The global superstar's backup singers,dancers and band were all in a room backstage waiting to be allowed on stage. All of them dressed in their outfits and her merchandise. They all sat excitedly waiting for the superstar herself to appear so that the show could finally begin.
The sounds of voices from the stadium outside could be heard from inside the room making them all impatient to get on stage.

Aurora sat in her dressing room getting hair and makeup done whilst doing vocal warm-ups.Her publicist and manager were off to her right discussing something she didn't want to pay mind to tonight.
Her outfit was on a hanger in the corner reflecting the light.
Her assistants came and helped her into her glittery bodysuit and thigh high boots that were extremely extra.
Looking at the large mirror in her dressing room,she took a deep breath before heading out to where her dancers and singers were waiting.

The interlude before the opening song was currently playing as she got on the stage lift with her dancers and singers.
Each checking their own earpieces and shaking off their own stage fright as the crowd went wild.
The lift gently began lifting them up as the instrumentals to 'ghostin' starts to play.

🎶 I know you hear me when I cry
I try to hold it in at night
While you're sleeping next to me
But it's your arms that I need this time (This time)
Look at the cards that we've been dealt
If you were anybody else
Probably wouldn't last a day
Heavy tears, a rain parade from hell (From hell)

Baby, you do it so well
You been so understanding, you been so good
And I'm puttin' you through more than one ever should
And I'm hating myself 'cause you don't want to
Admit that

We'll get through this, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with
A whole lot of baggage
But I love you, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with
A whole lot of baggage, oh yeah

Though I wish he were here instead
Don't want that living in your head
He just comes to visit me
When I'm dreaming every now and then (And then)
And after all that we been through (And after all that we been through)
There's so much to look forward to
What was done and what was said
Leave it all here in this bed with you (With you). 🎶

The show kicked off quickly after that.Every routine,note and feeling she had already memorized from the months of rehearsals.Every outfit change was the funniest scene  as she and her team rushed to change.The light up bracelets made the crowd look enchanting from on stage and the nosebleeds.
Adrenaline

rushed through her as the crowd sang back the words to her.The adorable fans thrashing around with their hands in the air and dancing to the songs freely.
As the show continued,it reached the acoustic session she did at every show. Her dancer passed her guitar to her as she stood on the stage alone.
The dancers all left the stage and lights were dimmed.

The screens were turned off and so were all the equipment visible.
The light up bracelets were a dim blue and a spotlight was above her head.
She began strumming her guitar and playing her songs 'all we know' and 'wherever i live'.

The show ended with her favourite song to perform,'in my head' .As the beat faded out and the lights dimmed the lift went down.She turned to see her dancers and singers hugging and laughing with eachother.
Her backup singer Ashley, pulled her into their group hug as they all screamed in happiness.
The star smiled at her tourmates' behaviours.She looked around smiling looking at all the people backstage being themselves.

The star walked to her dressing room whilst being escorted by her bodyguard. As the door opened,she let out a sigh of relief. The scent of the lit candles flooded her nose and made her smile in delight.Her assistant hands her a robe and sets a large burger on the table.
After changing into her robe,she ate the burger while leisurely scrolling through her phone.As she mindlessly scrolls through her favourite social media app ,Instagram, a someone called.
Staring at the name the contact was saved in her phone,she sighed before picking up.

"Hey dad, what's up?
