Mariah Carey concert chronology

Caution World Tour was the eleventh concert tour by American singer Mariah Carey, in support of her fifteenth studio album, Caution.[1] The tour consisted of 35 dates, including shows in North America, Europe and the Caribbean, at a mix of small and mid-size venues and arenas.

The tour was met with praise from some music critics. The tour failed to translate into sales of the album as Caution sold a total of approximately 80,000 copies globally, becoming Carey's lowest-selling studio album.[2]

Background and development

Carey's fifteenth studio album, titled Caution, was released on November 16, 2018 and received universal acclaim from critics.[3] The album was described as a "fine-tuning" of Carey's previous work,[4] and was praised for its freshness which made it "pleasingly defiant",[5] with some critics hailing it as being "the new blueprint for legacy acts" of Carey's stature.[6] By December 2018, the album had been featured on several year-end lists.[7] Prior to the album's release, dates were announced for both the North American and European leg of the tour, teasing it as being her "most intimate tour yet".[8]

The opening leg of the tour was performed in small, theatre-based and mid-sized venues across North America. It kicked off on February 27, 2019 in Irving, Texas and concluded on April 6 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.[9] The European leg of the tour was mainly arena-based, with Carey opening on May 22 in Dublin and finishing on June 13 in Amsterdam.

Following this, Carey performed at several festivals including the Festival d'été de Québec at the Plains of Abraham, Canada, where the singer performed in front of an audience of over 90,000 people,[10] and the Curaçao North Sea Jazz Festival.[11]

Critical reception

Amsterdam, Netherlands
, June 2019

Although the tour consisted of small and mid-size arenas, many of the dates did not sell out. The tour garnered praise from some music critics, many of whom commended the quality of Carey's voice and the singer's stage presence. In a review for the

Atlanta-Journal Constitution, Melissa Ruggieri concluded that Carey had ”resumed her live prowess”, describing it as being ”a commendable feat nearly 30 years into a career and one worth cheering”.[16] Similarly, Stefan Kyriazis from Express gave the show 5 stars, stating: "She was hitting the high trills, the low growls, and all those iconic whistle notes were popping off all over the stage..."[17]

Carey had a three-day residency at the Royal Albert Hall in London. She was praised both for her vocal ability and overall stage presence. Michael Cragg from The Guardian described Carey's "incredible, playful performances" as a testament to her status as a "gold-plated pop diva".[18] Similarly, Kate Solomon from The Daily Telegraph stated the shows were "a surreal but wildly enjoyable showcase of a brighter, more fun side of the pop icon".[19] In a review for The Arts Desk, Sebastian Scotney stated Carey "delivers and the audience delivers back".[20] During her concert in Dublin, Louise Bruton from The Irish Times stated: "She takes us through three decades of hits, from soul-searching ballads to chart-topping songs that bring in pop hooks, hip-hop beats, R&B melodies that show off every side of the singer that we’ve come to know over the years".[21] Rosa Diaz from 20 minutos also gave a positive review of her concert in Barcelona, citing Carey's "powerful presence, who reviewed her greatest hits alternated with some songs from her new album, showing her vocal ability and knowing how to be on stage".[22]
