The tour is in support of her latest album, ‘Bewitched’, which will soon receive an update, dubbed “The Goddess version”. The upcoming update has been previewed by its title track ‘Goddess’, which comes with a music video helmed by Past Lives director Celine Song.
Speaking to NME The Cover last year, Laufey explained why she was drawn to explore ideas about love, relationships and romanticising one’s own life on ‘Bewitched’. “I think love makes everyone really silly,” Laufey said. “I remember the first time I went on a date, we had a glass of wine and we kissed and then I left in the rain, and I remember thinking, ‘Oh my god, it’s really like the movies!’”

In a five-star review of ‘Bewitched’, NME wrote: “Claiming space with her take on the music of classical legends of years gone by mixed with something more modern, up on that stage is where Laufey’s destined to be.”
The album scored Laufey her first-ever Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album earlier this year. Following the win, she recapped performing on the cello for Billy Joel, celebrating the win and more in an In Conversation chat with NME.
