LOUISE CARVER ANNOUNCES NATIONWIDE ‘CRUSH ON YOU’ TOUR THIS SEPTEMBER – DRIVEN BY JEEP
Award-winning singer-songwriter Louise Carver is taking her latest hit single ‘Crush On You’ on the road this September with a nationwide tour driven by Jeep. The ‘Crush On You’ Tour will see Carver perform across seven enchanting venues in four provinces, offering fans a personal and heartfelt musical experience in some of the country’s most beautiful settings.
The tour follows hot on the heels of her feel-good, retro-infused single ‘Crush On You’, currently climbing the national radio charts. Accompanied by a vibrant, nostalgic music video, the track marks a confident return for the artist after her 2023 SAMA win for Best Adult Contemporary Album (Dark Secrets).
“‘Crush On You’ was inspired by that electric feeling of infatuation—the butterflies, the magnetic pull, the sense of possibility,” says Carver. “I wanted to bottle that emotion into a song that felt sexy, fun, and light-hearted — with a touch of vintage disco shimmer.”

The music video, which launched alongside the single, brings this vision to life with bold retro fashion, playful visuals, and one of only two pink Jeeps in the country, thanks to Jeep South Africa. “We had such fun making it. I hope the video reminds people of the magic of crushes—past, present, and those still to come,” says Carver.
Audiences can now experience the magic live and tickets are available via www.louisecarver.com.
