Right here’s a recap of my journey to Charlotte for the Benson Boone Live performance!

If I had to decide on a favourite artist proper now, it might be Benson Boone. I’ve been following him for the reason that first time I heard “Stunning Issues” on the radio. One might say I’m crushing onerous!
Again in 2024, Katie, Sean and I went to see him in Richmond. He was nonetheless up and coming, and this was a normal admission present that was possibly half full. This time? The Spectrum Heart in Charlotte was packed like sardines!


We drove down through the day Wednesday and arrived at my sister’s home. She stunned Emerson with tickets to her first live performance for Em’s upcoming tenth birthday. We turned into our going-out garments and headed uptown!

The Albion Match Metropolis Jumpsuit (and all of Albion Match) is 25% off proper now with the code LD25KATHEATS!

We had dinner at Angeline’s earlier than the present, which was nice. I had an Outdated Customary and the whipped feta dip to start out.


Plus some Italian wine and an eggplant pasta dish.

We needed to run by way of the pouring rain to get into the Spectrum Heart!


We had AMAZING seats as a result of I used to be prepared on-line through the presale and snagged the perfect ones I might discover! Row A, proper close to the tip of the catwalk. As somebody who is just not tall, I liked having the entrance row view! I might see each ab muscle on that man!

Em and I sang the entire time! It’s so enjoyable going to a live performance when you realize practically each phrase to each tune – even the unreleased one!




The highlights for me had been “Younger American Coronary heart,” when one million paper hearts shot from the ceiling; “I Wanna Be The One You Name” as a result of it’s so enjoyable to sing; “Earlier than You” as a result of he didn’t play it final time; and the unreleased tune he performed on the piano as a result of I like it!

I can’t watch for the subsequent present (and the subsequent album!)

Whereas we had been leaving, we bumped into one in every of our fitness center pals who moved away – Katie and her husband! Such a enjoyable coincidence to see them with that many individuals within the area.

I stayed in Charlotte an additional day so I might hang around with my nieces a bit extra!

Together with this niece:

I walked to a espresso store for matcha, and we received Yafo Kitchen bowls for lunch.


We went to Catalina for dinner Thursday evening.


Larbs and Matt really helpful the Oaxacan Outdated Customary, which didn’t disappoint.
