16 fucking years of One Direction!!! Blows my mind. Thank you for changing all our lives and the love and passion you all still show is unmatched! Tonight’s going to be a special show.
Spending the rest of the day listening to all the bangers and reminiscing! Thank you for all the memories.
And to my brother I Miss you every day but especially on days like today. I know we’d have been celebrating today together!
And now here we our about to start the third tour. I’ve got a really really good feeling about this. That’s not some bullshit marketing ploy to make you come to the show, I genuinely haven’t ever felt this assured about the show we’re about to put on. If you’re reading this and you’re a fan, don’t underestimate your importance in how I feel professionally. Now if I’m real with myself I’m sure there will be a few moments where I get in my own head but after all these years I feel so protected by you all in those spaces. I literally can’t fucking wait for these shows.
Will it be a performance worthy of a vocal Olympian? No
Will it be the best selling show of the year? No
Will it be a show with numerous lyric sheets on stage like we’re in the stone age before autocue? Maybe
What it will be though is a moment for all of us to celebrate how far we’ve all come. Diary entries over. Just wanted to update you on what was going on in my head.
@Louis_Tomlinson Hey Louis, can i ask you something? When you go on that stage, i want you to look at the crowd and take a moment to yourself to see how far YOU have come and appreciate that moment.
@Louis_Tomlinson@cloudscrolls been listening to side by side while reading your tweets. thank you for always being so vulnerable with us, you have no idea how much i treasure the love, gratitude and trust you have for us. i love you so much louis, keep growing darling, we’ll always be by your side<3
@Louis_Tomlinson It takes real guts to be this honest with millions of strangers about negative and self critical thoughts !! It’s easy to only share the victories lol I admire you so much and I can’t wait for tour ❤️❤️❤️
The 2nd tour had a different energy about it. I felt much more assured in the music in an album that was literally designed for the live show but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have some nights where I questioned myself. About midway through that tour I remember metaphorically looking in the mirror and saying to myself that I needed to allow myself the success and the idea of being capable on my own. Gratitude is an incredible feeling but also comes with its own pressure, I wanted so much to deliver for you all every night and wasn’t allowing myself room for error. That momentum shift was really important for me. The last show of that tour absolutely blew my fucking mind, it gave me room to reflect on how far I’d come. Never did I imagine WE’D be able to achieve this
My first tour was so fucking terrifying to me and maybe because I was pretty hard on myself, weird little paradox every night of feelings the adrenaline and the love of the crowd all the while scolding myself in my head. I had some incredible shows that tour and proved a lot to myself but still it was a tough one mentally
