McDonald's later announced they will sponsor a tour for Timberlake, following his successful North American tour with Christina Aguilera.[2] Timberlake stated, "I love what McDonald's is doing with the new 'i'm lovin' it' campaign and it's cool to be part of it [...] We share the same crowd -- people who like to have fun -- and that's what this new partnership and my European concert tour is all about."
