WOW. What an incredible concert  no issues waiting in line, the people were all super nice. Meeting her was so surreal. It was pretty quick, but we shared a personal exchange which meant a lot and she seemed so genuinely happy to be there. Things got messy because we went into the pit for the Q&A, but then had to leave it and go back to the merch room so they could formally let us in. They tried forcing me into a bag check which I've never had an issue with before, even at the same venue, and I had no cash, so I had to scramble to dig everything out that I needed and throw away the rest along with the bag. Luckily the two guys who were in front of me noticed that I wasn't there and saved my spot  the first opening act was okay, but I really liked Cardiknox and will be listening to their album.
The concert itself... I mean... she has SO MUCH spunk, she's adorable and it felt really personal. Sometimes she would get this smile on her face that looked completely starstruck/overwhelmed with everyone having such a good time. The crowd was really energetic without being rude or pushy, and there were quite a few children there too  When I Needed You was IT  during Call Me Maybe she walked on the elevated part of the barricade, at one point her body was literally inches from me and I didn't even know what to do  it all went so fast though, I can't believe how many songs she did. Oh and Fever is a bop.
And then after the show I waited by her tour bus (along with the good sis Wesley) and met her again and got a selfie  it was so weird saying "hi, again!" as if she was just a normal person  but she met EVERY fan that was waiting for her, she was probably out there for half an hour.
Probably tied for my favorite concert experience with when I had M&G at artRave. Ugh what a legend

I'm praying she comes to australia

She's talented, genuine & sweet with a boat load of humbleness; she will prevail.
True artist.

What an incredible experience. I waited until I got back to my apartment and on a computer to reminisce, but Carly is truly such a humble, lighthearted and energetic person. The VIP experience was fast, but intimate tbh! She did autograph everyone's albums. Got my EMOTION vinyl signed
The Q&A session was a nice touch. The setlist was BOMB as ****. So perfect. I thought RAWM being the opener would be not-so-great, but it was amazing and set the whole mood of the concert. It was nonstop jumping and dancing. Completely sold-out and packed
After the show, she must've stopped for at least 100 people. So I got my M&G photo, autograph, and then another polaroid outside
She's such an angel and you could tell she really cares about what she does. I'm so glad I got to see her live during the EMOTION era. Truly remarkable woman.

I just got back from her Nashville show, definitely one of the best concerts I've ever attended! The crowd was great, not quite sold out but probably around 900 / 1,000. She sang the chorus of IRLY to me and it was perf

You have to stick around after the show by her tour bus. She talked to literally everybody who waited (like 30+ people) and took pictures with EVERYONE and signed ANYTHING and she was SO SWEET. She was out within like half an hour after the end of the concert, too, so it's not like you'll be waiting long

I walked by the venue in Baltimore earlier and she soundchecked First Time twice; I think it might be replacing, or at least is being played after, Favourite Colour.
