Prior to their sold out show at the Astra in Berlin, Tegan and Sara made an appearance at the Saturn store located at Alexanderplatz to exclusively perform three songs and do a signing. Entry was restricted to the first 500 fans who had bought the band's new album Shipwrecked at the store during the week leading up to the event.
In preparation for the event, the store's ground floor had been closed all morning, with fans impatiently waiting outside to meet their faves. Many of them had brought home made signs and countless memorabilia they were planning on getting signed by the twin sisters.
At noon, everything was finally ready and the mass of people flooded the store, everyone trying to rush to the front for the best spots for the upcoming acoustic performance. It took half an hour to arrange and secure everything, and then Tegan and Sara sat down on the small stage with their acoustic guitars.
They played three songs Youth, Closer and Heart Waster, the performances being the only time the audience would simmer down and not scream or cheer tirelessly. It created a bit of a strange atmosphere, with Tegan and Sara seeming almost a bit bewildered by the excitement and even asking the crowd to calm down so that they could start playing.
Still, they appreciated the support, and thanked the fans by serenading them with three of their most popular songs in new arrangements. It's the first time we're playing these songs without keyboards, just acoustic guitars, and we're very nervous, Tegan admitted, but it was unfounded since the songs sounded amazing and the crowd had nothing but love for them.
Afterwards, everything was set up for the signing which allowed every fan to get an autograph from the sisters and say a few words to them. Tegan and Sara sat patiently, having a smile for everyone who stepped up to them and making it an unforgettable experience for everyone who attended.
The SHIPWRECKED Far Away From Home TOUR featuring Tegan and Sara and Special Guest Carly Rae Jepsen
Day 3 Berlin, Germany: Astra
CARLY'S SET
While doing foreign promotion for her latest single 'Little Poems' Carly Rae Jepsen decided to help out Canadian pals Tegan & Sara by touring with them. As their special guest, Carly will be joining them for quite a few dates all over Europe as Carly will promote whilst on the short leg of the tour. Tonight was a sold out date at The Astra in Berlin, Germany.
Setlist:
This Kiss
Carly started off her set in Berlin with a song from her second album. She started off 'This Kiss', the second single off her last album. The crowd immediately realizing the song from its signature synths, Carly skipped out on stage already filled with energy. Pink lights filled the venue as Carly jammed out with the audience. Carly asked the crowd to sing with her and as asked they did.
Dare To Love Me
Second up was the Justin Bieber collab off her album Yours which will be released in the next few weeks. The singer embraced her inner diva as she delivered strong vocals on the sexual and sensual song. The bass strong on the track, she got the audience to jump with her on the song before a dance break sneaked up in the song and had The Astra in nothing but great ol' pop dance madness.
Just What I Need
A new song from her album was next, titled Just What I Need. Having performed this at an exclusive concert at the Staples Center Saturday, the singer wowed the audience this time with a stripped back version of the song. She played guitar on this song, something she's never did before. No one on stage but her, the singer gave an intimate performance of the song, her guitar playing this time much more clean and natural than during the first show. She thanked the audience with a shy smile before moving onto the next song.
Almost There
Carly kept her guitar to perform the Tegan and Sara penned track, Almost There. Immediately when she played the first chords, the audience knew exactly what song it was. She sang the beautiful song along with the crowd, a smile printed on her face. She skipped out on the bridge to play a different bit of the song, but just with guitar. She sang the final chorus acapella, which Berlin audience seemed to love.
Part Of Your World
Carly covered 'Part Of Your World' from the Little Mermaid next, serenading the audience with the gorgeous classic. The audience seemed in awe as the singer got lost in the song. Though the song is a bit sad Carly smiled throughout the song, her emotion in the song evident. The Berlin crowd gave Carly a warm response after the performance, Carly blushing in gratefulness.
Call Me Maybe
The smash hit Call Me Maybe (which sold over 18 million copies worldwide) was what the singer sped up her set with. Performing a intro version of the song that was originally on the demo the crowd roared when she began singing the final cut. Carly danced on stage, singing her hit with just as much as excitement as if she'd never even performed it before.
