Ciara 'Excited' About Jay-Z Tour

Ciara says she is excited about joining Jay-Z on the road, as a special guest for his mini tour.

The rapper and R&B beauty will be performing five shows together in July, beginning with a 2-night stint in Las Vegas.

"It's [going to be] something fun, and I think it's gonna be cool." Ciara told MTV News.

"I've kind of been in the rap settings before, so those are environments I love, 'cause it's somewhat of a challenge - but a fun one."

Speaking of what plans she has for her performance, the 'Love Sex Magic' star explains: "I love mixing the worlds together," and adding that it's "all about the range."

Following these dates, Ciara is then heading out to Europe where she'll support another big-name performer - Britney Spears.
