Meet Maddie Zahm, one of America's most exciting new pop acts, with her debut album 'Now That I've Been Honest' out now. She launched onto the scene when her fan-favorite single "Fat Funny Friend" galvanized TikTok and became an empowering anthem for people experiencing fat phobia, societal pressure and body dysmorphia. The single came from her 2022 EP You Might Not Like Her, which shared Maddie's story of leaving her hometown of Boise, ID where she was a worship leader at the tender age of 13, and eventually moving to Los Angeles where she came out as queer and did a lot of living to catch up fast. The EP was a beacon for many listeners, who have flocked to Maddie's highly personal songwriting and powerhouse voice. Those fans - who sold out her North American tour in Spring 2023, and make up Maddie's 175 million streams, her million fans on TikTok, and her 3 billion views and 250k videos created on TikTok set to "Fat Funny Friend" - quickly became a community.

Maddie was a treat i will definitely see again. Very powerful singer
Maddie Zahm is beautiful and talented and this was the best concert ever!
Maddie was amazing. Her energy and crowd interaction was so fun! She had a great mix of her sad songs and fun breakup songs!
Imagine the person who wrote your favorite trauma songs that help you therapeutically, imagine them singing it right in your eye balls. I will never have another moment that can top that. She was glorious and stunning!
So the venue itself was a standing one which was horrible if you have VIP tickets you’re basically standing for 6 hours I felt like I was at work. The opener was on stage for 45 minutes which is way too long in my opinion it should have been a 20 minute set like it was when I went to Taylor Swift. The VIP experience overall to me wasn’t worth it she sang only two songs then immediately went into a Q and A session which to me could have been done over TikTok or something because it didn’t feel like a good use of time considering I paid more than double for the experience. Then the two songs she did perform that I thought were going to be special she ended up performing it for the regular crowd during the concert. That was a huge disappointment what was the point of ViP if you’re just going to sing the songs for everyone else anyway. Throw that in with the group of people ahead of me in a standing venue who kept sharting the whole time with the fact that I had been standing for about 8 hours by the time she finally came on stage it was a lackluster experience. I would recommend ppl not to buy the VIP it was not worth the money. The poster that came with the VIP experience was also blurry. While I love her music based on the crowd, the standing, and the ViP experience I think I’ll pass on another concert of hers.
Maddie Zahm seemed to be sick as she mentioned she needed help from the audience and she was drinking tea throughout the show. That being said, I absolutely still loved her. I had some pitch issues myself preparing for a high note and she altered the songs to be lower due to her throat but still sounded amazing. My fiance and I listen to her music and he said he actually liked her sick better haha. I absolutely loved both versions! I am so happy Maddie added Texas to her tour and even more so when she still put on an amazing show despite feeling under the weather. Oh and I fell in love with her opener Leanna Firestone. I had never heard her music before but I absolutely loved her soul. her voice and her songs so are so raw and real that I truly appreciated her honesty. She was so fun to sing with and even though I did not know her songs, Leanna made it a point to help teach the audience before playing the song so we could all have a good time. 100% would go again if I could!
Maddie outs on a great show, I didn’t want it to end
ICONIC. she was amazing and it was wonderful to be able to see her live!
Loved it! So much fun! Glad I went, both Maddie and Leanna were fantastic.
