I've tried to get into her music bc there's something so genuinely cool and likeable about Olivia, but it's really not for me lol I'm really happy for her success tho <3

Same, I honestly just think I'm too old for it so her lyrics don't really resonate with me.

[monsterlovebosa]

See I feel too old for her music but at the same time I can still relate to her songs. I mean come on Bad Idea Right and Get Him Back, have we not all been there before?! … just me? 😅

[aleksie]

Aren't some of us still doing shit like that?

[monsterlovebosa]

Arenas are so much better than stadiums when it comes to concerts.

[mhfromnh]

hard agree. you can control the lighting and atmosphere in an arena. and usually better acoustics.

[odetothefool]

fr you can't see shit at a stadium concert without watching something on a screen and at that point i'd rather be at home. even if you get a close up seat sometimes you can only see like 1/3 of the stage or what's going on cause normally stadium stages are also huge

Smart. Stagecraft should be developed in stages, not big jumps.
She's still so young, she's gonna perform in stadiums eventually.

Wait
Hang on
A stadium and arena aren’t the same thing?!

signed, someone who does not go to either

[delfintaka]

Yeah, arena is a smaller event venue.

[jojito]

No, stadiums are much larger. Capacity for 50k, 70k, 100k.
Arenas are smaller 10k- 25k capacity. They are also indoor while stadiums are open air.

[rhenna_navi]

Not all stadiums are open air.

A lesson Shakira could have learned. She just canceled her arena tour to rebook in stadiums, just a few weeks before the tour was starting, and her fanbase are PISSED.

[delfintaka]

I related to this anger! I would never willingly buy a stadium ticket. It is just too much for me. What do people like me supposed to do now?

[monsterlovebosa]

Hopefully she sells enough tickets for the stadiums or else she will have to cancel to “focus on her family”.

[thebadunkadunk]

I think that was a miscalculation. I would have tried to add more dates to the tour
