Up At Night Tour Fan Experience - Copenhagen

I met them. I met six girls who have all changed my life for the better. November 9th 2016 will be a day to remember for many years to come, and now I will tell you all why:

Cimorelli is a group of six singers. Christina, Katherine, Lisa, Amy, Lauren, and Dani. All of these girls hold a special place in my heart for the things they have done for me. They’ve seen this before, they know they help their fans, but I still want to write about my experience.

On the day I went to the place where they were going to perform. Really early with my twin sister, we were standing there in the cold and I was just so excited and so was she. We didn’t even argue during the waiting, even though we normally argue… Maybe a bit too much.

After we’d waited for about three hours, their tour bus arrived. We were still the only fans waiting there, so we got to be the only one’s to see them on their walk to the backstage area. Dani and Lauren looked exhausted but they still smiled and greeted us.

Then came Amy, Katherine and Christina. They looked a little less tired, but they were also really happy and greeted us with smiles. 

And then Lisa went by, and my sister couldn’t help herself, because she knows how much I respect and admire this girl, because I can relate so much to her. She beamed “Do you recognize her?!” when Lisa greeted us and she nodded eagerly and said “yes!”

I was so happy after that. We chose to go and find some food after that, because we were freezing so bad and we were getting hungry.

When we we returned, two other fans were there and we sat with them and had LOADS of fun and talked a lot. 

We waited for some more hours, and then it was time. We got inside, and we could hear them doing their soundcheck upstairs. Both me and my sister were a mess of excitedness, and when we got to hear the soundcheck version of Never Let Me Fall, my sister looked at me shocked. “I almost started crying!” she said, excitedly. I’m the one who showed her the music, and I don’t even know how obsessed she is with them, but I was a bit taken back by her comment. She does cry easily, but not due to something like this. So it surprised me a bit.

Then we went downstairs again for the meet & greet. 

First I met Dani. I was a wreck of nervousness, so I couldn’t really talk, other than saying hi and giving her my phone so she could take our selfie. But she was nice, and we got a great picture.

Christina was next. She was all excited asking “Do we have the same hair color?!” and then she put her braid on top of my head and excitedly exclaimed “Yes, we do!”. I laughed at that and let her take a picture of us, then I got completely dead inside because the next one in line was Lisa. 

Her words surprised me: “Nice to finally meet you!”.

This was big for me. I’d tweeted her a lot, and I’d shown her my new hair that I got because she inspired me to do it, but the fact that she RECOGNIZED me. Out of SO many fans, she could just instantly recognize ONE? That made me feel special. We took a photo, and then I got brave and asked for a silly photo, and she said yes. I laughed because she was making such a funny face and I tried to as well, and she was like “Noooo, don’t laugh!”. And did I mention my camera went standby mode, and she couldn’t read the Danish words so she was all “Nooo, what do I do!?” and I had to help one of my biggest role models. 

After Lisa I went to Amy and took a photo with her. I didn’t get to talk to her that much, because I was processing my meet with Lisa, but I know that my sister did, and she fumbled her words so badly Amy put a hand on her arm asking if she was okay. I was very thankful for this little girl actually asking my twin sister if she was okay in the middle of a stressful concert meet & greet.

Then I went to Lauren. Her hug was special. It instantly just made me relax, I don’t know how, but it just did. And I told her how soft her hair was, because it really was! She wasn’t as convinced as I was, but she let me touch it and I was happy that she didn’t get scared of such a weird request. lol.

Last but NOT least came Katherine. I was all grounded and not air-headed when I got to her, because of Lauren’s hug, and we talked back and forth a bit before we took our picture and I gave her the small bag of jewelries that I’d gotten for them all and the letter and said my thanks.

The concert itself was.. Just magical. It was tense. I was pumped up on happiness, I could NOT stand still, I sang from the top of my lungs as loud as I could, and during Acid Rain, Good Enough, and Worth The Fight I just cried my eyes out. So did my sister.

During Worth the Fight the sisters brought three special people on stage. Two little girls, couldn’t be more than 10-12 years old and another girl who had been sittting in a wheelchair but was standing up during the concert. The girls gave these three girls the moment of their life! They were SO thoughtful!

During You’re Worth it - and I also cried during that song - Lisa came by and held my hand for a bit longer than everyone else. Maybe because I was crying, I don’t know, but it was a good moment. I felt so happy!

When Dani gave a speech and said none were the same, not even twins, I had to give my sister a high five. This made Kath laugh while looking at us, and I couldn’t help but smile back. 

After performing Renegade, they were gone. I had a weird knot in my chest. I’d met them. I wanted to meet them again. I still REALLY want to meet them again. I want to say all the things I forgot to say, I want to express my heartfelt grattitude to these special six girls.
