Ciara wants to tour next year.
The Level Up hitmaker is excited about what 2026 has in store and has been “manifesting all the good things”, including new music, more live shows and continued success.
She told People magazine: “Oh my gosh, 2026, man. I’m manifesting more joy, more music, more success, you know what I’m saying?
“More zeros, you know what I’m saying? All that good stuff. I’m manifesting all the good things, okay? And [a] tour. Yeah, I’m excited.”
The 40-year-old singer feelt “very fortunate” that her back catalogue has been reaching a new audience thanks to video-sharing platform TikTok.
She said: “I have been very fortunate that pretty much all of my songs have, you know, rang really loud throughout the years … [and] have actually been a lot of the trending songs [on TikTok] over the past years, which has been a blessing and it keeps me young, which I love.
“There’s nothing better than when you hear … my family members or, you know, I hear young teenagers being like, ‘I just heard [2006’s] Get Up for the first time.’ I’m like, ‘Where you’ve been at?’
“But you know, those moments actually, they make me smile so big because I feel like it helps me to stay connected as an artist. And it’s very motivating … I can tell you, I can never get enough of [2018’s] Level Up just continuing to trend and re-trend, you know?
“As an independent artist, it’s just been a blessing when you put out music and your fans love it and the whole world sings it with you and it trends on platforms like TikTok. So, really proud of that.”
Ciara – who has 11-year-old Future with first husband Future, and Sienna, eight, Win, five, and 23-month-old Amora, with spouse Russell Wilson – tries to find a balance between sharing her life with fans via social media and maintaining her privacy.
She said: “You have to roll with your gut when you do posts. I think fun things are always cool. And it’s one of those things where you just know what’s right and wrong, you know?
“You don’t want to really show locations … sometimes because, you know, people be up in the mix, and you never know who might try to pull up on you. So I try to be mindful of stuff like that. But I think if we’re spreading love and joy and good vibes in the world, then the TikToks are all good.”
