I wrote a thread on Twitter explaining my experience since everyone is confused about what happened in #LTWTParis2 so I thought I could post about it here too 🤍
The night was amazing but there's also some drama so take a seat 🍿
I'll start mentioning that I'm spanish because that’s important for some parts of this story.
We all know that even if camping in the queue is not allowed people do it, so even if I was not in the first groups my Spanish friends were there. They started having issues with some French fans in the queue and even got some xenophobic comments, which, really? Was that necessary? Even the security from the venue told my friends "only french" when they wanted to communicate with them when they also knew English 😣
Anyway, the weather was cold so after waiting for hours outside, when we went inside the venue it got heated up pretty quickly. They gave us water and everyone made sure to hand the bottles for the people in the back, which was great since they usually stay in the first rows! It’s true that we went inside L'Olympia before we were supposed to, but I think everyone was happy about it since the wind was horrible outside.
Thus, Only The Poets also started their set earlier and honestly they smashed it! It was so good! It was then, during one of their songs that people started pushing forward and they had to carry the first girl out. Louis’ security team came out as soon as OTP left the stage and started telling everyone to step back (and gave us more water).
While we were waiting for Louis the energy was great, there were 2 girls with cardboard cutouts of Louis and everytime they put them in the air we screamed like little kids lol 😆 but then some of my Spanish friends waved their spanish flags and the french fans started singing their national anthem. Seriously? Are you that pressed? Let the people enjoy.
Then THE CURTAIN DROPPED and Paris was LOUD. Even Louis told us that they played there last night, "and it was unbelievable, but these first two songs already, I can feel your energy in here tonight" And then thanked us for being there ❤ I dont know why people started saying he was sad, look at him! He was so smiley and interacting a lot with everyone. There was a young fan and a grandma in the balcony and Louis made sure to wave at them. He made sure the kid saw him saying hello 🥰
The way we screamed "Larry call a load of smoke in” and the Princess Park line 🤩 istg Paris was full of larries! A girl next to me asked me if I was a larrie before Habit and when I said yes she was so excited and told me “thank god because I’m going to scream like crazy”.
I wrote this in my tweet, but I find it interesting that before and after the Princess Park line, the crowd is dark but when we scream it (he knows we're going to do it) the venue lights up! 👀
Shout out to these fans 💖 their signs were so cute they made me smile. "You are my hope" & "You make this world brighter"
The only moment that I saw Louis more serious was when a girl fainted when Walls started. It's something serious and he's not going to be happy about it because he actually cares about us. He even told the staff "fast please" but I won't share the video to respect the fan.
But hey the rest of the night was amazing and from his face I can tell you he was definitely happy!! He did sing COACOAC and LBD (people were saying that he didn't) but the only one he skipped was JHO 🥲
Flags weren't allowed inside but some fans snuck in a few and only waved during Only The Brave 🏳️🌈
Special mention to my friend Amy, who wrote in a sign that Spain is going to win the World Cup and Louis did the slit throat gesture to her 🇪🇦😂 This Man has too much faith in the English team.
The exit song was "We Are The Champions" and the vibe of the crowd was incredible once again!
On another note, I also met Tommy ❤ When the show ended I was going to my hotel and I noticed that its door was in front of the backdoor of L'Olympia and that he was there! I told him that I saw OTP in Barcelona when Louis was there and that I loved seeing the support they got in the past years and how much they grew, he was so cute and thankful for it.
Tommy also told us that they (only the poets) bought the supreme t-shirt for louis 🥰 He said it was really hard to get because it was like an exclusive thing and they had to wait for the drop (now you know how ticket sales makes us feel) and that louis was so happy with it!
Oh and I also got this huge poster after the show 😂
Long story short, Louis looked amazing with both outfits (I'm glad he changed because it was so hot and we were all sweating lol), he sounded amazing and even better with such a loud crowd, and he smiled a lot which is the most important thing. He felt the love ❤
