A sea of young adults wearing bedazzled pink cowboy hats and black lace outfits braved the cold outside Boston’s Roadrunner on March 6, eagerly awaiting TikTok musician Nessa Barrett’s Boston installment of her “young forever” tour, named after her first album.
Barrett, a rising social media star, has over 13 million followers across her platforms, a grand launching point for her original music—often described as alternative pop-rock with heavy electric guitar and pop chorus.
Her debut single “pain” kicked off her music career in 2020, and has amassed more than 150 million times on Spotify. Following the hit, she signed a deal with Warner Records. On Feb. 25, Barrett kicked off her tour, leaving fans eagerly anticipating her live performances as she travels the country performing “young forever.”
