Known for her innovative and groundbreaking music videos, it's no surprise she announced her tour on the day of the 2024 solar eclipse. She said her goal is to bring those music videos to life for fans.
"It’s an experience, it’s not just you seeing the artist on the stage," Missy Elliott told the Associated Press. "I want people to travel to those moments, those (music) videos, I want you to relive it on stage. It is most definitely a lot of good, good stuff. Expensive stuff!"
