Touring isn't always sunshine and roses — just ask Tinashe.
In conversation with Amaarae for Rolling Stone's Musicians on Musicians on Wednesday, Oct. 22, the "2 On" singer opened up about the "financial burden" of being a touring musician.
"A lot of people think that you go on tour and you make all this money, win-win," Tinashe, 32, said in a clip from the interview posted on social media."But in my experience, a lot of the tours I've gone on, I've ended up losing money because I have the vision of the creative and the things that I want to achieve."
Tinashe continued, "A lot of times, the rooms, the tickets, whatever... you don't end up getting to that place where you end up net positive. There's some level of sacrifice if you want to kind of create the vision to the degree that you want to create it."
Still, the "Nasty" singer said she has been "blessed" over the years "to be able to play bigger rooms and make more money."
"But I understand, especially new artists, it's super tough to be able to tour and to go to these places and these fans and all these different cities that want you to come, and you're like, 'You don't understand. It's really, like, I can't get there,'" she said.
Elsewhere in the conversation, Amaarae, 31, asked Tinashe if she enjoyed touring — and the "All Hands on Deck" performer said she loved it.
"But I have a really hard time doing both at once," she said. "Some people can make a project and be on tour at the same time. I feel like I have to give all my energy to the project, and then all my energy to promoting it, and then all my energy to the tour."
Meanwhile, Amaarae said, "I love to perform. I hate to tour."

"I'm a real homebody. I don't really go out even," the "Angels in Tibet" artist said, later adding, "I have a shell personality, and that's who Amaarae is. All the music that you guys hear is just my imagination of a personality."
Tinashe recently wrapped her Match My Freak: World Tour in support of her latest album Quantum Baby.
Amaarae has a four-night tour coming up called The Black Star Experience, which will kick off on Nov. 1. The run of shows are in support of her latest album Black Star, which she told PEOPLE marked "the first time I've been excited to drop an album."
"I think the music is gonna be so much fun. It's gonna be a lot of dance music. It's gonna be a lot of sexy music, and I don't know what to tell you — I'm just excited," she said in June 2025.
