IYKYK: Talk about a lemon girl summer 2.0 for me! I was cruising along on happy vibes, having a good time, and occasionally riddled with wild anxiety for no good or necessary reason. Because I’m me I guess, idk. So anyway…
The other big concert my bestie and I attended this summer was ATEEZ 2025 World Tour [In Your Fantasy]. We were only able to see the Atlanta show but wow it was amazing! We have done VIP for Ateez before, but we’ve never experienced a seated VIP and very close to the stage. We had an excellent side view to see the stage and wonderful choreographies. Atlanta was the first stop in their North American tour and so we got to see everything for the first time, including new music they were releasing later that night. It turned out to be such a fun show but my anxiety was through the roof most of that day and for maybe half of the show and I have no idea why. I was fine before and after. My only guess is my brain twisted good excitement with bad excitement, the idea of being perceived made me uncomfortable lol, and not knowing the setlist was too much of a surprise to be fun. But it’s so weird that that was too much for me. My mindset was out of my normal space being such a seasoned concert goer.
For the record though, I was a jittery anxious wreck for most of July for whatever reason, so I don’t blame my issues on attending this show. If anything, it gave me a boost of excitement amid all the internal chaos I was surfing through. But I love Ateez, they put on a hell of a good show, and I enjoyed my time despite being a nervous girlie.
Prior to the concert, Ateez released a mini album and the title track was called Lemon Drop. So naturally lemons became the theme of my concert outfit. I wore one of my favorite lemon going out tops paired with lemon earrings. Those earrings are really special because they were the first earrings I ever laser cut. So I decided to wear special lemons for a special occasion. My outfit was zesty and I had a fun time overall. 🍋🍸
