On September 29th, Billie Eilish kicked off her highly anticipated third arena tour, “Hit Me Hard And Soft: The Tour,” in Quebec City.  It’s already making waves in the touring world. The tour’s shows sold out within minutes of tickets going on sale. It even broke the record for most sold-out concerts in a single week, especially in cities like Los Angeles, New York, and London. Billie performed at venues such as Madison Square Garden in New York, The Forum in Los Angeles, and the O2 Arena in London.

   On October 5th, she performed her fourth show of the tour in Philadelphia, and my friend and I were lucky enough to go.

   Her first song of the night, “Chirio,” featured loud beats and intense blue lights that made the crowd go wild. Eilish performed in the “round,” a rectangle in the middle of the arena that let the audience see her from all angles. The production included lasers slicing through the air and fire igniting the stage as she jumped around with her infectious energy. The concert was a mix of intense moments and emotional moments, showcasing Eilish’s heart-wrenching vocals and raw talent. There was much time to sing and dance to your favorite songs as her show was an hour and 45 minutes long.

    One of the highlights of the show was witnessing Billie’s genuine connection with her fans. She engaged with the audience on the floor, high-fiving fans and allowing some lucky ones to appear on the big screen. Her vulnerability is displayed in her dedicated fan base, who come decked out in custom outfits and chant until she’s off the stage.

   Having seen Billie Eilish perform twice now, I can say her recent show reflects her growth as both an artist and a person. Her vocals, the production quality of the tour, and her stamina on stage have all improved since the last time I saw her. If you’re contemplating whether to catch her on this tour, I definitely recommend it. It’s an unforgettable experience that will leave you talking about it until the next one.
