For someone who’s been to her fair share of shows, I was quite shocked to have experienced so many firsts. The first time I was welcomed to my seat with a gift. The first time I would see Romanized subtitles provided for every song. The first time I experienced two encores in one night. Then of course the first time IU would perform here in Atlanta. July 19th, IU graced the stage at State Farm Arena for the 2024 HER World Tour. This was more than just a concert, it was a performance. She opened up with 'Holssi' and even though it was only the first song, you could instantly feel the power of her voice and her emotion as she sang. The artist has quite a reputation and to get to experience it live was something straight out of a dream.

She was accompanied by her amazingly talented live band and background dancers throughout the night. Made even more special when she featured local dancers from Atlanta to be a part of the story she shared. Each piece coming together perfectly making everyone in the audience not only hear the story she wanted to tell but feel it too. While the night was coming to an end and the final songs were being sung. It took a moment to capture that exact feeling. The crowd lit up by the thousands of lightsticks in the venue. IU gracing the stage with her amazing vocals. I knew this wasn’t just another concert and I know the fans in the audience felt it too. It may be a while until Atlanta sees IU again, but one thing is for sure. Atlanta will happily wait for her arrival no matter how long it may take because she’s our "Celebrity."
