[@seraphile5720]

Exactly 😭😭

[@TheSadiemagic]

I’ve been a fan of Sabrina since her girl meets world days and tbh I was only really a fan of her acting stuff I never really listened to her music but when eics came out I gave it a shot and started listening to that and then a few months later I listened to singular act 1 and 2 and loved those too where I live she announced a tour and I thought you know what I’ll give it a shot, she announced January 2023 that she was coming and I thought that I would be able to get tickets because she still wasn’t that big but when I went to go get the tickets at the time they were released I was about 1 second too late and they had sold out and I know it’s not my fault I didn’t get tickets I tried but I’ll kick my self for as long as I’m alive that I couldn’t get tickets at that time cause I’ll probably never see a full concert of hers live, I say that cause I’m going to the capital summertime ball and she’s there but I’d still love to see a single concert of just her

I saw Gracie’s smallest ever concert in Cleveland in 2021 and her largest venue ever in Madrid. Both were amazing but the small, 200 person concert was truly life changing and encapsulated the intimacy of her music that a big venue couldn’t.

[@wadadaqueen]

That's so cool! I just went to the one in Madrid and it was so good omg

[@jasoninthea.m7471]

This is why I (even though I've never been to one) say that I'd rather go to a more calmer concert/live performance in a cafe/restaurant or something, because a smaller venue, less screamy fans, less phones recording 24/7 blocking the view and a more peaceful experience of actually hearing the artist.

[@eeveephonehome]

i had this with billie eilish. good times

[@krelium2717]

according to this video, she had 4,5m monthly listeners at the time. that is NOT “small” or “undiscovered” at all, you just want to believe you were part of something when you infact, were not.

[@mishelle5115]

​@@krelium2717 i think they implied that the concert itself was more smaller than the current ones and again, comparing to her like 26M listeners rn, 4.5-5 M listeners is smaller :]

Saw BTS in 2015 in Toronto since my friends were into K-pop. Had to begin by lining up so they would one by one sign their autographs on a poster for each of us with this ticket level. Saw them perform on stage from the third row, making eye contact here and there. Got to get high fives with the members right after they performed and were still catching their breaths. Then once they changed, got to take a group photo with about 20 others. Was right next to Jimin, who scared me and the girl next to me when he stuck his head over our shoulders lol and apologized when we jumped. At the time, thought this was a really fun experience overall. Now almost a decade later, they took over North America and the wider world, with the rise beginning in 2016-2017. Truly wild to see their concert in 2018 and notice the differences.

I saw Laufey open for Alexander 23 with just a guitar and a keyboard back in 2021 at a really small venue that held just over 400 people. The tickets for them were under 30 bucks. I was at the front of the "stage" too so I saw her VERY close. Now she's immediately selling out big venues and giving an orchestral performance for them, which is honestly more fitting for her genre of music. But it was nice to experience a stripped/acoustic version of her songs live!

[@VicInCommentSection]

I started listening to Gracie Abrams in 2021 and she was my favorite artist that year. I listen to a lot of emerging artists, and I want to support them and help their careers to take off, but I do miss the intimate concerts. I have also seen Gracie perform 3 times, during the same 3 years you did: 2022, 2023, and 2024. The venues' capacities went from 951 to 1,400 to 8,500, respectively. The tickets went from not being sold out to selling out within seconds on Ticketmaster. In 2023, I went to 27 music shows. In 2024, I went to 30. Listening to music and going to concerts is my #1 hobby, by far. I relate to this video a great deal - well, except for the 3rd concert being an intimate setting (I'm super happy you got to experience that!). Amazingly, the 3rd Gracie concert with 8,500 was my favorite of the 3. And that was my #2 favorite show by any of the 148 artists I've seen in the last several years. This is super surprising to me because I generally enjoy intimate settings more (I went to a concert last month with fewer than 10 people in the audience). I'm so happy Gracie is a recognized star. This is what I want for all the artists I support, as long as they're happy.

I think the crowd was just about 1,000 people. Internet says there were 6,000. I don’t think there were that many. Anyway, now he does stadium shows etc and the price has gone up drastically 😢😢😢

And then, you finally managed to score an intimate concert of one of your favorite artists, only to experience most of it through the screen of your phone.

The problem is that I live in Louisiana, so no one ever comes here unless they started their career here or they’re already big. So many of my favorite small artists are on tour right now, but they’re only going across the east or west coast.

I saw Gracie open for Taylor in Tampa and to see her growth from then until now is absolutely insane! Her stage presence and everything is just amazing!

[@vitalaird9851]

this is EXACTLY how I feel about Sabrina Carpenter. I've loved that girl since 2014 and on top of the whole world hating her over a stupid love triangle her now being one of the biggest pop artists today and those same people loving her now is both beautiful but also heartbreaking

[@Gracies-editss]

wait why are you so underrated you re so funny and entertaining!!!

[@Hubo484]

I was pretty good friends with Austin Swift in high school and through college. Sometimes when we’d be at his house Taylor would be playing and once she played us a couple of songs that she wrote. I just remember her being so fucking sweet but kinda quiet and reserved. Also it’s a bit of a flex to say I’ve had many dinners with Taylor swift lol

Just don’t forget the opposite can happen. Artists get forgotten, no shade but that’s how the industry works. Give it a few decades or less and you may be able to see her in a small club again.

I started listening to Gracie Abrams in 2020, and I was so happy to see her grow. I could finally see her in concert in Barcelona in 2023, and god, it was very amazing.. Everyone was dressed up as her, it kinda had a performative aura about it. She had just been in the Eras Tour so maybe that's why it felt like all of the girls wanted to be dressed as her? Or a "fan" joke that I didn't understand, since I'm not in the fan world for Gracie (I still buy her cds and support her music when it's out! I really look forward to it, but in a chiller way).

watching this in november and she has almost 40million monthly listeners lol

I met Sabrina Carpenter in 2015 for ‘Eyes Wide Open’ after being a diehard fan for years. I feel REALLY old…
