The Butterfly World Tour is a worldwide concert tour held in 1998 by American pop/R&B singer singer Mariah Carey.

History

The tour was her first long-running tour compared to her previous tours, the Daydream World Tour and the Music Box Tour. Mariah claimed it was her favorite tour because it helped promote her own favorite album, " " released in 1997. During this tour, Carey visited Hawaii, Taiwan and Australia for the first time and Asia for the second time (as a concert performer).

Performance selections from the tour were released on Carey's 1999 "Around the World" DVD, although often in shortened versions.
