Famous American singer, actress, and author, Hilary Duff, revived Lizzie McGuire with an intense live performance in London. She delighted her thousands of fans in London as she returned to her musical roots.
Hilary Duff performed a beloved song from her Disney era for the first time in more than a decade. The singer and actress closed her January 19 concert with What Dreams Are Made Of, the iconic track from The Lizzie McGuire Movie, sparking an enthusiastic response from the crowd and igniting widespread online praise.
A nostalgic finale electrifies the audience
Duff headlined the London show with a setlist packed with fan favourites, including Wake Up and Come Clean. However, the emotional peak arrived when she launched into What Dreams Are Made Of as her final number. Audience members sang along as she delivered the nostalgic performance, creating a moment that quickly spread across social media platforms.
Many fans described the performance as a cultural throwback that connected their childhood memories to her present-day artistry. The performance also marked the first time Duff officially revived the track on stage, giving longtime supporters a moment they had waited years to experience.
Ownership issues kept the song off previous tours
Duff previously explained why she avoided performing the song for so long. During a November appearance on the Therapuss with Jake Shane podcast, she revealed that she did not own the rights to What Dreams Are Made Of, which prevented her from including it in past live shows.
She told listeners that she hoped circumstances might change if she ever toured again, suggesting that she could “somehow, someway” manage to sing the song. Her London performance now confirms that she has fulfilled that hope, and fans celebrated the moment as a symbolic reclaiming of her musical legacy.
Hilary Duff is also releasing her first studio album _ Luck or Something_. It will be her first studio album since 2015. She plans to extend her Small Rooms, Big Nerves Tour to Canada and the United States in the days ahead.
