Overview
- The Small Rooms, Big Nerves run opened Jan. 19 at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, marking Duff’s first concert since 2015 and her return to headlining after a long hiatus.
- The 17-song set paired staples like “Come Clean,” “So Yesterday” and “Why Not” with live debuts of “Weather for Tennis,” “We Don’t Talk” and “Future Trippin’,” plus performances of singles “Mature” and “Roommates.”
- Duff closed with the first-ever live performance of “What Dreams Are Made Of” from The Lizzie McGuire Movie and invited fans onstage to re-create her viral “With Love” dance.
- Audience chatter around “We Don’t Talk” suggested it might address a family rift with sister Haylie, though the song’s subject has not been confirmed by Duff.
- The tour heads to Toronto on Jan. 24 and Brooklyn on Jan. 27 before a mini Las Vegas residency in February and May, as Duff readies Luck … or Something, co-produced with Matthew Koma and Brian Phillips.
