Background and development
On February 1, 2019, Cara announced that she would embark on a 12-date Canadian tour in support of her second album, The Pains of Growing.[1] Ryland James was announced as the opening act.[2] With dates in May, she avoided conflicts with Shawn Mendes: The Tour, with whom she was the opening act.
In July, Cara announced that she would be releasing an EP, This Summer, and that she would be embarking on a US leg of the tour, performing 18 shows across the country. Ryland James was announced to be returning as the opening act, although Cara's tour guitarist Craig Stickland filled in as the opening act for one show in Prior Lake, Minnesota.[3]
