Hilary Duff is returning to the magical world of pop with the boldest and most self-assured project yet. After rising to fame with the Disney Channel blockbuster series “Lizzie McGuire,” she returned to the Los Angeles stage with a sold-out performance at The Wiltern. That was the last stop of her “Small Rooms, Big Nerves” tour and her first headlining show in the city in over a decade.

The set balanced nostalgia and reinvention, featuring fan favorites like “So Yesterday” and “Come Clean” alongside new material, including “Mature” and “Roomates,” with unreleased songs from her upcoming album, luck…or something, arriving February 20.
Duff brought fans onstage during “With Love” to reenact the viral dance from her “Today Show” performance. Three fans, including Mitchell Gerrard Johnson, were given t-shirts spelling out “WORLD TOUR LOADING…” Watch video HERE.

The night concluded in a confetti-filled encore of “What Dreams Are Made Of,” with the feeling of nostalgia hitting everyone in the audience. As the fans were exiting the show, they were met with one final surprise: a disco ball revealed during the encore, featuring the message “more to come” alongside a QR code sending her fans straight to her website — see HERE. This hints at the next chapter of Duff’s life. “Small Rooms, Big Nerves” offered fans an intimate reintroduction to Duff’s live presence, setting the stage for what’s next. Watch HERE.
