Florence once fainted on stage in 2015. She got up, drank some water, and sang “Shake It Out” with even more gusto. The woman is a human tornado.
Toronto's Best Rated
Her song “Dog Days Are Over” was originally written about a breakup with a therapist. Yes, really. Next time you scream that chorus, remember you are yelling about mental health progress. It’s beautiful.
She also has a tattoo of a sun on her hand. It’s not magical. It’s just cool. But it feels magical when she waves at the crowd.
What to Wear (Please Don’t Be Boring)
This is not a jeans-and-t-shirt affair. You are attending a pagan ritual with good lighting. Go thrift a velvet cape. Find a flower crown. Wear something that makes you feel like a forest fairy who just got evicted from a castle.
Be prepared to dance like nobody is watching—because they will be watching. They’ll be too busy jumping to care, anyway. You’ll all look ridiculous and glorious together.
Don’t forget comfortable shoes. Florence might be barefoot, but you will regret wearing platforms after the third drum solo. Your feet will hate you. Listen to your feet.
