LTWT DAY ONE!

The day Louis has talked about all year, has always dreamed of ("that's the moment where my solo career starts") came today with the sold out first show of his world tour tonight in Barcelona and it was FANTASTIC! He said, "I will remember that forever, better than I could have imagined" and "I’ve visualized this moment so many times, am I gonna feel good about myself? Is the crowd gonna be good? You checked every box, I love you, I don’t want it to end," and it won't, as Only The Poets posted, "tonight’s just the start!" Louis played 18 songs, three of them 1D songs (Drag Me Down, Through The Dark (!!!!!!) and Little Black Dress), two covers (Catfish and the Bottlemen, more on that in a sec, and Kings of Leon), his voice was fucking PERFECT, like really, he killed it. It was beautiful. All the things: He rolled out and immediately gave the rainbows in the crowd the old point and wave during the first song. The bass drum was decorated with a Doncaster post code (Doncaster was also highlighted on the merch.) The show meet and greet was cancelled due to virus concerns, very reasonable, but I bet those fans felt a little put out when Louis practically threw himself into the crowd TWO times but for all that, it does appear he was at least somewhat contact avoidant and stayed mostly just out of reach. Still, babe, please do not get sick FFS! What about that Catfish song you ask? WELL it was in fact the one that the first (and repeated) word of the song is Larry so yeah, Louis straight up just stood on stage and sang about Larry with his whole ass chest, amazing! What's that you say, too bad he didn't also play the one that the chorus is "I ain't never going back to thinking straight"? Don't worry he chose that one to put on his (very fun) new playlist that he dropped this morning! I... just... that band has so many songs that sound just like those two like... I have to laugh. Choices, bless him, he makes em and we truly have no choice but to stan. Anyway he made both cover songs his bitch own, fucking smashed it, all of it.

Pre-show things: Louis got on twitter to say how excited he was but that he wasn't into the flower project and fans were like well maybe it isn't about what YOU want, LOL. But then I think they didn't do it so that's a bit sad. LTHQ had loads of things: a virtual message wall, send us videos for tour fan cam they said, a find the signed merch outside the venue game (will they give something away in every city? I love it but also am ready for the fight stories), and omg speaking of merch that new merch! Is so good! They have truly been listening to what we want (and ummm looking at what we're already making). The new stuff is for sale online as well as at shows and includes a mural hoodie and a shirt in Japanese and an enamel pin that is one hundred percent a knockoff of the one by Millypins someone gave him last month and he was super enthused about: well, fair play! But also LMAO.
