Twice the lady, twice the lady voice power, twice the revolution. You guys. Bass-tastic Meghan Trainor and Bratz doll-come-to-life Hailee Steinfeld are going on tour together, and it's going to be all of our feminist-vocal fantasies come true. Meghan Trainor's Untouchable Tour already sounds so epic: it's the live counterpoint to the release of her second album, Thank You. She's hitting all of the sweet spots countrywide in the US and, if you want to note the date down on your calendar (or millennial electronic equivalent), tickets go on sale on April 29. So get ready.
2016, you're too much. No really, you're spoiling us. What with Beyoncé's Formation tour and now this, I feel like I've got all a whole lot of live-feminist pop to look forward to. Who even cares if it's sunny this summer, because there's going to be so much sunshine in my heart. Have you guys listened to Hailee Steinfeld's album, Haiz? It's the most convincing argument out there that Steinfeld is the best woman for the job of accompanying lady legend Trainor on tour. The whole album's just one self-acceptance banger after the next. It's like "Respect" for the Instagram generation. It's like Shel Silverstein's The Missing Piece, but set to a soaring pop backdrop.
So if you see someone moshing like crazy in the crowd this summer: that's probably me. See you at the tour, and check out the dates below.
