When I looked back on my pop culture highlights of 2019, I noticed a trend that I hadn’t expected but fully embraced: going to pop concerts.
At the beginning of the year I decided that budget allowing (and truthfully, some occasional press perk freebies) I was going to make the eff ort to see more pop shows in 2019. I’d frequently hand-wring about the cost of tickets or taking a night off work but realised that if I loved an artist’s music then an evening soaking up their show was an experience that would stick with me.
