Six Reasons Why You Should See Hilary Duff’s Tour Right Now

Don't Miss Out

From deep cuts to surprise guests, Duff's comeback show basks in millennial magic (just don't forget your butterfly clips)

Don’t ask Hilary Duff about “The Math.” The centerpiece of 2003’s Metamorphosis, it’s a cheeky rocker that conveys a frustrating relationship through mathematical terms — there are minus signs, plus signs, and even a reference to *69, the ye olde service code for a call return.
