Hilary Duff is officially in her comeback era and it’s hitting us right in the millennial feelings. This week she kicked off her Small Rooms, Big Nerves tour in London (her first proper live show in years), serving peak nostalgia and a grown-up new chapter in the same set, very much “pop star, but also mum of four who’s lived a whole life since the Y2K days.” Alongside the throwbacks, she’s rolling out new music, including the buzzy single “Roommates” and our personal favourite “Mature” with her upcoming album luck... or something landing 20 February 2026.
