Interesting Facts
- The original working title of this tour was “Babylonian Whore World Tour”. Some believe that the record company of Madonna asked her to change the name of the tour, considering this too scandalous to use. Therefore, the name “Re-Invention World Tour” was born.
- Former backing vocalist Nicky Harris, who has been working with Madonna since the 1987 Who's That Girl World Tour , has been replaced by Sida Garrett. She has already worked with Madonna as a backing vocalist on True Blue (1986). Sida became known for a duet with Michael Jackson in his song “I Just Can't Stop Loving You” (album “Bad”). She also wrote one of Michael Jackson’s hits, “Man In TheMirror,” and participated as a backing vocalist on his Dangerous World tour (1992-1993).
- The tour was recognized as the most successful world tour of 2004, raising revenue of $ 124.5 million. During the tour, Madonna visited 7 countries, 20 cities, played 56 shows, bringing together about 880,000 fans. Madonna: “In the creative sense, it was my most successful experience so far. Music, films, dances - everything that I love, I managed to combine in one program. "
- During concerts, Madonna often appeared in T-shirts from the series “... do it better” (For example, “The Italians do it better”, “The British do it better”). Also at concerts in the US, she appeared in the Vote or Die T-shirt, dedicated to the upcoming US Presidential elections in November 2004.
- The logo of the tour is Giovanni Bianco. The logo was created based on the mystical teachings of Kabbalah . In particular, the logo is 13 circles. 13 is a lucky number in Kabbalah and has already been used by Madonna in her work since she began to get involved in mystical teachings in the late 90s.
