I was recently invited to the Demi Lovato World Tour at the Baltimore Arena thanks to the Radiant Collection from Tampax and Always. Unfortunately, I was unable to make the concert…but for a good reason! I was celebrating my Little Monkey’s 1st Birthday. That being said, I decided to send my nieces (and huge Demi Lovato fans) to the concert in my place, and the experience was over and beyond anything in their imagination.
Demi was recently named by MTV among the Best Dressed at The Teen Choice Awards, and there is no doubt that girls look up to her as role model. She not only carries a “Wear What You Want” attitude and confidence, but she also participates in amazing, motivational volunteer work around the world.
On the day of the show, my nieces Brianna and Brittany were escorted to the Wear What You Want Closet, featuring a red dress Demi wore at the VMAs. There was a photo booth, selfie station, and an opportunity to meet Demi herself! I had no idea that would be part of the night’s events, and neither did they! They were over the moon to meet her in person, and one of them said it was the “best early birthday present ever.” I think I just might have won the “Coolest Aunt” title this week (sorry Jen ;-)).
During the concert, they had stage-side seats with an amazing view of Demi and also the opening acts, MKTO and Christina Perri. A man named Spencer West, who is a double amputee, partnered with Demi and Free the Children and gave a motivational speech to the audience about never giving up on your dreams. Demi also spoke about the limited edition rafiki friend chains on sale during her tour and how 100% of the profits will go to a women’s empowerment center in Kenya.
On the overall experience, my niece Brianna stated, “The entire experience was amazing and we are so thankful. She is my favorite singer and role model, and getting to meet her is something I never imagined. Not only did she inspire us with her music but with everything she’s been through and is doing to help others.”
The girls took the following photos at the concert and events which I have shared below:
It looks like it was an amazing time, and I’m so happy my nieces were able to have this experience to hold onto.
