How could we ever talk about YFTHM when TMTWH exists?

Every song is dead to me until that takes off

That song is the worst song on the album. Adult Size Medium is the only other song that deserves single treatment from the second half of the album.

She said she can't wait to fully start working on a new album and that it's most likely still going to be within the LOS lane. However, she said it's been challenging to write as she basically poured the last 15 years of her life (probably forgot about BIBO lol) into these lyrics and she's still figuring out what she'll write about.

I hope the writing process is a "good" type of challenge where she ends up exploring more topics she hasn't before, rather than getting stuck creatively. It does make sense given how deeply personal luck...was and how it covered so much ground over so many years. I trust her and Matt to cook up another classic (but please give us some droplets in the meantime)

Had soundcheck today. I got to talk to Hilary!!

I asked her if she'd consider performing The Getaway and she said not tonight, but we should keep an eye out for future shows. Said that she needed to save some tracks for upcoming shows and legs. She also complimented my shirt after I said "please, this t-shirt is begging for it" (it was an old school HD Fly single shirt) and said "ahhh you're so cute for saying that" she's such a sweetheart! I wish I could've recorded our interaction, but they were super strict about the "no phones" policy. I also told her we'd do the talking part for her and she smiled and laughed. She was like "okay!".

Then we had her flip the coin between Stranger and Tattoo as the crowd was super divided (I wanted Tattoo). Hilary wanted to do both but her musical director was like "nope". Stranger won, but it sounded amazing live!

She said she can't wait to fully start working on a new album and that it's most likely still going to be within the LOS lane. However, she said it's been challenging to write as she basically poured the last 15 years of her life (probably forgot about BIBO lol) into these lyrics and she's still figuring out what she'll write about. She also mentioned she can't imagine anyone else producing her music than Matthew now, so we can assume she'll stick to him, at least for now. I'm personally fine with that.

It was a great experience overall!! You get to actually ask her questions and talk to her. Due to time constrains, she can't talk to every single person, but she answered between 5 or 6 questions from the crowd in total. I'd highly recommend doing it, it's super intimate and feels like you're talking to a friend.

Not too optimistic about the photo though, as I wasn't even in the barricade for soundcheck, but I'm just happy I got to interact with her!

Great bit of info here! So a deluxe sounds more and more likely since we know she has recorded recently.

I'm ok with her starting the writing process during her upcoming two-month break.

Isn't meeting her and talking to her just the best, well at least it was for me cause I had never meet her before and she's just everything I dreamed of after years of seeing her live but never meeting her, you know?

I think it's really good that she's excited to getting a more serious and finish the new album and I'm so happy that you asked her about The Getaway and had a good time!

I actually think the countdown is definitely more dates (maybe some cities in Europe and judging by the Billboard post on instagram, Brazil and Argentina too it seems like.

But hopefully it's not just dates, but the Delucks, the docuseries and Catastrophe, as well!

Oh, and the person behind the disco ball IG is Matthew, I don't think anyone would EVER tell us the truth, but his brother is always leaving comments on the posts and the way the "disco ball" talks is very Matt 😂

I know that, someone made a post in here about her maybe possibly attending the Grammys and doing things like that (I don't think it was serious at all), I wish she was attending and hate that she has a show on that day.

I'm sure it will be heavy themed again and She will write it just fine.

Last night's show was magical again.

Seeing Hilary perform to a sold out arena is just heartwarming to see. And the show is also just so good.

I'm happy I got to experience the show from the seated section now too.

It was such a nice surprise when Party Up started playing during the 'Wine o'Clock' segment. Of course I jammed and sang along, and people around me were definitely wondering what song it was. Except for one iconic girlie who was singing along too. I see you girl!

The London crowd made Hilary down a full glass of Pimm's. Bless her!

There definitely seem to be a lot more dates coming in 2027. She teased another US leg towards the end of the US shows, and there's definitely European shows coming. I've heard Amsterdam, Paris and Madrid are amongst the shows to get announced?

It would be amazing to see her go to Brazil too. They deserve it!

I met such a nice fan from Spain. We talked a lot before and after the show. Truly special to make new friends and already having such a close bond being life long Hilary fans.

I'm super excited for the new dates, especially if she's touring Europe (and not UK).

Of course I would love to get new music, but I'd rather prefer they to focus on tour and Catastrophe as of now.

