鈥淲hy not take a crazy chance? Why not do a crazy dance? Why not go crazy?鈥�

Those lyrics from Hilary Duff鈥檚 鈥淲hy Not鈥� felt like the unofficial theme of the night at her performance Thursday at First Financial Credit Union Amphitheater.

Duff brought her 鈥淟ucky Me鈥� tour to the Duke City, where she was welcomed by generations of fans.

As concertgoers filled their seats and the lawn 鈥� packed by the end of the night 鈥� one thing became clear: the dress code was pink, purple, lime green and plenty of sparkle.

Many outfits paid tribute to the early 2000s, with several nods to the iconic duo of Lizzie McGuire and Isabella Parigi from 鈥淭he Lizzie McGuire Movie.鈥�

As someone born in 2003, I was on the younger side during Duff鈥檚 Disney Channel heyday. Fortunately, my millennial sisters made sure I was well educated on her catalog. In fact, my sister, Whitney Secor, was so jealous I was attending the concert that I bought her a tour shirt as a consolation prize.

Going in, I knew Duff鈥檚 earlier work well and had a basic understanding of her newer music thanks to my sisters. In February, Duff released her first album in more than a decade, 鈥淟uck... or Something,鈥� and announced the accompanying 鈥淟ucky Me鈥� tour.

New Mexico was initially absent from the tour schedule, but Albuquerque was added later that month, much to the excitement of local fans.

Concertgoers Brianna Chavez and Cameron Chavez originally planned to see Duff in another city.

鈥淲e actually bought tickets for Phoenix before she announced the show,鈥� Cameron Chavez said. 鈥淭hen we sold them because she was coming here. We were like, 鈥榃ell, she鈥檚 coming home.鈥欌��

Decked out in sparkles and butterflies, the pair said their theme for the night was Y2K glamour, and they were especially excited to hear favorites like 鈥淪o Yesterday.鈥�

Before Duff took the stage, openers Jade LeMac and La Roux energized the crowd with distinctly different but equally engaging sets.

La Roux closed with 鈥淏ulletproof,鈥� sending the audience into a singalong that perfectly set the stage for Duff鈥檚 entrance.

The stage featured a multilevel pink set and a disco ball suspended above it. While the design itself was relatively simple, projections and video interludes created an immersive experience. During Duff鈥檚 four costume changes, montages featuring clips from her Disney years, childhood home videos and scenes from her life as a mother of four kept the audience entertained.

If I had to sum up Duff鈥檚 90-minute performance in three words, they would be nostalgia, growth and joy.

The show included plenty of callbacks to her Disney era, from the iconic Disney wand introduction to a projected bar named 鈥淟izzie鈥檚.鈥� But rather than simply revisiting the past, Duff balanced nostalgia with the story of who she has become 鈥� a 38-year-old performer, wife and mother returning to music after more than a decade away.

One montage featured the line, 鈥淓mbrace the future, taking the next little steps wiser or something,鈥� a sentiment that seemed to capture the spirit of the evening.

Duff connected with the audience throughout the night, including one of my favorite moments, when she walked onstage wearing socks, jeans and a vintage Spice Girls T-shirt before settling onto a couch. She spoke about how meaningful it was to perform the music that shaped her while looking out at the people she had, in turn, influenced.

Many longtime fans brought their own children. Parents danced, sang and swayed alongside their kids, creating some of the night's sweetest moments.

Watching children dance with pure excitement while their parents smiled beside them made it clear that Duff鈥檚 music now spans generations.

Fans like sisters Camila and Victoria Costa have been listening to Duff since the beginning.

鈥淗ilary Duff鈥檚 鈥楳etamorphosis鈥� was the very first CD I ever owned,鈥� Camila Costa said.

One of my favorite parts of any concert is hearing a crowd sing every word, and this audience did not disappoint. From the front row of the pit to the back of the lawn, fans sang and danced without hesitation.

The 21-song setlist offered something for everyone, blending beloved hits with deeper cuts. But the highlight of the night was Duff herself.

She brought infectious energy to every moment onstage. The performance was more than a concert; it was a celebration of where she has been, where she is now and the fans who have grown up alongside her.

It was, in every sense, 鈥淲hat Dreams Are Made Of.鈥�
