Yes, you read that title correctly. Demi Lovato’s Tell Me You Love Me Tour was the best night of my life.
Now, I have been the biggest Demi Lovato fan since the womb, okay? This wasn’t a tour that I was going to miss. I’ve always told myself that the next concert of hers that I went to, I would buy VIP passes just so I can meet her. (Seriously, I’m a big fan.) But ya girl doesn’t have that kind of money in the bank so I guess I had to settle for floor seats.
But girl, that was not just settling. If I had never have gotten those seats, that night wouldn’t have been the night that was it. Thankful to my wonderful mother for scoring me two tickets to take my best friend with me I know that I was destined to be in those seats. (Cue dramatic music.)
The show started and new singer Kehlani opened the show along with special guest DJ Khaled. That night, I quickly learned that DJ Khaled is the definition of extra, but it was definitely cool to hear, “WE THE BEST MUSIC!” in real life. The lights came back and a crew from backstage came out and started setting up the stage for Demi.
My heart started racing, my bladder started filling, and the tears started coming. Demi Lovato was about to come on stage and I could actually see her this time.
The lights went out and the crowd started going crazy. I was frozen. I didn’t know how to react or how I should feel. Everything seemed so surreal.
She rose from under the stage to the middle and started singing, “You Don’t Do It For Me Anymore.” I was shook. My best friend and I looked at each other wondering how we got these seats and how amazing life is that we got to be here.
She continued on with the show with some old favorites like, “Cool For The Summer,” and “Confident,” but this next part was about to change my life.
After she sang "Confident", an acoustic instrumental was playing as the stage crew was setting up for the next song. Meanwhile, I see a herd of security guards coming down the aisle where my best friend and I were sitting. Thankfully we were as close to her as possible. I looked in the opposite direction and my friend nudges me. All I can hear is “JESSICA LOOK,” and there within the heard was none other than the queen, Demi Lovato.
Demi Lovato walked right past us.
All I could say was, “Oh my god.”
Yes, she was gorgeous
Yes, she really is that short.
And yes, she can really sing like that in person.
So I did what any fangirl would do. I started screaming, crying, and of course saying, “Oh my God!” over and over again.
As she moved over to the next stage, she was even closer to where we were sitting, and my life was complete. All I had ever wanted was to be close to her at one of her shows and here’s God giving me two chances to be as close to her as I can get without murdering my bank account.
She continued the show with some of my new favorites like, “Concentrate” and “Sorry Not Sorry” and she never failed to keep the crowd going.
Towards the end of the concert, Demi said, “I wanted tonight’s setlist to showcase my sexy side, my loving side, my confident side, and my sexy side. I wanted this to be like a big therapy session for everyone, and I want everyone to know that they are loved.”
Going to the Demi Lovato "Tell Me You Love Me" Tour was a life-changing experience for me. Not only was I two feet away from her at a point, but I felt the genuine emotions she poured out to the crowd.
Maybe next concert of hers I go to I’ll get to meet her, but for now, this was the best night of my life.
