“I felt safe,” said Serena Kerrigan, who started a dating show on Instagram Live during the lockdown that has many of her followers asking her for romantic advice. The concert, whose sponsors included the dating app Bumble, was “definitely not a place to meet someone,” she said.
“You were supposed to stay in your zone, not venture off,” she said. “The point was to listen, not flirt.”
Still, after so many months of not hearing live music, the experience was a pleasant distraction, Kerrigan said, and in some ways an improvement over other concerts she’s attended.
“Why didn’t we do this before?” she asked. “Usually we’re sweaty and uncomfortable crammed together and you have to buy expensive drinks.”
