Phoebe Bridgers Says She's 'Slightly Terrified' About Going On Tour
By Katrina Nattress
August 30, 2021
Before heading out on her Reunion Tour (which was recently changed to all outdoor venues), Phoebe Bridgers stopped by the Comedy Bang! Bang! podcast to chat with host Scott Aukerman about a list of topics including her album Punisher, the backlash she received for smashing her guitar on Saturday Night Live, the person she would love to piss off most (spoiler alert: it's Kid Rock), and how she feels about hitting the road this fall for the first time in two years.
“I am slightly terrified, to be real, because I did it for three years straight really before the pandemic, and I got really good at it," Bridgers explained before getting sidetracked. When the topic once again arose, she continued: “The weirdest part about this experience is you put out a record normally and you’re immediately on tour. It’ll have been two years since we played a show when we start playing. I’ve also been wearing a skeleton costume like every day of my life for two years. I’m so done.”
For this tour, she'll be wearing the designer skeleton costume made for her SNL performance, but she's only got one and admitted she's going to "smell like a trash can."
