Well yes, of course I went to another concert the next day because that’s just who I am. I’ve been through many issues where I have to concerts back to back but that’s the fun of it. This concert was held at Madison Square Garden during Ariana’s Honeymoon Tour. Of course, Ariana slayed. Before the show though, I had purchased Rixton meet and greets a few months before the show. We got there a little bit more earlier than expected so we had to wait an hour or so. I live a decent distance from the city and if you’re going to a show, you have to go a little bit earlier than actual show time since it all depends on traffic.

In the meantime, I got the softest Rixton tee shirt, which I still wear to this day because it is so unbelievably comfy and an Ariana tour tee shirt as well as Ariana’s electronic cat ears that I wore during the concert. After waiting, more people started to show up and they gave us wristbands and checked off our names on the Live Nation guest list. I never had a meet and greet at MSG before so it was pretty interesting.

I was the second girl in line to meet them and made small talk with the girl in front of me. The person in charge of the meet and greet lead us down this strange corridor into another really big hallway and there stood Rixton’s background and a door right near it. The person in charge told us to have our cameras ready so he could take a picture of us with Rixton. When they came in, of course everyone (including me) fangirled as they made funny faces at everyone and waved as we took pictures of them.

When it was my turn to finally meet them, I hugged Lewi, Danny, Charley (who is my fave) and Jake (since they were standing in that order.) I got to tell them that Rixton’s band account followed me on twitter and Charley said “Cheers!” I totally forgot what else I said to them besides I love their music and them so much. We took a regular smiling picture and then the camera guy said we can take another one, since my Aunt (the one who took me to the meet and greet) wasn’t taking a picture. Then I asked them “What should we do?” and then Charley being Charley said “Let’s pretend we’re looking for a boat.” And that was pretty much the best and cutest meet and greet picture ever.

Following the concert, Rixton put on an amazing show and sang some of my favorite songs of theirs including Appreciated and Hotel Ceiling. During that song, they asked everyone to shine their cell phone lights in the air and when MSG is lit, it looks so unbelievably pretty. If you ever go to a concert at MSG during a slow song of your favorite artist/band, it looks quiet incredible. Other than a few slow songs, Rixton definitely was lifting up the crowd, getting them pumped up for Ariana.

When Ariana finally came on, the spotlight was on her as her dancers flew up from the ground and danced a little before Bang Bang started blasting through the speakers. Ariana definitely put on an amazing show and I did not stop dancing one. Her voice was also incredible as always and I will probably never miss an Ariana Grande show. I hope to meet her someday since she has been my idol since 2008 during her broadway days. I even saw her when she was in 13 with Elizabeth Gillies. Also enjoy a video I took during Ariana’s concert above this post. 🙂 (I had aisle floor seats opposite the runway and sorry for the shaky video.)
