This week I decided to post my 1st VLog. I will be doing a lot more of these in the future so keep checking my Official YouTube Channel for more. I’ll have another written blog next week telling you all about Bamboozle =p
Anguilla… it’s one of the most peaceful places on earth. Warm breeze, sun, palm trees, and people who greet u with warmth and love. The people are so kind and I have gotten many hugs here on the island. And there’s really good fish too, yummy! I needed this so bad. Touring is a lot of hard work, but missing my sisters is a killer. So we have a few days all together. Family is everything to me and I am glad I have two sisters who love and yell at me all day long lol. I met some kids from South Africa, and some from Miami and New Jersey. We all went wind surfing and had lunch together. They were so sweet and fun to hang out with!
I am not a big sun person, but I did use plenty of block (70) and managed to do so many water sports. Have any of you ever snorkeled before? It’s my favorite thing to do on vacation. There were so many beautiful fish in the water, some creatures I have never even heard of before! I even saw a barracuda, and I wasn’t even scared
One new thing I did was horseback riding on the beach, this was an amazing experience. This trip is what I needed to inspire me to write some new songs. I am recharged and ready to go! I miss and love you all. I will be back home in time for Easter. If you celebrate Easter or Passover, please have a very peaceful day.
Love from Anguilla,
Tiffany xoxoxo
Columbus
We got in way late last night and had an extremely early show. The bus driver got lost coming to pick us up for the show (lol) so I was pretty rushed this morning. This was one of the best crowds in a while. It was a really nice stage to perform on and there was SOO much energy on the floor. This was a good start to my 2 shows in Ohio.
Cleveland
It was another early show and another amazing crowd. I connected with these students so much. People were actually leaving class to come back and get stuff signed. Another amazing part of this day was getting to visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. There was so much history in the building and it was really humbling experience. There was so much history and I am glad I got to be a part of it.
Detroit
After a few April Fools pranks last night, I finally got to visit DETROIT ROCK CITY!! Another great show and a pretty good Q&A. The students actually mobbed the table when they found out there were autographs. lol. The 8th graders didn’t get to go to the show so I actually hung out with a lot of them after school and we even sat around called Radio Disney. They were all really cool and I think that made their day and hopefully year. Last show of the tour is tomorrow. It has been sooo fun but a break wouldn’t hurt
**BETWEEN DETROIT AND CHICAGO!!
So we were on our way to Chicago and I’m on my laptop when I hear that something is wrong with one of the tires. We get out and SPARKS ARE FLYING from the equipment trailer. We pulled off the next exit and everyone starts panicking and tearing this tire apart and I just tried to make light of it all by playing ukulele and sitting in the bad tire. So by this time it’s night and we are still 3 hours from the show with no tire. We decide to get a hotel in the area. It turns out that the hotel we go to is actually an INDOOR WATER PARK!!! There was like nobody there and we got to run around and basically do whatever we wanted. There was an arcade they opened for us, and we even got to see how they operate the water slides. One wild thing about the park was the millions of animal heads hanging around the hotel. I guess the owner was a really big exotic animal hunter or something. Anyway, a new bus came and picked us up at 6am and took us to Chicago so I could make the show. This just shows that I never want to disappoint anyone!!!
Chicago
Last night was crazy and I can honestly say that the show in Chicago was the best one of all tour. I’m glad we went thru everything to get there. It was a day I won’t forget anytime soon. I love going to the schools where people already made signs and know the words to every song. It makes me feel amazing and those always turn out to be the best shows for me too. This tour has been a great experience and I got to see many new places and meet so many new people. I hope that I made a lot of new fans along the way too. If I came to your school, thank you so much for the support and the great responses. I hope to hear from every single one of you.

Richmond, VA
Back on the road, first stop – Virginia. I don’t know where to start! So we get there and I find out that Young Steff from Atlantic Records was at the school on the SAME DAY! He was also there for a good cause and promoting a better lifestyle to the students so it just made sense that we did the show together. The crowd was really alive and you could tell it was a treat for them to have not 1 but 2 performances. Young Steff’s dancers were really good too. I met his crew and they were all super nice to me. This was an interesting start to the week.
Cary, NC
I actually did 3 shows in 1 day for the students in Cary, North Carolina. I did a show for 6th, 7th and 8th grade. Each group was special in a different way. 8th had WAY more energy than the rest. I took a pic with everyone that had a cell phone or camera. 7th sang the loudest and 6th definitely had the best dancers :p It was a long day but worth meeting a lot of new friends and fans. My hand really does hurt from all of the signing I did.
Charlotte, NC
I started the day by meeting some of the honor students. I got to talk to them personally about music and dedicating yourself to something. I really hope the message got through. The school had a really nice gym and the Q&A after my set was one of my favorite ones I’ve done.
Atlanta, GA
What an amazing venue to play, the school’s gym was like a mini arena! haha! It rained today, I wouldn’t say it ruins a city, but I don’t think you get the full experience. The girls in Atlanta were really nice. Justin TV chat tonight from the road.
Tallahassee, FL
It was still raining today. I had to get up extremely early because I’m flying back to NY for 2 great benefit shows. But I made sure to meet all of the students at the school today. For 9 am, they were still a really loud. We’re driving to the airport in the rain. The wipers on the bus aren’t working that great. And, I even heard a tornado warning on the news this morning!! Wish us luck.
