„I’m not a fame-bitch, I’m fame, bitch. Just a reminder, my name is Shirin David.“- Shirin David Tour
When you look forward to a concert for weeks, you secretly hope that it will be more than „just music.“ That it will sweep you away, surprise you, maybe even change you a little. That was exactly the kind of evening that was for me – Shirin David on her „Schlau aber Blond“ tour.
I was there in Vienna – and yes, I am a fan. But not with a fan shirt and poster on the wall, but in a deeper way: Because I am impressed by her development as an artist and because she manages to combine pop culture, female empowerment and personal stories into a complete package that is unique in the German music game. Between glitter, fire fountains and a packed hall, she showed that she is much more than just a pop star: She is a movement.

Full throttle from second one
From the moment we walked into the Wiener Stadthalle (Hall D, completely sold out!), it was clear: Tonight was going to be loud, colorful, and emotional. The crowd was a wild mix—lots of young people, of course, but also a striking number who were simply up for a great show. Everyone had that certain sparkle in their eyes, many dressed as if they were part of the production themselves. And somehow, we were, too.
When the lights went down, there was a brief moment of complete silence – and then everything exploded. Shirin David came on stage in a short black dress, white blouse, and matching tie, accompanied by a heavy bass and a light show that would have made even Beyoncé proud.
From Barbie to Boss – and back again
What fascinates me about Shirin David is her mix of aesthetics and message. She plays with the Barbie image, but at the same time constantly breaks it down. Songs like „It Girl,“ „Atzen & Barbies,“ and „Babsi Bars“ are not only catchy, but also carry clear messages – about femininity, self-determination, and the absurdity of clichés.
It works even better live. Between songs, she takes time for short monologues, talking about self-love, being a woman in a male-dominated industry, criticism, hate—and the importance of staying true to yourself. No finger-wagging, just honest, sometimes even vulnerable insights. And that’s exactly why it works.
The show? A pop spectacle
Visually, the concert was a dream come true for anyone who celebrates aesthetics. Choreography like something out of a high-end music video, visuals in pink, gold, and silver, LED walls with animated versions of Shirin herself, plus recurring pyrotechnic effects, confetti showers, and a crew that simply delivered.
My highlight? „Lieben wir“ (We Love) – a song that sounds completely different live. Somehow more vulnerable, more honest. The whole venue sang along, and for a moment, it felt like everyone really felt the same. That one small moment of collective „We understand each other.“ Magic.
An evening that lasts
What I took away from this evening: Shirin David knows exactly what she’s doing – artistically, media-wise, and emotionally. She’s perfected the game of image, persona, and genuine message. But she remains human. Approachable, without being fake. Big, without seeming arrogant. Loud, but with depth.
The concert wasn’t just music; it was a statement. About strength, about change, about self-empowerment. And about the courage to be „smart but blonde“ – a contradiction that isn’t one when worn confidently.
My Summary
More than just a fan moment
I left the venue without any merch, but with shining eyes. It wasn’t a hysterical fangirling night—it was an inspiring experience. You don’t have to be a groupie to feel that. You just have to be open to real energy. And that’s exactly what this evening was: real.
The show was a highlight not only musically but also visually. Fire fountains, impressive choreography, and a perfectly coordinated light show made the evening an unforgettable experience. Shirin David proved once again that she is not only a talented musician, but also a strong personality who conveys her messages with passion and authenticity.
Thank you, Shirin – for a show that was more than just entertainment. For glitter with attitude. And for proving that pop can also be smart, strong, and loudly empowering. I’ll definitely be there again next year!
