Katelyn Tarver to Embark on Spring 2026 Headline Tour

Singer-songwriter and actress Katelyn Tarver has announced her Spring 2026 headline tour, kicking off April 30 in Chicago. The tour announcement follows the recent news of her third studio album, Tell Me How You Really Feel, which arrives March 6 via Nettwerk.

Tarver wrote and recorded Tell Me How You Really Feel with longtime collaborators Grammy-nominated producer Mikey Reaves (Luke Combs, Jelly Roll) and Chad Copelin (Sasha Alex Sloan, Sufjan Stevens), created in the aftermath of the end of her ten-year marriage in 2024.

Inspiration for the album came from unexpected places, including comedians such as Ali Wong. Tarver shares, “There’s a parallel between comedy and turning real-life situations into art. I had watched Ali’s special ‘Single Lady’ about her life post-divorce. I thought it was powerful to be as honest as possible. I said, ‘I don’t know if I’ll ever make another album like this again, so I might as well go for it.’ The title is a direct statement — ‘Tell me the truth. Tell me how you feel. Tell me everything.’ She adds, “I hope this album can be a companion to you if you’re trying to forge your own path. I want you to get a better sense of me, but I also want to empower you to share your story, live your truth, and be vulnerable. That’s what connects us all.”

In addition to new songs, the album includes previously released 2025 singles “The Price,” “$82 at Erewhon,” “Strange Weather,” “Don’t Eat Pray Love,” and “#1." 

Tarver spent much of 2025 touring worldwide with Big Time Rush and starting up again in February with arena shows in Mexico, South America, Australia, Dubai, and Japan. She is set to appear in a recurring role in a highly anticipated upcoming Netflix comedy series starring Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon, set to premiere in spring 2026.
