The Under My Spell Tour was an international concert tour from 1991-1992 by pop star Paula Abdul. MTV held a contest for its viewers to name the tour, which was almost canceled before it began because Paula injured her leg by catching her heel in a groove of the stage while rehearsing. Paula was going to have to cancel until a Chinese acupuncturist allowed her to walk again. Paula put 4 million dollars of her own money into the tour and even though she was injured the opening night went on as planned. The tour traveled all around the world including stops in Asia, North America and Europe. The tour ended up grossing over 60 million dollars.

Famous quotes containing the words spell and/or tour:
“The talk shows are stuffed full of sufferers who have regained their health—congressmen who suffered through a serious spell of boozing and skirt-chasing, White House aides who were stricken cruelly with overweening ambition, movie stars and baseball players who came down with acute cases of wanting to trash hotel rooms while under the influence of recreational drugs. Most of them have found God, or at least a publisher.”
—Calvin Trillin (b. 1935)
“Do you know I believe that [William Jennings] Bryan will force his nomination on the Democrats again. I believe he will either do this by advocating Prohibition, or else he will run on a Prohibition platform independent of the Democrats. But you will see that the year before the election he will organize a mammoth lecture tour and will make Prohibition the leading note of every address.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
