i love working with chris. he had a big vision for this tour and is very hands on. he cares a lot, and wants to make every moment of the show memorable and impactful. we worked closely with him to bring his vision to life, which was really fun!

not everyone knows this about him, but chris produces, mixes and masters his music himself (and writes it all with allegra). naturally, he MD’d the set as well 🤓 very impressive
(MD: music director)

chris goes all out in rehearsals — i love when an artist does this! we practiced over and over and over againnnn

rehearsing like you’re performing an actual show is so important imo. even though it’s impossible to replicate the adrenaline and energy of the crowd, building that muscle memory is the key to feeling more confident on stage when it’s finally show time :)

i like to bring notes to rehearsals and write out the set list. it helps me with performance anxiety. this way i can write down the changes we make while we go through the set. i always *think* im going to remember them … lol

the lighting for this tour was soooo cool! shoutout Glowlight Live ( Averil Bott & Kyle Dean ) for the amazing lighting design 🤩

see what i mean !!! this much lighting requires “production rehearsals” , where we go in and set up the whole show in a soundstage so we can rehearse with the lights and everything. dress rehearsals, basically. i love this part of rehearsals

isaiah pretending to be chris 😂 playing around with the smoke machines is so fun. chris’ riser in the front there is legit called the “hero riser”, so naturally you wanna stand on it

this became one of my favourite moments in the show… iykyk ;)

crew’s on deck!! 👷🏻👷🏻‍♀️

the show really came together 🤩 sometimes i wish i could’ve attended as a viewer bc it looked so coool

it really does take a village to bring a show from rehearsals to the stage ✨ i feel so grateful to have been a part of such an amazing team - so kind, silly, and insanely talented!! can’t wait to do it all again 🥰

weho pride with Ashlee Simpson Ross & the hottest band ever 💘🤩🌈

paradise lost tour complete ✅❕this tour was so special it’s difficult to put into words. through all the trials and tribulations, bus breakdowns, endless flights of stairs and early morning flights straight to the venue, we stood strong as a team and put on a killer show every night. & we got to tour the world as we did it 🥹🖤 i had such a blast!!! sometimes i feel like the luckiest girl in the world.

thanks for having me and trusting me with your music and live show 🫶 .gibbons any time i get to share the stage with you is an absolute treat. homies 4 life ♓️👯🤝

special shout out to who deserves TM of the Year 🏆™️ - anyone would be lucky to have him on their team. you set an example of positivity and kindness i think everyone would benefit from studying.
