Pop powerhouse and queer icon Reneé Rapp is hitting pause on the final stretch of her Bite Me Tour after falling ill, telling fans she’s been ordered by doctors to rest her voice and recover physically.
On Sunday, Oct. 26, the Mean Girls star took to her Instagram Stories to break the news that her last two U.S. tour stops, scheduled for Oct. 26 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta and Oct. 27 at the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida, would be postponed.
“In my career I have never had to do this before — but I have to reschedule tonight and tomorrow’s shows,” Rapp, 25, wrote. “I’ve been pushing through an illness, but my body has finally given out. My doctors have told me that it isn’t safe to perform due to the need for vocal rest and physical recovery.”
The singer assured fans that both shows have already been rescheduled, with Tampa now set for Nov. 4 and Atlanta for Nov. 5. All original tickets will remain valid for the new dates. Rapp also confirmed she still plans to perform at her Charlotte, N.C. concert on Wednesday, Oct. 29, at the Spectrum Center.
“I truly appreciate how much time, planning and preparation goes into coming to a show,” she wrote. “I can’t describe to you how sorry I am to have to move things around. I love you all and I will see you soon.”
The announcement comes near the end of Rapp’s high-energy Bite Me Tour, which has showcased her raw vocals, unapologetic attitude, and sharp humor, all trademarks that have made her a standout voice in queer pop culture. The tour supports her sophomore album Bite Me, released in August, and features opening acts Syd and Ravyn Lenae.
Following her remaining U.S. performances, Rapp will take her show across the Atlantic for a European leg kicking off March 11, 2026, at Lotto Arena in Antwerp, Belgium. The run will wrap March 22 at Dublin’s 3Arena.
Fans flooded social media with messages of support and concern, emphasizing how Rapp’s honesty about her health reinforces her authenticity. For many LGBTQ+ listeners who’ve embraced her fierce vulnerability and candid storytelling, her words hit home: even icons need rest.
