Troye Sivan - Suburbia Tour
Date: November 12, 2016
Venue: Agganis Arena
Number of posts I got through on this blog before I undermined the entire premise: three (oopth). The tickets to this show were a birthday present & thus, I wasnāt flying solo this time
Number of pride flags I counted:Ā 7 full-sized ones, a handful of mini flags, and a wide selection of rainbow t-shirts
Number of parents of the performer present, singing their hearts out in the middle of the floor: two
Most 2016 moment: we collectively, as an arena, did the Mannequin Challenge, which was super goofy & dumb & lovely
Songs that tested the waterproof strength of my mascara: I managed to get through Heaven & Talk Me Down with some waterworks, but minimal streaks...and then for him. came along and had me wiping away blackened tears
Number of fake out beat drops: three, with each becoming more frustrating than the last
Number of times Troye swore after telling the crowd he didnāt really like swearing on stage and only did itĀ āwhen he had toā: at the very least 15Ā
Best moment: my mid-encore realization that I was in an arena surrounded by strangers, where it seemed like each & every person was having the same transcendent experience that I wasĀ
In the moment feels: indescribableĀ
Overall rating: ā¤ļøšššš/5, if for nothing but the steel drum remix of Fools, but also for the fact that I hurt from dancing in leg muscles I didnāt know I hadĀ
