Hilary Duff returned to the spotlight with a sold-out show in which she effortlessly charmed an audience of thousands. At 38 years old, it's been 18 years since Duff last took to the stage as a performer, but fans from all over Europe and Brazil were more than ready to welcome her back.
Duff herself seemed taken aback by the frenzied reception, with some in attendance so loud they could barely hear the singer. But she bounced back quickly, channeling a girl-next-door charm that made the evening feel like an old friend had dropped by for tea. Her setlist was a mix of new material and fan favourites, including her 2007 single With Love, which became an unlikely TikTok hit years later.
Throughout the performance, Duff demonstrated an enviable range, from the upbeat Why Not to the melancholy Someone's Watching Over Me – a song that, while touching, felt slightly cloying at times. Yet it was clear she'd honed her craft since last performing live, with her voice now richer and more nuanced than ever.
The evening's highlight came when Duff brought three lucky fans on stage to recreate the choreography of With Love, which had gone viral on TikTok a decade earlier. It was an endearingly nostalgic touch that left the crowd in stitches – and showed just how much Duff has retained her ability to make people laugh.
As she closed out her set with new single Mature and Lizzie McGuire classic What Dreams Are Made Of, the atmosphere became almost impossible to contain. Fans went wild for these two songs, and it was clear that they were having the time of their lives. Even after all those years away from performing live, Hilary Duff still knows how to put on a show that will leave you breathless – and wanting more.
