BOYGEOUS STAR LUCY DACUS DROPS WEDDING BOMBSHELL: SINGER TO OFFICIATE FANS' MARRIAGES AT CONCERTS

The plot thickens in the life of Lucy Dacus, the 30-year-old singer-songwriter behind the indie-folk phenomenon Boygenius. As she prepares to kick off her solo tour, Forever Is A Feeling, in Philadelphia on July 25th, Lucy has revealed a shocking twist: she's willing to marry fans at her concerts.

The news sent shockwaves through social media, with fans eagerly responding to Lucy's Twitter post, where she posed the question: "If I figure out a way to marry people at my shows, are there people who would be interested?" The response was overwhelmingly enthusiastic, prompting Lucy to share more details on how these impromptu weddings could work.

According to Lucy, she has already been ordained and possesses the necessary legal powers to perform ceremonies. In a move that's both surprising and intriguing, Lucy offered to officiate marriages for free, citing that fans may be hesitant due to logistical or financial constraints.

"I'm officiated in the U.S., only a few cities on this tour may not be possible," she explained on her website. "All the info is at the website, including how to get your marriage license by state." Lucy revealed that couples would need to bring their marriage license to the box office and return it by the end of the show.

The news has left fans speculating about the possibilities of these wedding ceremonies, with many wondering if this could become a regular occurrence during her concerts. As one fan pointed out on social media: "This is like something straight out of a movie!"

Lucy's willingness to officiate weddings comes as no surprise to those familiar with her outspoken and unconventional approach to life and music. As a member of Boygenius, Lucy has built a reputation for being unafraid to speak her mind and tackle sensitive topics in her lyrics.

However, this development has also sparked questions about the logistics of these impromptu weddings. How will Lucy navigate the complexities of marriage ceremonies while on tour? And what kind of couples will be eligible for these special ceremonies?

Lucy's decision to offer free wedding services has also raised eyebrows among some industry insiders. "This is a marketing stunt, plain and simple," said one source close to the music industry. "She's trying to create buzz around her tour by offering something that no other artist has ever done before."

Despite the skepticism, Lucy remains committed to her vision of hosting wedding ceremonies at her concerts. As she explained on Twitter: "I can think of all sorts of reasons people may be interested in securing the rights granted through marriage (you know what I mean?), so if you've had it in mind forever or are just recently making the decision, I will be honored to do the honors!"

Lucy's Forever Is A Feeling tour kicks off on July 25th and will take her to cities across North America. With her willingness to officiate weddings adding an extra layer of excitement to the experience, fans can expect a truly unforgettable show.

A SONG ABOUT HER: TAYLOR SWIFT'S NEW TRACK MENTIONING LUCY DACUS

Lucy is touring solo rather than with her Boygenius' bandmates Phoebe Bridgers and Julien Baker, and will first take to the stage in Philadelphia on Friday night

In a fascinating twist, Lucy's name was recently mentioned in Taylor Swift's new song, The Tortured Poets Department. According to Lucy, she received a text message from Taylor herself, asking for her approval before including her name in the track.

"I think it's fair game to say 'yes'," Lucy told People magazine. "She actually texted me and asked for my approval." The lyrics of the song allude to a complicated relationship between Taylor and Matty Healy, 35, who runs in the same circles as Lucy.

Lucy revealed that she was initially surprised to hear her name mentioned in the song. "This is the first Taylor record to come out since meeting her, and listening to a friend's record feels so much different than a stranger's record," she explained. "So I was like, 'This is really weird. This voice that I've heard basically what feels like my whole waking life saying my name.'"

The news comes after Lucy confirmed to People that she is the 'Lucy' in Taylor Swift's 2024 song, The Tortured Poets Department (both pictured last year)

The lyrics of The Tortured Poets Department have sparked speculation about the meaning behind Taylor's song. With Lucy and Matty both featured prominently in the track, fans are left wondering if this is a nod to their own complicated past.

A HEATED TWITTER SPAT: LUCY DACUS AND MATTY HEALY

Lucy's decision to officiate weddings has also sparked memories of her heated Twitter spat with Matty Healy last year. After Matty made some comments about Lucy and Phoebe Bridgers' indie group Boygenius, Lucy responded bluntly on social media: "You don't hear from me at all."

The exchange was widely reported in the media, with many fans expressing disappointment that the two musicians couldn't resolve their differences. However, it seems that Lucy has put the drama behind her and is now focused on her music and her upcoming tour.

A STAR ON THE RISE: LUCY DACUS' JOURNEY TO FAME

Lucy Dacus has come a long way since releasing her debut EP Girls Girly Back Home in 2012. With her introspective lyrics and soaring melodies, Lucy quickly gained a following among indie-folk fans.

Her breakthrough came with the release of her first full album No Burden in 2016, which received widespread critical acclaim. Since then, Lucy has released two more critically acclaimed albums, Historian (2018) and Home Video (2021).

Lucy's success as a solo artist has also led to her forming the supergroup Boygenius with Phoebe Bridgers and Julien Baker in 2018. The trio's self-titled EP was widely praised by critics and fans alike.

In recent years, Lucy has continued to push boundaries and experiment with new sounds in her music. With her upcoming tour and willingness to officiate weddings adding an extra layer of excitement to the experience, Lucy Dacus is undoubtedly one of the most exciting and innovative artists on the scene today.
