one bad album and shes crashing out like that? wild

the album is immaculate, but i agree, shes throwing a temper tantrum over the last couple months and its sad to see. this was the one album from her i actually liked and wanted her to succeed because ive heard amazing things about her music over the years.

[Princess Aurora]

Why?

[xokuba]

She should just cancel the whole tour now, this is a mess and a ******* overpriced mess too...

 

[Pavement Princess]

Y'all don't understand the cost of shipping her is too high because of the tariffs.

[godmess]

The whole era being the opposite of the word its built on 

[KatyPrismSpirit]

What a mess…

 

Hope there is not something else happening behind the scenes that she can't be transparent about. Cancelling tour dates (including Coachella) because of visa issues seems a bit odd. Especially for someone who now has major label backing. I don't know if I believe this tbh.

Love ha but it's going to be incredibly difficult to regain credibility as a touring act

It'll take at least two tours. Even if she goes on tour ever again, is on time and doesn't cancel a single show, people will be careful buying tickets. She now needs two tours without any cancellation to prove that she can do it.

An overwhelming majority of the EU and all of the UK can travel within the US for up to 90 days at a time without the need for a visa.  So what is the truth?  Mexico is even more lenient.

It really isn't that simple. If she really is having issues with Visa etc. then that is a legit thing. You can't go there just because you want to. You need a visa and in her case visa that will allow her to work so she can pay taxes there. 

 

Also in the last few weeks EU countries warned people travelling to US that they passport must have Male or Female as a gender and non binary terms are unacceptable as US won't let people in. So if anyone on her team, dancers etc has that they need new passports etc on top of that it slows things down even more.

Did she really cancel it and say "but here are four photos from the show you will miss. tata!"

I smell BS. Isn't she British? You can just apply for ESTA and get in the US within 72 hours. What the **** is she even talking about? 
 

She has no respect for her fans and that is extremely disgusting. 

I don't think getting into the country is the issue, it's working there, but it's extremely unprofessional of her to not have that sorted out before even announcing the tour

[Kern]

[Cain]

Screaming at her including pictures of the show

 

anyway I'm supposed to see her at a festival in July but I've lowkey already given up on that

[paperfectdelusion]

There must be reasoning underneath as I just can't see the US embassy rejected the crew's visa like that? And what it has to do with Mexico and Canada date?

Thank you, @RideOrDie

Her communication and lack of organisation is embarrassing, but at the same time people do need to understand that artists need a work visa, not just a tourist visa or ESTA. With how things are in the US right now, it doesn't surprise me that things seem to be much more complicated and taking much longer than they should – although again, not having this 100 % figured out before the tour starts is just unprofessional to me. 

[Bimbo]

How up your own ass do you have to be to post pictures of the show those fans will never get to experience while you're cancelling A DAY before... she's insane  

[campelo]

All of her dancers has different international backgrounds, the process has different times for each country. This is a mess. 

[beyonceparkwood]

visa issues? is this a trumpian doing?

Talking about visa issues when you don't even need a visa to travel to Mexico for less than 180 days...

not to defend twigs but you guys have absolutely zero idea of how visas work 

 

besides, i don't even think it's HER doing. group work visas are usually handled by some sort of manager or something. i really doubt it's the artist themselves applying for their own visas as well as their entire team's. even when you do an exchange program at school, usually it's the international department who handle the visa paperworks for the students

[Pendulum]

Watch the brainwashed twiglets defend this TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL behaviour for the THIRD time.

There's no excuse. Visas should've been taken care of at least a year in advance

Well yes, like I said: "not having this 100 % figured out before the tour starts is just unprofessional to me". My point was that people acting like she can just get an ESTA or tourist visa and then go on to perform (i.e. work) in the US also seem to not have understood a thing or two.

You're still trying to excuse it. People are entitled to be mad, there's nothing to understand here. She should've had this figured out months ago and that's it. There's nothing else to add.
