Slap
those dancing shoes on! Miranda
Cosgrove is back on the
road for her Dancing Crazy
Summer Tour—and we just
can’t get enough. If you were lucky enough to catch the iCarly
star when she passed through town this past winter, you’re well
aware that this chica puts on a fabulous show. But there’s even
more surprises in store this go-around.
Miranda’s
not only teaming up with our pal Greyson Chance once again (who kills
it on stage with songs off his new album, Hold
On ’Til The Night), she’s
also whipping out new songs off her EP, High
Maintenance, cool new
colorful costumes and tons of confetti, among many other treats.
We got a
chance to catch Miranda at a recent stop in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania and even in the 120 degree heat, that girl was able to
bring us to our feet from her very first song “Leave It All to Me”.
We couldn’t stop grooving well into the night, but were first able
to take a breather with the beauty backstage (in some nice AC) and
had her spill some big secrets from life on the road this time
around.
Expect
bigger—and better—on this leg of the Dancing Crazy tour. “There's
a lot of stuff that's different. I'm doing a lot of new songs from my
new EP. And I'm still bringing people on stage, but I'm bringing more
people up for even more songs.”
She
hearts “Kiss You Up”. “It's
an acoustic song that starts off with me and my guitar player Andy. I
like that feel of just singing acoustically and having the audience
sing along. It's an intimate moment.”
Her
guitar player likes to keep her on her toes. “In
my song ‘High Maintenance’ there's a line that talks about a guy
breaking a guitar because he thought he was Van Halen. My guitar
player who is singing that part, actually changes that name every
single show, so it's like a surprise. Sometimes he'll say my name or
one of the band members' names. It's just funny being in front of so
many people and have him say this random person's name. He keeps it
fresh.”
She
considers touring her summer camp. “We
have sleepovers on the bus every night and get to know everyone
really well.”
But
she knows keeping in touch with buds, is the key to a lasting
friendship. “I have two
best friends that I’ve [known] forever and I call them on the bus
every day. There’s that whole side of tour where it’s fun to just
let it take you away, but it’s important to also stay [connected].”
