I definitely remember watching their earliest music videos on the Family Channel (Canadian version of the Disney Channel, basically) - like Poor Unfortunate Souls, SOS, Year 3000. I remember my mom coming home with their self-titled album for us when it came out. I also remember being on the family desktop computer and just googling everything I could about them and then to my surprise, I found out that Nick was a Type One Diabetic like me, after watching him at that event where he announced he was a diabetic for the first time. That just elevated my love for them, and for Nick especially, of course. It was the first time I ever could comprehend that someone I already looked up to could have a clue about what it felt like to deal with the chaos of living with diabetes just like I did.

Honestly, I would have to say their comeback Happiness Begins tour was the highlight for me. It was the first time I was able to see them as a like functioning adult, you know what I mean? All of the concerts I had been to prior, I needed a ride there from my dad because I couldn't drive at the time, I was way too young and way too broke to see them in concert several times in one tour, but for this tour, my sister and I just decided to go ALL out. We saw them 5 times in 2019 - in Toronto, Detroit, Grand Rapids, back to Toronto in the fall, and then took a terrible, very long overnight bus ride from Toronto to Montreal where we squeezed a couple hours of sleep in at our hotel and then rushed to the venue to get in line for pit. It just felt like we were finally living out our fangirl dreams together! We met so many amazing people and had such a fun time. We sat floor, pit, and B stage for every show too which was the BEST. We had never, ever had seats like that before! I also splurged and bought meet and greet in Grand Rapids which was an incredible experience. I had met them back in 2010 prior to that after I won a Twitter contest and got free meet and greets, but I was 13 years old and so dorky and awkward, I wanted to redeem myself at the Happiness Begins tour, so I did!

I've seen them 8 times in concert + NJ&TA once too!

I was in grade 11 at the time and I honestly think I blacked it out in my mind. I remember being excited because I was pretty sure they were going to be releasing more tour dates soon for the second part of their Live Tour in 2013, but then that was scrapped which was a huge bummer, but I never ever would've expected them to completely break up. It was heartbreaking to say the least. I recall seeing the news on Twitter while I was in the school cafeteria I'm pretty sure and I'm pretty sure my friends probably made fun of me and my absolute devastation!

I remember being at my first "big girl" job and trying to hard to remain professional. I worked at a front desk but everything was like blowing up on my phone. I was so excited. I felt like I was 13 years old again. Little did I know, I would end up following them on their soon to be announced tour and meeting them again all in the same year! What a whirlwind. I would do anything to go back to 2019!

Definitely the earlier tours, like the Hannah Montana Tour or the Burnin' Up Tour or the WYLMITE tour? Iconic. If you were at either of those tours, I am so jealous of you. I remember seeing the 3D movie and being so envious of everyone who got to experience that tour live! The foam cannons? Preteen Carlie would've done anything to have been super soaked with a foam cannon by a Jonas Brother.
