Livingston at The Majestic

For me, this wasn’t just another show; it was the culmination of following two artists whose music found me at the right time. I’ve been listening to both Livingston and Braden Bales since 2023, originally discovering them through TikTok. But Livingston’s latest release, A Hometown Odyssey: The Story Continues, transformed me from a casual listener into a full-blown fan. As of this moment, he’s my most-played artist of 2025. After this show, that’s not changing anytime soon.

Miley Cyrus Is Done Chasing Hits—And Something Beautiful Proves It

Let’s be real—when Flowers dropped in 2023, it felt like a cultural reset. Miley had the breakup anthem of the year, the power strut of the decade, and a global audience chanting “I can love me better.” It was a moment. So what happens when you follow up a worldwide smash that redefined your narrative?
