Aguilera performed "What a Girl Wants" during the Back to Basics Tour (2006–07).

American singer-songwriter Christina Aguilera has embarked on four concert tours, three of which have been worldwide. Her debut tour, Christina Aguilera in Concert was held in North America in 2000,[1] and later it was extended to South America and Asia in 2001.[2] During the promotion of Stripped in 2003, Aguilera toured with Justin Timberlake in North America with the Justified and Stripped Tour in 45 dates. The tour was the sixteenth highest-grossing tour of the year, with $30 million grossed.[3] In late 2003, Aguilera continued to tour alone without Timberlakes' act in Europe, Japan and Australia.[4][5] In 2004, Aguilera was expected to return to North America in the summer of 2004, however, 29 dates were canceled due to Aguilera's vocal cord injuries.[6]

In 2006, Aguilera's fourth concert tour Back to Basics Tour was held in support of her fifth studio album Back to Basics (2006). The tour grossed over $48.2 million,[7] with $48.1 million in 2007 alone, becoming the highest-grossing tour of the year by a female artist.[8] In 2010, Aguilera planned to tour in the summer to promote Bionic, but her management team revealed that the tour was cancelled due to Aguilera's promotion for her first feature film, Burlesque (2010).[9] Aguilera reported that she would reschedule the tour in 2011, however it was never done.[9] Besides touring, Aguilera also made several notable live performances, including at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards,[10] the 2007 Grammy Awards,[11] and the Super Bowl XLV (2011).[12]
