tour/concerts 🎤

hi i'm going to LA night 2 and have been binging all of lily's concert videos with my girls. with all the watching i have been seeing a few things pop up in terms of call and response participation from the audience, what people are trading...things i just want to give my daughters a heads up about so they're prepared! what are all the audience traditions so far? should i bring headphones for them, is it loud? please enlighten an excited momma!

I just went to Chicago omg you're all going to have a BLAST. There's so many playlists with the set list also you can study to really make sure you know it all, though sometimes she'll flip a song or two in and out - has anyone figured out this pattern? anyway here's what I know / saw:

1. all the girls are wearing candy jewelry bc bittersweet. i saw someone make a jolly rancher one which was so cool, but have seen a ton of different styles like chokers, stacks, gummy, etc. these really aren't being traded bc allergies and like, sticky, but they're so fun to look at! also a lot of black hair bows bc of that line in the exchange: "dark like the ribbon caught in my hair"

2. friendship bracelets! obviously the baylor trend has breached containment, but these are the big trades. lily also goes between a stage A and stage B and will always take a few from fans if you're on the floor!

3. the exchange: bc i already mentioned it, but audience yells UNFAIR during the same line - "dark like the ribbon caught in my hair, soft in your stare - untangled, unfair!"

4. kick the dust up: her opening song, audience claps their hands twice after "we look up and they've turned on the lights."

5. tea time: she does a sipping tea gesture everyone copies after the first chorus - only the first though

6. 4:43: just be ready to scream cry - she got really choked up singing this minneapolis night 1, who knows how LA will go but the bridge gets SO loud (btw don't think they need headphones it's not a super bass heavy show?)

7. oh.OH: she changes stages here! will grab a ton of bracelets, beware of anyone trying to throw them down!

8. on the fire escape: everyone uses their phone lights to mimic the stars!

9. IKY: audience sings back "I KNOW YOU" every time she sings I K Y

10. coming home: she'll put on a cute jacket covered in pins from the city she's in! fans wear a lot of pins too, almost forgot that one.

11. limerence and holy smokes: her encore songs! don't panic if she leaves because she comes back to do these.

someone will fill in if i missed anything but i think i got them all! she does a good job of moving around the stages and interacting with fans if they're close - she runs around barefoot, it's so cute and she's so gorgeous and fun. you can tell she's having a good time and wants the fans to experience the same!

itsthesamewithatart    you have done god's work, ma'am. may your pillows always be cold.

forbiddenforester    ALSO the songs she's swapped in and out have been repeat after me, any day now and petty things, all after lip service. i think it's just how she's feeling that day maybe?

lilmccarthysummer247    i was at that minny show and omg - i wouldn't wish that kind of pain on most people but was also such a human experience i will cherish forever. i still wonder what happened!!

ceesee1009    oh come on, we all know who happened

lilmccarthysummer247    here we go again...
