The Dreamettes: Live on Tour (2014)
The Dreamettes: Live on Tour was the debut headlining concert tour that the Dreamettes did, in support of the soundtrack for their Fun4Reelz original movie. It reached a number of concert halls in the United States, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Spain, and Japan. Their manager Frank Jensen (born April 2, 1963), who is also Kimberly Jensen's father, traveled with them throughout the tour.

Background and development
The tour was announced in September 2013. Tickets went on sale in early November of that year. Each show started between 5:00 and 6:15 in the evening.

Through mid-July 2014, the group temporarily stepped away from the tour so they could film the music video for their cover of "I Belong", which is heard in the soundtrack for Debutante League 2. The video was filmed in a secret location near Vienna, Austria. The group resumed the tour in August with stops in Japan, for which they finally premiered "I Belong".

Reaction
In reviewing the concert at Tampa's Ferguson Hall, a member of the Tampa Bay Times wrote: "If you ever wondered how an up-and-coming girl group would take Florida by storm for first time, then you got the answer Thursday evening…well-choreographed hand-and-body movements during their songs in the set list, loads of charisma, and perfect harmonies. Too bad I wasn't able to watch the footage." The Dreamettes received further warm reviews on the tour.

Reaction
Lee Young-man, writing for The Korea Herald said: "The burden of being young pop star sensations, one hell of a phenomenon. People of all ages pay a lot to see these talented young ladies get on stage and perform these new songs from the discography. But even now fans wonder if you really comprehend your life; if you shouldn't be [stuck at] home…eating bulgogi instead of in South Korea for the first time…And yet the audience goes wild, yet again, as each song finishes!"
