Following the recent news that Lauren Alaina is a contender on this season’s Dancing with the Stars, her "That Girl Was Me Tour" scheduled for this fall is shifting to a January start date.

Lauren’s "That Girl Was Me Tour" with special guest Filmore now kicks off with two nights in Nashville January 15-16.

She posted last night, "This was THE hardest decision ever, but my team and I have decided to postpone the #ThatGirlWasMeTour to do Dancing With The Stars. After talking to a few of my friends who have been on the show, I realized I couldn’t give the show and the tour 100%. I always want to deliver the best performances I can, so we have moved the tour to early next year. Dancing with the Stars is a once in a lifetime opportunity that I am so excited about. I can’t wait to hang out in your living rooms every Monday and celebrate how far we get on my first headlining tour in January. @filmoremusic will still be on all of the dates, and we are adding a few more ;)."

She continued, "We are offering refunds to everyone who has bought tickets, or you can transfer your tickets to the new dates. I am SO sorry for any inconvenience this causes to those of you who may not be able to make the new dates. I hope I can make it up to you somehow. I’m so thankful for your support in this crazy journey we are on. I love y’all so much! Ps: This decision will be very embarrassing if I get out the first week, so please vote for me. Lol."
