This is what dreams are made of.
Hilary Duff took the stage for her first concert in more than a decade, treating fans to newer tracks from her upcoming album luck... or something and some of her biggest hits, including a beloved classic that she performed for the very first time. Duff returned to performing live on Monday (January 19) to kick off her Small Rooms, Big Nerves tour at O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire in London, per People.
After performing fan-favorite songs like "Come Clean" and "So Yesterday," Duff ended the set with a rendition of "What Dreams Are Made Of," a track famously featured in the 2003 film The Lizzie McGuire Movie. While there was no Paolo to humiliate in front an Italian crowd with his ex-pop star partner, the audience inside the London venue were there to witness Duff singing the hit live for the first time.
Duff's return to the stage comes 15 years since her last concert. She reflected on her return in an Instagram post after the show, admitting she "still can't quite make sense of it all" nearly 20 years after her last tour.
"I've imagined what it might feel like to return to the stage, but last night was something else entirely. The love, the community, the energy... it met me in a way I wasn't prepared for," she said. "Thank you for walking with me all these years, for celebrating what was while embracing what's becoming. I don't know how I ended up here, but I know I'm exactly where I'm meant to be. Truly what dreams are made of - but real."
