Background

On June 6, 2022, Lovato announced her eighth studio album, Holy Fvck.^[2] A day later, Lovato announced tour dates and stated that she would embark on a concert tour supporting the album throughout the Summer and Fall of 2022.^[3] American hard rock band Dead Sara and singer-songwriter Royal & the Serpent were set to open the North American leg.^[4]

Reception

Julia Koscelnick of The GW Hatchet praised her concert in Washington, D.C., quoted that, "she never fails to dazzle with her vocals, but a lack of energy during her show to take her time to rest, fans could emphathize with Lovato taking time off to focus on resting her vocal cords."^[8] Jessica Jakubowicz of the Concordian, gave a positive review for Lovato's concert in Montreal, praising her all-girl band and vocals, and stating that her vocals fit the rock arrangements of her back-catalogue.^[9]
