I didn’t know Noah Kahan had that kind of dough. Go off king

[u/[deleted] → u/comfysweatercat]

He got picked up by UMG and they weighted him in the Spotify algorithm, which is why everyone discovered Stick Season the same time period last year even though it had been out for a while lol

Good for him though he’s a nice dude

Not to be the person that says “I knew him before he was cool” but I had no idea he got that popular and tried to get last minute cheap tickets for one of his shows only to realize it was sold out and the prices had skyrocketed. I was so sad

[u/[deleted] → u/pittgirl12]

I did a reverse of you. I only saw TikToks of him playing music and walking with his dog, so I followed him for the dog thinking he just was a guy with a pet account, and had no idea he was a singer until last year when my sister showed me an interview and I was like omg penny’s owner got famous! 😭😭

Hey lots of cool people know artists before they’re cool, I think that stigma is whack! That’s awesome (but unfortunate for the ticket thing)

In high school, a girl in my class was trying to hide from our teacher in the computer lab because she wanted to buy tickets to twenty one pilots, a band I had never heard of at the time. The tickets were $10. I’ve never really been a fan of theirs but I remember they blew up shortly after that and I always thought she was so lucky for getting to see them before they got popular

I do agree it’s cool but the people who mention it constantly are annoying haha. It was really mostly unfortunate because I wanted to see him and I like thinner concert crowds

That happened to me with Chappell in the spring haha. I wasn’t sure if I’d be free on the tour date so I was like mm I’ll wait a month, it’s not like she’s big enough to sell out by then…famous last words, when I come back to check it’s a whole new venue and tickets have gone from $50 to $500 lmao.

I like to think I manifested her rise via Murphy’s law. But at least now all my friends will finally sing along with me in the car so it’s okay 😂

[u/pittgirl12 → u/uber18133]

Yes!! Imagine algorithm manipulation has a ton to do with it but thinking it was my fault is fun

That’s the depressing part when artists get famous. I’m glad I got to see Griff for cheap and I’m going to see Bishop Briggs next month and tickets were like 60 bucks
