My top 5 from who I’ve seen in concert

I’ve posted my broadway musicals ranking of what I’ve seen live. Here are my concert rankings + my top 5 from each artist!!! I am aware that this might be a very basic ranking and list but I don’t care!!!

8. Boygenius

I fucking love Boygenius so much that it hurts to rank them this low but the concert experience was awful. I was barricade so naturally it was a very intense situation and it was mid July and 90 degrees. Unfortunately, my experience was ruined within the last few songs when I got felt up by a very drunk lesbian couples (the lesbian part is pretty on brand for the band though). Other than that, Phoebe, Julien, and Lucy are incredible performers and it was a magical show! Bonus points though because Lucy saw my poster (: More bonus points because the opener was Carly Rae Jepsen!!!!!!!!! More points taken off because my merch got stolen…

These “top 5” have no order to them tbh btw

#7: The Wrecks

I don’t necessarily have anything bad to say about this concert there were just better ones. This was my first ever concert and to make a long story short I was very sick and didn’t know it in its entirety yet and was in the hospital about a week later lmao. Besides the point! We stood in the very back which was fine but it was super fun. I yelled “I lover you, Nick!” to the lead singer and he said it back which was cool (:

Turn it Up
Favorite Liar
Freaking Out
Fvck Somebody
Infinitely Ordinary

No pictures from this concert… only videos lol.

#6: Renee Rapp

This one means something so different to me than it will anyone else I feel. As we are well aware, I’m a broadway fan and in 2020, Broadway actors used Cameo to make little extra money while shows weren’t running. My mom surprised me with a 30 minute one on one zoom call with Renee Rapp who was my absolute favorite on Broadway at the time. It was amazing and she was so sweet and perfect and lovely and Ms. Renee Rapp herself!!! One of the best experiences for 12 year old me. Fast forward to 2023, her concert!!! It was so good, she’s so stunning, but she didn’t see my poster which I was low-key banking on her seeing. We got there pretty early and it was very hot which sucked because it was October haha.

Also note I haven’t immersed myself enough yet into her new album so I’m only used Snow Angel and her Everything to Everyone… whoops sorry.

The Wedding Song
So What Now
Tattoos
I Hate Boston
Don’t Tell My Mom

#5: Hozier

Ahhh! I saw this one with my best friend, Evan, for my birthday and he was amazing. We had seats which was awesome at the huge venue. He is literally the Holy Spirit and I felt it in my soul. He’s so amazing and perfect in every way and performed amazing. Points off because I looked awful at this concert </3

#4: Role Model

Oh my god this was amazing. It was very hot inside the tiny venue but I went with my co-workers and we had such blast seeing each other outside of coffee making!!! I was still a newer fan at the time but I knew every song and every song was a VIBE to hear live. Tucker did so good and I’m so glad that he’s gaining so much love. Bonus points because I ran into one of my old best friends at this concert and I think it reconnected us in the best way possible.

#: PHOEBE BRIDGERS

My #1 artist of all time. The artist of mine who had 32,700 minutes on Apple Music in 2022. My future wife and my first tattoo in inspiration. No bad comments about this concert (except maybe that my ex and his gf sat in front of us but who gaf). I’m doing my top 10 because I can’t just pick 5. She’s my favorite artist of all time just 2 other concerts topped her. Bonus points because she played Waiting Room.

#2: Taylor Swift

My baby. Nothing at all ever against this concert. The most fun I’ve ever had, went with my best friend. made a trip out of it, got the BEST surprise songs ever (Everything has Changed on piano and TIWWCHNT on guitar). No notes. This concert means everything to me and always will. Only picking 5 will remain impossible but I’m trusting my gut with these 5.

The Archer
Cowboy Like Me
Hoax
The Prophecy

#1: Noah Freaking Kahan.

Holy fucking shit you never would think anything can top TAYLOR SWIFT but someone can. Noah is actually so incredible live and I can’t even put it into words further than that. 100/10 performance, crowd banter, setlist, energy, and everything in between. I’ve met / bonded with some of my favorite people ever because of his music which has nothing to do with the concert but it just makes it that much more special. Also what was fun is we were pretty far away so we were just dancing and vibing all night. Bonus points because my outfit ate down. Picking 5 is impossible btw. Sue me for I’m picking 8.
