Alaina announces tour
Named after her album due Aug. 28, the run will feature new music with songs from throughout her career.
Support includes Shane Profitt, Ashley Kutcher, and Hannah Harper.
"This tour feels like my most personal yet," said Alaina. "'Stages' is all about the different chapters I've lived through: the highs, the heartbreaks, the growth and finding joy in who I am today. Every stage of my life has shaped this music, and now I finally get to bring all of these songs to stages around the country and share them with the fans who've been with me through it all. I hope people leave these shows feeling seen, healed, and maybe even a little more hopeful."

Lauren Alaina made her national name on American Idol (placing second to Scotty McCreery). But she really seems best fitted for "The X Factor." There's something elusively compelling in how the Georgian's positive, eager attitude shines through, even in small doses.
