DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN – MILLENNIAL POP ICON Hilary Duff sold out the Brooklyn Paramount on Tuesday during the third stop on a micro-tour promoting her upcoming sixth album, “Luck… Or Something,” Vulture reports. The one-time Disney Channel star, known for her role as Lizzie McGuire, charmed attendees with nostalgic hits like “What Dreams Are Made Of” and “So Yesterday,” as well as tracks from the new album, which releases Feb. 20; she thanked the crowd for their longtime fandom, and reflected on the long arc of her career.
“It means a whole lot to me that all these years later, these songs mean something to you. We can reminisce and remember the past, and also relate and meet here tonight. I get to sing new songs for you, and hopefully we get to relate on those levels because we’re all adults now,” Duff told the crowd.