Little Poems
Carly gushed as the crowd stood on their feat and screamed in approval as her band began playing 'Little Poems'. With a smirk, Carly performed the song, the rhinestoned bow in her hair shining from the pink flashing lights that shined above. She finished the song and left the stage to go into the audience and take a few pics and touch their hands. "Thank you so much for a great show, Berlin. I love you." Carly then disappeared off the stage as the crowd waited for Tegan & Sara
TEGAN AND SARA'S SET
Tegan and Sara's third date on the Shipwrecked Tour saw them cross over to mainland Europe, where they played at Astra in Berlin, Germany. It was another sold out show, proving the dedication of the German fans, and the band seemed in great spirits, exhilarated from the release of their music video earlier that day.
The band wowed their crowd with a perfectly executed 21 song set, including a cover and medley which seemed to go down especially well.
Screw The Keys
Shipwrecked
Straight Backward
The Other Side Of Us
Giving the crowd a taste of the new material right at the start, Tegan and Sara invited everyone to rock out from the get to. With the German crowds always being a bit more reserved, it took until the third song, Straight Backward, though, until they finally gave in and started moving their bodies to the music and quietly sang along.
Back In Your Head
The Con
I'm Not Your Hero
Hell
I Was A Fool
They warmed up even more when the band revisited some of their older tracks, all of them being well-known even in this part of the world. An energetic singalong happened during Back In Your Head, with the audience almost completely taking over the chorus, and songs from their previous album Heartthrob were also well received.
Walking With A Ghost
Where Does The Good Go
Alligator
Nineteen
Atlantic Running
Toning it down to just two acoustic guitars, the two songs from So Jealous were probably the most 'pure' performances of the night, stunning with just the vocals and gusto behind them only to turn it back up again in Atlantic Running, which seems to be on the way to becoming a fan favorite with its quirky lyrics and melody.
Feel It In My Bones (Tiesto ft Tegan and Sara cover)
Light Me Up (Carly Rae Jepsen ft Tegan and Sara)
Heart Waster (with Carly Rae Jepsen)
Continuing the routine of bringing out Carly for this part of the set, they surprised their German audience with this collaboration that found wide approval for its lightness and fun factor. Tegan and Sara proved that they actually have a stage presence and don't always have to hide behind their instruments, as they entertained and interacted with the crowd during Light Me Up and Heart Waster.
Call It Off
You Never
Youth
Returning to a more acoustic setting to finish off the set, they played three more songs, Call It Off finally getting the crowd to sing along from beginning to end, a truly magical experience. Youth was then the time to celebrate the duo's amazing music one last time before they disappeared.
Medley
For the encore, they did their medley of old tunes, this time even longer than the nights before as they had added a special acoustic rendition of Closer and Don't Call Me Empty. Both prompted many cheers from the audience when they began to play, and fans were sure to record the one of a kind performance on their phones.
My dad, he refuses to go to the vet and we have no money until tomorrow. The rabbit can barely move. !!!
Maybe tomorrow you'll go to the vet

DEMI AND SELENA RELEASE MUSIC VIDEO OF I DON'T FORGIVE YOU
Demi had her wedding in that day. Selena helped her to prepare everything for the biggest day of Demi's life. She was also asked by Demi to be a bridesmaid. Now we see Demi in the church as she says yes and her boyfriend's answer is no. After this she is with Selena in a room where she is crying. The song starts to play.
Now there are seen the two girls and Demi's boyfriend as robots. Demi kisses her boyfriend, but they leave each other after this.
Now Demi is back with Selena in the same room singing about their broken hearts.
A flower goes on screen. After this is shows her robotic boyfriend giving this to her. Now Demi is there (not the robotic version of hers) as she has a baseball bat. After this, Selena comes and she breaks the flower (it was a crystal one) with that bat. Now it is revealed to us that that guy was Selena's boyfriend too.
In the end the girls say I Don't Forgive You together and then they hug each other.
