Omggggg, THE WAY WE ARE WINNING. I'll scream at the top of my lungs if she performs The Getaway. I'll do the spoken part any day lol.

I love TMTWH, and I wouldn't mind if she swapped You, From The Honeymoon every now and then, even though it's one of my favorites. But TMTWH is SO relatable, just like Holiday Party. I really need some changes to the setlist, though. As exciting as the tour is, it's gotten a bit boring knowing it's the exact same show every night. I wouldn't be complaining if she played 24 songs and it included all of our favorites, but there is room for improvement, and there's definitely room for surprise songs. We need to hear The Getaway, Stranger, AAY, Tattoo, SWOM, and a surprise thrown into the mix every now and then. She needs to keep the momentum alive, and the best way to do it is to have people guessing what trick she's got up her sleeve for the night. Imagine if all of a sudden we hear, "Everyone knows that I'm ten feet under, till you come along and brighten my day." I'd sh#t my pants lol. She's doing GREAT, and really putting a lot of effort into singing live. I can see it more and more, date after date, how much her actual voice shines through compared to the SRBN shows. Also, I would LOVE to see her with straight hair again. I love the waves, but she needs to change it up every now and then. Hell, why not put on the clip-on Lizzie reboot bangs every now and then? LOL. We need more variety in that regard as well.

Ugh I saw them too. We've only had three albums in the last 20 years. Break is NOT something we want. We need at least another album in the next couple of years. Hopefully she no longer uses Twitter lol.

Maybe they're filming for the docu series? I'm not giving up on that yet lol

I'm so happy we're witnessing what her actual live singing sounds like after so many years. We got small hints in the Most Wanted Tour, the AAY and Tattoo live performances, but her voice seemed a lot more cracked and fragile during 2014. She sounds so full and strong now! She's belting those notes! We can FINALLY say she can actually sing and it wasn't all just a show all those years ago. I'm such a proud fan, little me would be so happy to hear this

Solid point. But it is frustrating regardless lol. I am still wondering why Hilary confirmed there would be M&Gs when all you get is a group photo with her on the stage. I wish there had been a higher-tier pass with Soundcheck+ individual photo. I guess something related to logistics, or the fact that M&Gs are not a thing anymore like they were 12 or 13 years ago. Excited to see some changes on the setlist. I'm guessing it'll happen after the 10th show, where she adds AAY and maybe Tattoo. Also, Anywhere But Here, you're cute, but it's time to let a real classic like The Getaway take your place.

Why on earth won't they allow fans to record videos during soundcheck? I can't think of a good reason for it. I bought the Soundcheck pass, but I'm beginning to wonder if it's even worth it. Of course I'd love to hear Tattoo and AAY, but I'd also love to be able to record them and keep them for myself, rather than have the memory eventually fade. Maybe things will be different in Europe and they'll let us record? I mean, we're not even getting early entry to the venue, we're assigned random seats that will be far from the stage. I'm glad I'm attending another show with Early Entry, but I'm starting to regret buying the Soundcheck package.

We used to pray for times like this! It seemed like something impossible to witness back in the 00s. I want to believe it's 100% live, maybe she's still singing over a pre-recorded live, but it's so convincing I choose to believe lol

I love the harness straps on the dress. I think it also gives it that rock-ish twist that is great for songs like Fly, Growing Up and ABH. I would love to see a black variation of her outfits too. Hopefully there's more variety in the coming dates.

Her PJ outfit of Night 2 with the AOL logo on the back is as millennial as you can get, and I LOVE HER FOR THAT!

She soundchecked Tattoo last night!

WDAMO was never really her song to begin with, and I don't think it's a quintessential song in her catalogue, to be honest. Younger Hilary would've never wanted to perform it. Now, it's more about nostalgia than anything else. It's a chance to wrap up a long-awaited comeback and bring things full circle to where it all began. It also fits the bubbly, light-hearted tone of this show. It would've never made sense on the Most Wanted or Dignity tours. Does it work for this tour? Absolutely. Should it be performed on future tours? Probably not. Once this era is over, I think it should be retired again and left as a special moment tied to this particular comeback.

I did say young 🤣 And yes to that! The Mature MV outfit was goals! And this came to mind as well

I love her outfits overall, and I think most of them fit each act really well. My only criticism is that the styling sometimes leans a little too much into "woman in her 60s playing yacht rock" rather than a 38-year-old pop-rock artist. It's giving young granny energy. I'd love to see more youthful, playful pieces mixed in. The encore outfits are perfect for Mature and WDAMO, and the jeans/cargo looks in the first act work great too. But I'd love to see more skirts, shorts, fitted tank tops, leather jackets, and honestly… more black. A lot of the wardrobe is very bubbly, sparkly, and shiny, which sometimes feels disconnected from parts of her catalog and overall musical identity. I'd love to see her lean into some edgier looks that better complement the pop-rock side of her music. I'm not saying she needs to dress like a teenager, but something closer to what Ashley Simpson has been doing in her recent Vegas shows would be a great middle ground: age-appropriate, stylish, modern, and still a little rock-and-roll. Even the Dignity tour, her most dancey-electronic era, has a lot of that edginess seamlessly blended in. I would like more of that back.

Ugh, hate that. Same thing she did with SWOM/BIBO. For her, it's either playing BIBO or SWOM. Girl, we want both!
