New U.S. Dates For Christina Perri

Singer-songwriter Christina Perri has had a busy Valentine’s Day so far. In addition to performing on “Live! with Kelly” and hosting a livestream on TheDailyLove.com, today she announced dates for her 2012 U.S. headline tour.

Oh, and Perri also shared her Valentine’s Day playlist on AOL.com with tunes from the Beatles, Elton John, Billy Joel, Bright Eyes, Coldplay, Adele and St. Vincent.

But back to those new tour dates. The spring shows mark the latest leg of Perri’s tour in support of her debut album, Lovestrong. The album, which was released in May 2011, includes the singles “Jar Of Hearts” and “Arms.”

Her latest single, “A Thousand Years,” is included on “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1” soundtrack.
