Without an opening act the past two days Ellie had to open up her own show with an acoustic set.

No opening act, no problem! @

Awwwe Ellie...having to open up her own show. Though,low-key, I hate her live performance of 'Don't need Nobody'. It was so lazy and it's my favorite song from that album!!

Why didn't Taylor show up?!

[mimoiikit143]

lol i had the same thought

[walkanotatalka]

i hope hes ok tbh. the fact they havent said whats wrong makes me think he might be struggling w/ his anxiety/panic attacks. I hope it's not tho. :(

[zanrararara]

i wonder too, but hopefully he gets the help he needs.

[lavdiaz]

Yeah, I hope he's alright. I read recently that he's starting to avoid social media because of the homophobia/rape jokes that people @ him.
