The crowd, vibrant in bright colors reminiscent of her early career, echoed her sentiment, creating a lively atmosphere.
“Honestly, [the tour’s] just been joyful and fun and extremely rewarding,” Duff told The Hollywood Reporter. This sentiment resonated throughout the evening, as she performed a mix of her classic hits and new tracks from her album Luck… or Something.
Balancing Old and New Music
To engage both new and longtime fans, Duff opened the show with her 2005 hit “Wake Up” and early favorite “So Yesterday.” “The first new song that I sing is ‘Roommates,’ and I feel like that one really goes off,” she noted, highlighting the crowd's enthusiasm for her latest work.
