“It Was All A Blur” for the sake of a pun, but the night I spent at Madison Square Garden watching Drake live was truly unforgettable.On Wednesday, July 26, I had the honor of spending my first MSG concert in a VIP suite, with the best, unobstructed views of the “Certified Lover Boy” plus comfortable seating, food, drinks and a swift security check in. This made a huge difference for me, as it was my first time enjoying live music where I didn’t need to shuffle shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers — although, this crowd brought the energy and no-doubt the floor would have been a hype experience to say the least — and struggle to see over the taller patrons that always seem to get ahead of me.

Kardashian then says, “Yep, I saw it on the internet.” The song’s lyrics are standard Drake fare about the travails of being a rich superstar looking for love: “I need someone to be patient with me/ Someone to get money with, not take it from me/ Look, they don’t even need to be as famous as me/ I don’t think I’ll meet them at the places I be,” raps Drake for the song’s chorus.
