08:30
I woke up with the sun shining between the curtains and I couldn't be more excited. I got up, showered, brushed my teeth, and got dressed. Something about getting ready in a hotel feels very luxurious, but this particular day my confidence was through the roof and this just enhanced the feeling.
As I got out of my room, and my friends were already at the dining table with the breakfast all set up, I looked at them and their eyes were fixated on me with curious intent.
"Good morning guys," I calmly said while taking my seat at the table.
"Cut the crap," Jane spoke up, "what happened last night?"
"Well, I slept great thank you for asking," I replied with a sarcastic tone and proceeded to make a plate for myself.
"Is this her way of saying she got some?" Lewis asked Alice.
"For your information, nothing happened," I replied as I continued to get the food on my plate, "I went to his room, gave him the tickets, he offered me a drink we went down to the bar, talked and he asked me on a date".
"YOU CALL THAT NOTHING?" Jane yelled, outraged at me for downplaying it, "THIS IS GREAT NEWS!"
"Thank you, Jane," I replied, "but no official plans were made so let's just focus on work today and then we all discuss this in more detail later".
"She has a point," Alice said as she looked at the agenda, "we have a long day ahead"
"Thank you, Alice," I said then turned to Jane, "plus if you are patient a double date might be in your cards." You winked and nudged, reminding her of her big crush on Anthony.
"Okay okay, let's get to work" you all laughed and continued to eat.
From the moment we finished breakfast till we got to the stadium was a blur. Since the paparazzi found out you were also staying at the Four Seasons, fans were outside the hotel and I tried my best to take pictures and give autographs. Once we arrived at the stadium the energy was up as the team step up the stage according to the aesthetic of the album, while I worked with the band for some last-minute changes to the setlist.
We did two sound checks of the whole performance twice, with and without our costumes. When it comes to performances I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist for good reason, to not disappoint the audience and always make sure the team and I have fun.
06:00 pm
The show started at 07:00 pm and by this time I was sat in the hair and make-up chair. After Jane does her magic on me, I run to the wardrobe room where all the dancers and musicians are getting ready, I put on my first outfit and we take pictures as a group. These are the special moments we all hold close to our hearts. Finally, right before going, I head back to my dressing room and have those last few moments alone to meditate, get centered and head out.
This time before I left my dressing room, I checked my phone to find a text from Sebastian that read, "We all just got to the stadium, I can't wait to see you kill it tonight". This put a smile on my face and motivated me beyond words.
I got out of the dressing room, and moved backstage, where I could hear the crowd go wild and from the moment I got on stage to the last moments of the show where I did my mic drop and thanked the crowd and my team, it was absolutely gorgeous.

Authors Notes:
Hey guys :) I just wanted to take this moment to thank you for reading my work and for bearing with me through my descriptions and not so much Sebastian. Being a singer is actually my dream and here I tried my best to write down my experiences with performing and what I actually go through before going on stage and during a performance, I actually blackout.
The next chapter will be something special for you guys (and a personal fantasy), in Sebastian's perspective of us on stage. Again thank you so much and I will keep doing my absolute best at writing this story for all of you.
PS if you are not into these aspects of being a musician, I dial it down after the next chapter so I hope you stick around for that.
Xoxo 💛, K.
