Thoughts From A Champagne Mami To Help You Decide If It's Worth Attending.

A Rundown Of The Drake: Summer Sixteen Tour Featuring Future
Natalia Wan

Just this past Friday was Drake's Summer Sixteen Tour in Tacoma, Washington. Personally, the Tacoma Dome isn’t the greatest place for big concerts such as this one, but hey, what can you do?

Merchandise

Alright, let’s start off with the merchandise that was being sold at the show. The main t-shirts I saw people wearing and buying were these all black tees with orange lettering that said, "Revenge," on the front and "Summer Sixteen" on the back. There was another shirt that was all white and had the praying hands with a six above it, but I didn’t think either was worth the price tag of $45. To be honest, it was pretty underwhelming for someone who is dating Rihanna.


Openers

The concert was supposed to start at 6:30 p.m, but of course that was a lie. Concerts never start on time, so I don’t actually know why I was surprised when it didn't start right at 6:30. It wasn't until about 7:30 p.m. until the first act came on, which was Roy Woods. If you don’t know who that is, he sings a song called "Drama." You’ve probably heard of it — at least I hope so because it's a great song. Woods came out on stage in an all-white suit and you could tell he was feelin’ himself because he was dancing like crazy and was just having a great time on stage. His performance was alright though. According to a random drunk girl that was next to me, she said she would have rather had Jojo open because she has better songs that people can actually sing to. I somewhat agreed. Although Roy Woods’ songs were good; they were more mellow and chill. Usually people want to get pumped for a show with more upbeat bangers, but again, what can you do?

DVSN, who was the second act came on at about 8:15 p.m. DVSN’s songs were more on the mellow side as well. One song you might know of his is "Hallucinations." I’d say that he was better than Roy Woods because his songs were more upbeat and fun. He sang a cover of Michael Jackson’s Billy Jean and it was amazing. Those are the kind of sing-along songs that get the crowd going. After DVSN finished his set, it was all a waiting game from there. It wasn’t until 10 p.m. when Drake finally came on stage.


Main Act

The opening song of the tour was of course "Summer Sixteen." Fireworks came out of nowhere and Drake emerged from under the stage. It was LIT. The crowd was live and everyone was singing and dancing. Further into the concert, Drake stepped into a cage that took him up and over the crowd while he serenaded us all with "Hold On, We’re Going Home." In the center of the arena, colorful light up balloons were bobbing up and down above the crowd. It was mesmerizing. After Drake played a few songs, Future came out to take the stage, and can I just say he really did f**k up some commas in the Tacoma Dome. The crowd jammed out to "Low Life," "Jumpman" and "Where Ya At." More fireworks boomed and flames shot out from the stage, which sparked more excitement in the crowd. Drake came back out to finish off the show and even took a shot of tequila on stage.


Overall Thoughts

AMAZING. Despite the late start to the show, I had the time of my life. Drake and Future definitely knew how to get the crowd going. The fireworks, lights, and all the effects were really well done. I highly recommend getting tickets if they ever roll up to a city near you.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
