour to create the “Blown Away” tornado effect at each performance.
