Best concert ever!
Went to the Grand Rapids show and it was amazing!
Went to the Grand Rapids show and it was amazing!
Feeling a little bit nostalgic now that the US Leg of the Lucky Me tour has ended, or at least the first leg!
Hilary Duff is that celebrity, that has never really gotten her flowers either for her acting or her singing career, she has always been successful, and she has always been well liked, but it seemed like she had never really tapped into her full potential.
While she was the blueprint for the Disney actress/tv show to pop star, I feel like others ended up having more success and being more recognized for this, like Miley or Selena. And I feel like critics and part of the general public have never really put respect on her discography. And yes, her albums were released while she and her audience were in their teenage / young adult days and some lyrics can be corny, listening to some of her old songs now, they stand the test of time I’m sorry 🤷♂️ even The Math, Anywhere But Here was always a favorite of mine, and I never thought I would listen to it live in 20206.
The cancellation of the revival of The Lizzie McGuire show felt like a slap in the face from Disney, and it made me think that maybe they had no confidence in her. The there was the fact that Breath In Breath Out wasn’t all that successful... And while I don’t care whether an album is successful or not, success will determine if she tours, how much she tours, and what the future will bring.
We now know that BIBO wasn’t really the album she wanted to make, and thankfully she at least got to meet Matthew Koma, and has a beautiful family thanks to it!
Then the buzz started! Mature did fairly well (it’s still growing on the Radio!), and her appearance as one of the Sally’s was so viral!. The public was ready to see her on stage! And yet, so many other comebacks fell through this past year, from JLo, to Megan Trainor, to the Pussycat Dolls, all of them pop stars that had gotten even more success on their music careers than Hilary, but she really cracked the code on this one, and it makes me SO happy to see that the public was ready for her this time, and that we all have shown up and showed out, as has she and her team done as well.
The world is crazy, and growing up is rough, but Hilary Duff has given me a glimmer of hope and light that things will get better, and that connecting with your inner child and with like minded people can heal you.
Sending much love to all of the other fans and stans! If you made it all the way here thank you and sorry for the weird post. I’m just happy I got to experience this “era” and got to share it with other fans, must’ve been luck… or something.
RIP
I hope she can make Adult Size Medium a single. (Hopefully Future tripping too) they will attract new fans 💗
I also hope the music video(s) could be more story-driven and more creative, like With Love or Stranger. (Check out Taylor Swift music videos)
Holiday party and You from the honeymoon are two great songs too. Optimist is good but maybe too’quiet’ for a single.
And can anyone who’s vip in the future ask her what her MBTI (myers Briggs personality type)
I should have asked all these at my vip session in Toronto but I really forgot 😂😂😂 I wish someone could ask her these questions /requests.
So whst do we call ourselves as her fans?? So fans of Taylor Swift, call themselves Swifties. Lady gaga, little monsters...
Wanted to share this because I had searched for inspo online and didn't find much. Hopefully there's others out there who will appreciate this 🥰
Finally finished my junk journal / scrapbook / whatever you want to call it spread after attending the Charlotte show earlier this month! I usually stick to real "junk" when I do my journal but I did print out some stuff I made on Canva (which took me entirely way too long but I'm not a quitter 🤭)
Would anyone else LOVE a “The Lucky Me Tour — Live Album”? 💿✨
With so many amazing songs, arrangements and moments from this tour, I really think Hilary should release an official live album — or even a live EP!
If enough fans ask for it, maybe Hilary and her team will see how much we want it. 🥹

I placed my order July 8th where it said orders were expected to ship 3-4 weeks later. It has now been 6 weeks with no update. Just wondering if anyone who preordered it has gotten it yet.
Hilary received her Canadian Gold Certification Plaque (from selling 40,000+ units in Canada) for LOS album!! Congrats, Hilary!!
How do we like the gold frame?
Deciding between gold, natural wood, or soft pink frame. Could use some input and any other idea you have.
Haven't added the butterflies, magnet, vip pass yet. Trying to figure out the frame first. And hoping to get a second poster from her show in feb.
He said the tour was such a success and she enjoyed it so much 🥹🫶🏽 he spotted me because i was wearing Hilary merch!!
