Background and development

On 23 September 2016 YG Entertainment announced that CL would hold her first American tour. She will visit nine cities in North America, with a total of nine shows.[4] The tour's name derives from CL's 2015 Korean language single "Hello Bitches". The tour's announcement followed the release of CL's debut American single "Lifted" on 19 August, amid news of an upcoming English-language debut EP.

Controversy

On 7 November, fans and concertgoers had noticed that CL had been using the "controversial" version of her song "MTBD (Mental Breakdown)" since the tour started.[5] CL apologized on her Twitter account stating that her "engineer [had] sent the old version for [the] tour".[6] CL performed the alternative version for the later shows.[7]

gollark: Anyway, try and work out what subtopics offer the highest exam marks per unit time, then focus on revising those, but don't spend too long on that or you will lose time on actually revising it.
gollark: You should probably do that? Sleep deprivation is no joke.
gollark: Anyway, if for some reason you *can't* do that, you almost certainly cannot revise a year of stuff in two complex subjects very well and should just try and work out what to prioritize.
gollark: Don't we all?
gollark: I don't know. There's a lot of overlap.
