Australian Tour 2013 [1] (also known as the Triumphant Tour or the Triumphant Australian Tour by fans and in the media [2] ) was an Australian concert tour by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey.

Background

After the birth of Carey's twins, Moroccan and Mornoe Cannon, with then-husband Nick Cannon in 2011, Carey decided to take a break from music and spend the next two years focused on other projects, such as being the spokesperson for American weight loss company Jenny Craig [3] and creating a second capsule collection for HSN. [4] In 2012, inspired by the death of fellow singer Whitney Houston and Cannon's hospitalization due to kidney failure, Carey made her grand return to music with "Triumphant (Get 'Em)", featuring American rappers Rick Ross and Meek Mill, originally released as the lead single from her 14th studio album, Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse , at the time titled The Art of Letting Go. However, negative reviews and low sales reflected on the song not being included in Carey's next effort and the song received very little promotion, as it was then considered as a mere buzz single before the release of "#Beautiful", the actual lead single of Carey's next album.

Still part of Carey's return to music, the singer embarked on a 3 date tour across Australia, a region she hadn't visited since 1998's Butterfly World Tour. With shows on the Gold Coast, Sydney and Melbourne, the tour received positive reviews among the press and fans of the singer. [5] [6]
