Hilary Duff is officially back in the spotlight. After more than a decade away from the music industry, the actress-singer has confirmed plans for a world tour, marking a major milestone in her long-awaited comeback.

After the routine, she handed each participant a T-shirt emblazoned with the words “World,” “Tour,” and “Loading…” As the fans turned to face the audience, the crowd erupted in applause, realizing the surprise reveal.
Sixth Studio Album on the Horizon
The tour announcement comes just weeks before the release of Duff’s sixth studio album, Luck… or Something, which drops on February 20. Produced with her husband, musician Matthew Koma, the album promises to showcase Duff’s growth as both an artist and a person. The project blends her pop roots with a more mature sound, reflecting her evolution since her last full-length release.
