FLETCHER is closing out the year on her own terms. The acclaimed queer singer-songwriter announced two intimate, one-night-only performances this December, December 4 at Brooklyn Paramount in New York and December 7 at The United Theater on Broadway in Los Angeles.
The special shows will revisit her decade-long career while reimagining fan favorites with a string section and full band. Tickets go on sale Friday, Oct. 24 at 10 a.m. local time.
The concerts arrive alongside an extended edition of her third studio album, Would You Still Love Me If You Really Knew Me?, out this Friday. The expanded release includes two new tracks, including the cinematic “Hail Mary,” which moves from a stark, layered vocal intro into a soaring piano-driven plea for reconnection.
“This album was made in the most special, simple, and intimate way,” FLETCHER said. “I wanted to capture that intimacy and intentionality on a stage for a one-night-only experience to honor the fans, to honor this album, and to honor the year in a celebratory performance.”
Released in July through Capitol Records, Would You Still Love Me If You Really Knew Me? has been praised by Rolling Stone, Billboard, Elle, and OUT as her most emotionally daring project yet. The extended version was co-produced with GRAMMY winner Jennifer Decilveo and follows the artist’s sold-out In Search of the Antidote tour earlier this year.
Opening Up About Fluidity
While the album reflects on love, loss, and self-acceptance, FLETCHER is also peeling back another layer of her identity. In a recent interview with Them, she revealed she has fallen in love with a man, an admission that came with both vulnerability and fear.
“I’m cycling through some of the same feelings I felt when I came out 10 years ago,” she said. “Shame, guilt, fear, anxiety, and wondering how people are going to react. But I also know my only obligation in this lifetime is to wholeheartedly show up for myself and create a safe space for myself, and hopefully that creates space for others to do the same.”
For an artist whose work has often been associated with “sapphic chaos,” this new chapter signals growth rather than contradiction. “Even if somebody did identify a specific way for a very long time, you’re allowed to evolve, you’re allowed to grow, you’re allowed to change,” she said. “That’s something I’d love to see more grace for in the community.”
Finding Peace in Change
FLETCHER also spoke about how a Lyme disease diagnosis shifted her relationship with herself, her career, and her music. That introspection, she said, opened her heart to new experiences, ones that didn’t fit neatly into the expectations others had for her.
“As I started having these different experiences, I asked myself: Would people still love me if they really knew me now?” she said. “I love every version that I’ve been, all of the chaos, all of the women that I’ve been. But I’m not the same person I was 10 years ago, and I’m happy about that.”
Her willingness to embrace change mirrors what her new performances promise: vulnerability without spectacle, honesty without apology. In an era where queer artists are often boxed in by the narratives that once defined them, FLETCHER is choosing to evolve in public, inviting fans to meet her wherever she is now.