99.9% of Grand Rapids fans last night were so fun, kind, patient...etc., just amazing. There were 2 girls in our row who actually belonged to the section behind us - I didn't find that out until later. They were in row F, we were in row J. They kept hopping from one row to the next and were so rude. They were a little tipsy and they both kept smacking into me. So much so, my 9-year-old got knocked over. She then was of course nervous the whole rest of the concert. The one closest to me kept stealing my seat as well. I can't sit on my daughter lol. I did eventually talk to a security guard about them pushing and bumping into me. He talked with them but then let them stay because one has a fake leg. I don't care if they weren't supposed to sit there, but why be rude the entire time? Once they knew I "told on them" one of them kept screaming in my ear purposefully, the one closest to me kept putting her camera out to film herself singing but was putting it literally in front of my face, etc. And of course, during What Dreams Are Made Of, the one furthest from me spiked the ball at me (I saw it as it was happening) and my phone literally flew 10 feet away. No biggie except I really wanted to film my daughter's reaction to hearing her absolute favorite song during the confetti part. As if that wasn't enough, when we went to leave, they were literally just standing there taking more selfies. No biggie, I asked to pass and they kept ignoring me. I had my daughter go first thinking of course they'd let a cute little kid go...nope! My daughter politely said excuse me, I politely said excuse me again, and they said they were busy. We shuffled by and I bumped one of them because we are both larger ladies and she yelled excuse me so loud that everyone turned to look at me like I was the a$$hole. This concert experience was 100% better than our failed attempt in Tinley Park, but I am left pondering why people can be so rude and cruel? We paid almost $1,000 when considering tickets, souvenirs, and hotel stay to see her in Grand Rapids. I, too, wanted and needed this millennial experience to get a break from the suffering of everyday life lol. Anyways, that's my rant. Please be kind, patient, and understanding. We all have stuff going on behind the scenes and can use grace. Anyways, the rest of you were AMAZING! Such a fun group!
Did anybody happen to get an audio recording of the soundcheck experience?? Also, to those who did the backstage tour, do you remember what they said the color of her carpet was called? I swear I blacked out during that entire experience 😂 truly the best experience of my life
Edited to add - if you were at the soundcheck and remember any details, please share! I have the worst memory and want to document everything that I do remember, would love to add whatever you all remember too 🫶🏼
I was so sad I wasn’t able to get a signed poster at the show. I can’t believe this is actually MINE! Such a special little piece of one of my favorite nights ever. 😭
Now show me yours!! I want to see everyone’s Hilary posters and how you have them framed, hung up, decorated, displayed, whatever! I know I can’t be the only one who loves seeing how other people display their Hilary stuff.
Turning 26 last month made something click. I know it is far from old, but realizing my 30s are creeping up and that I am officially closer to 30 than 21 has sent me into a deep reflection on the first half of this decade.
I do not think I have ever heard a song that so perfectly captures the specific whiplash of growing through your 20s. You look at old photos and videos from college or late nights at clubs, living completely recklessly, not caring where you slept, who you were with, or what you ate, just smiling with your whole teeth because you were having the time of your life. And suddenly you barely recognize the person staring back. It was not even that long ago, but you are already miles away from who you used to be.
The line "I remember everything and nothing at all" is so cutting. It is that exact duality of looking back at your early 20s and having certain nights etched into your brain in high definition, while others are just blurred edges softened by time or inebriation.
I know this is a long, probably overly sentimental take, but this song is so lyrically touching to me. It captures a fleeting era I am slowly growing out of, and I feel both terrified and ready to let it go.
First off, does anyone know what photoshoot this was for or who the photographer is that took it? I’m attempting to find the belt and AI is useless! I can recreate the rest of the look cheaply and easily, but that belt… I’d wear it all the time!!!! I can’t seem to find the stylist at the time, or a brand. Can anyone help an OG? Most of my posts go unnoticed. I wish Casey Fitzsimons was on this website!
I made it on capcut so it might not look very professional lol
Appreciate all feedback!
it was so surreal finally seeing her in person. I LOVED Lizzie McGuire as a kid, and still own (and listen to) my original Metamorphosis cd and love so many of her other albums. I got to finally see her live last night with my long time best friend and the post-concert depression is REAL!! We truly did get to wake up on a Saturday night 🫶🏻 wish I could re-live it over and over!
