Introduction to the Tour
R&B icons Brandy and Monica are teaming up for a co-headlining tour for the first time. The announcement was made on CBS Morning, and fans are beyond excited. The tour, titled "The Boy Is Mine Tour," will feature special guests Kelly Rowland, Muni Long, and Jamal Roberts, the winner of the 23rd season of American Idol. The tour is produced by The Black Promoters Collective.
The Significance of the Tour
According to Brandy, "This is really a full-circle moment. Monica and I coming together again is not just about the music – it’s about honoring where we came from and how far we’ve both come." The tour is a celebration of growth, sisterhood, and the love that their fans have given them over the years. Brandy and Monica’s 1998 hit song "The Boy Is Mine" was a defining chapter in R&B, and sharing the stage together is a dream come true for fans.
Tour Dates and Tickets
The 24-day tour kicks off on October 16 in Cincinnati at the Heritage Bank Center and wraps up on December 7 in Houston at the Toyota Center. The tour will make stops in major cities like Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Brooklyn. Tickets will go on sale on Ticketmaster on June 27 at 10 a.m., with a pre-sale available through the Black Promoters Collective on June 26 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. local time.
A Special Announcement Video
To announce the tour, Brandy and Monica released a two-minute film directed by Ethan Tobman. The film shows the two singers locked in separate rooms in a prison, with "The Boy Is Mine" serving as the key to freeing them from their chains and bringing them back together.
The Meaning Behind the Tour
For Monica, the tour is a celebration of their history, impact, and fans who have grown with them. "The love that ‘The Boy Is Mine’ has is still everything to me," she said. "Brandy and I were on our own journeys, and this tour is a reminder of the power of respect, strength, and real music." The tour is a testament to the enduring legacy of "The Boy Is Mine" and the impact it has had on R&B music.
A New Chapter for Brandy and Monica
The tour comes after Brandy and Monica reunited last year for a remix of "The Boy Is Mine" on Ariana Grande’s album "Eternal Sunshine." The experience of working together again brought them closer, and they are excited to share this new chapter with their fans. As Shelby Joyner, President of Black Promoter Collective, said, "Bringing Brandy and Monica together for this tour is more than just a moment – it’s a cultural reunion."