I mean, I love this album, but I don't want another variant with 2 songs that won't be even pushed as singles, because I hardly doubt Atlantic would invest when probably a lot of Warner budget seems to be on Cat in a Hat and its soundtrack.

So, I'll take the deluxe if Catastrophe is both the new single for the deluxe and the soundtrack, otherwise I'm okay with the tour dates only

Edited September 16Sep 16 by ReachOut

I wonder how long the second leg will be since pretty ugly is no longer happening

I hope the venues are indoors I nearly passed out doing two shows in Florida lol when it's extremely hot and humid here in the summer even though the show was at night

I think catastrophes will probably be a stand alone single

I think it will be promoted similar to Taylor swift Toy Story song

It will probably get its own 7 in vinyl separate from the album with cat in the hat artwork

Sounds an amazing experience! lucky you! I'm glad she might consider doing the getaway in future shows.

Did you get to stay standing at the barrier after sound check? or did you have to go back to your seat?

Ok, so this was tricky. Apparently, after the Dublin, Cardiff and Manchester shows, people with Mature Early Entry started complaining about letting Soundcheck passholders in before them, so the O2 venue was more fair this time and made us all go in at the same time.

Some of us had Soundcheck + Golden Circle or VIP Mature, so they honored that as well. In the end, we arrived to the barricade a few seconds before the Early Entry holders.

I also had Mature Early Entry for Dublin and the organization kind of did whatever they wanted and let all the soundcheck holders stay in the venue. This time, it was a lot more organized and I'd say fair.

I think Hilary needs to re-arrange the experiences, as the conflict will remain otherwise. I'd say she does a smaller Soundcheck experience of 50 ppl or less (which could open the doors to individual pics), and then let the Early Entry holders in. They will still get either barricade on the left or right side or second row in the middle, which is still a great spot. IDK, either that or merge the Soundcheck and Mature Early Entry into a single package, but that would make the Soundcheck experience less intimate as there could easily be 250+ people per date.

Also! Possible docu tidbit:

They interviewed me and about five more fans right before her set and they made the first group sign what seemed to be NDAs and we were asked to say our names and that we authorized the use of our image for whatever purpose it was for.

We basically had to talk about how we became fans, what Hilary meant to us and what song we resonated with the most off of LOS.

I didn't get to sign any papers, since they said they had to hurry up and needed our consent in video form to make it faster, but I wonder if it could be for the documentary!

Guess we'll have to wait and see.

This sounds like the docuseries! You really maximized your entire experience, I love it

The engagement on this post with all the fans from all these different countries is so impressive, she is so internationally beloved it's such a beautiful thing to see.

I think this next run of shows will be really special and reaffirm her global superstardom after all these years

I had EE Mature package for dublin and I was quite dissapointed that they allowed soundcheck to stay when everyone had an assigned seat.

I felt sorry for people who were queueing since 9am. I got there at 1:30 and it was long enough. Luckily I got left barrier of the stage and I only had General admission people 2 rows back from me.. They need to be more organised as the venues seem to be doing what they want and making their own rules..

It's making me conflicted of what package to get for the next leg for the new UK dates for London. I'm thinking of soundcheck package now.

Edited September 16Sep 16 by Plasticdoll

It's probably more European dates, I wouldn't expect a second US leg yet why wouldn't they show that countdown at the end of US but they did it at the London show.

No way it will go 50 and smaller. There will be a lot of upset and pissed off fans. She is So popular again, they would have to keep them bigger to satisfy their quota. The label is So greedy. They don't care what the fans want. Remember, they loved the Aperol sponsors more and allowed one on one time to speak and hang with her.

It could start there and maybe that's why they did it there, idk but didn't someone on here said that HD told the Netherlands fans that she was going to Paris and other city (I can't remember which one, sorry), next?

Yeah, I definitely think she'll visit the UK again and then France and Brazil!

Either way that freaking countdown is driving me crazy and I can't stop thinking about it...

If I were to ever rule the world, I wouldn't let her do any more countdowns after all we've gone through lol.

Edit: I just saw that she was spotted in Naples so, good for our Queen, she really deserves it!

Here's the pic

Something that grates me and it's not Hilarys fault, but Influencers are getting a personal 1-1 meet and greet before Hilary's show because of Aperol spritz sponsor.. but fans who pay 500+ for soundcheck+backstage aren't getting any of that?

Does that not rub anyone the wrong way? I've seen countless of influencers who met Hilary at her London show 1-1 and have likely paid nothing.
