She says that she likes to speak and engage with her fans but isn’t as interested in social media such as Facebook or Twitter. In order to prove her point about communicating on a one-on-one level directly with her fans; Banks gave out her cell phone number on her management’s official Facebook page for the singer. She says that she receives mostly text messages from fans who she says are ‘too shy’ to speak to her on the phone and that the people who do call only want to speak to her about her music and how much they appreciate her as an artist. After finishing a tour with ‘The Weeknd’, she announced her own tour which is scheduled to begin in the United Kingdom in March 2014.
