"She has been on three tours. We haven't had a break, and I think this is the time to just inhale each other and go for a vacation in December or something," she added. "[We could] pop in and out because I think we should do some of the stuff. That'd be fun. We'll do a few weeks here and there."
Ballas wasn't mentioned in the tour announcement, leading some fans to assume he would be sitting it out.
