The '''Total Request Live Tour'''<ref>{{cite web |url=http://qctimes.com/lifestyles/recreation/destiny-s-child-to-headline-mtv-trl-summer-tour/article_50d30d48-0c75-50ac-9017-108a0189499e.html |title=Destiny's Child to headline MTV TRL' summer tour  |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |date=May 3, 2001 |website=[[Quad-City Times]] |publisher=[[Lee Enterprises]] |access-date=January 31, 2016}}</ref> (also known as '''MTV's TRL Tour''') was a co-headlining tour featuring American groups, [[3LW]], [[Destiny's Child]], [[Dream (American group)|Dream]], [[St. Lunatics]] and American artists [[Eve (rapper)|Eve]] and [[Nelly]]. [[Jessica Simpson]] joined the tour for select dates before venturing off to her own [[Irresistible (Jessica Simpson album)#DreamChaser Tour|solo tour]]. Her slot was later taken by [[City High]].

The tour ran during the summer of 2001, playing over 30 shows in the United States and Canada. Many dates were cancelled as an outcome of the [[September 11 attacks|9/11 attacks]]. This was the first and only edition of the tour.

==Background==
MTV first positioned a concert series, featuring various acts performing in major markets throughout the U.S.. The idea was to take big names popular on the network and up and coming acts exposure to an arena-sized audience. In 1999, [[TLC (group)|TLC]], [[Backstreet Boys]], [[Britney Spears]] were rumored to perform together on an MTV-sponsored tour. However, these plans were never confirmed or denied by MTV.

Destiny's Child served as the headlining act. Newcomers 3LW and Dream were featured alongside Jessica Simpson, Eve and Nelly with the St. Lunatics. Simpson's final show was on August 4, 2001. City High was brought in as a replacement on August 9.

The show followed the TRL format, and featured [[Solange Knowles]] as the host and [[Master of ceremonies|emcee]]. TRL host [[Carson Daly]] was also featured via video screens to introduce the show. In-between acts, music videos and paid advertisements would play on the video screens.

The tour initially was set for nearly 50 shows in the U.S. and Canada. After the 9/11 attacks, several dates were cancelled as a response to security risks for flying. Thus, the last show of the tour was in Denver, Colorado. A special show was planned to honor the victims of the 9/11 attacks,  and one of the cancelled shows in Honolulu was reversed.<ref name="honolulu">{{cite web |url=http://archives.starbulletin.com/2001/09/21/features/story4.html |title=Destiny's Child salvages concert |last1=Chun |first1=Gary C.W. |date=September 21, 2001 |website=[[Honolulu Star-Advertiser]] |publisher=[[Black Press|Black Press Group Ltd.]] |access-date=January 31, 2016}}</ref> The special show featured Forté and DisGuyz as opening acts and Destiny's Child as the sole headliner.

Due to strong sales, it was believed the tour would formulate into an annual event. A 2002 tour was penciled yet cancelled before any plans were made.
