When Devon Gabriella picks up an acoustic guitar, everyone turns to listen in awe. This remained true at her show at Seattle’s 200-capacity Baby Yaga, the third and final stop on Gabriella’s first ever run of headline shows.
The shimmering singer-songwriter Gabriella hails from Los Gatos, where she has cultivated a distinctive sound deeply rooted in acoustic pop music. She’s a musician who has transformed the messiness of growing up into soft and emotionally charged alt-pop. Born in 2001, the rising artist quickly gained attention for her heartfelt songwriting and her calm and captivating stage presence, heavily influenced by artists like Taylor Swift and Kacey Musgraves. Following the success of her breakthrough single, “A Little Hope Never Hurt,” she joined Sombr on tour as an opening act in 2025, further solidifying her growing presence in the music scene. Traveling across North America, Sombr’s Late Nights & Young Romance Tour expanded through Europe, New Zealand and Australia as Sombr and Gabriella’s audience grew rapidly. Fans watched her command the stage as an opening act, and many quickly became eager to experience her artistry again — this time on her own tour.
In late March, Gabriella announced her first-ever headlining tour, kicking things off in San Francisco, before making a stop in Portland, and closing out in Seattle. Walking into Baba Yaga in Seattle, the atmosphere already felt less like a typical concert and more like stepping into a carefully built world of her own. Flowers bloomed across the screen behind the stage, glowing softly above a crowd dressed in flowing skirts, dresses and flower crowns — some even lit from within — giving the room a dreamy, whimsical energy before the first song had even begun.
The audience, made up mostly of fans between mid-teens and early-twenties, matched every lyric with such intensity and passion that the venue felt like everyone had stepped into their own little dream world. Fans were seen singing every lyric back to her, many through tears, completely immersed in the moment. The room radiated with joy as concertgoers embraced every second of the night, visibly grateful to be a part of the final stop of the tour. All through the night, Gabriella had the perfect balance between quiet intimacy and confident stage presence, even sitting down for two songs and asking the crowd if everyone could still see. The crowd — overflowing with smiling faces, radiant feminine energy and pure admiration — made the night truly unforgettable.
Her cover of “I Love You, I’m Sorry” by Gracie Abrams blended so seamlessly into the set, earning one of the loudest reactions of the night as fans screamed every word back to her, further proving the emotional connection her audience holds with both the music and the moment.
One of the highlights of the show was a moment where Gabriella paused to point out a circle of girls dancing and twirling near the back of the room, turning the audience itself into a part of the show’s atmosphere. The entire show was filled with intimate moments between the artist and her fans, creating a climate rooted in love, connection and community. During one of the evening’s most emotional songs, fans slowly lifted white paper hearts into the air as a part of a coordinated fan project, creating a heartfelt surprise for Gabriella on her last tour date.
Between all of the beautiful colors, the sense of girlhood and community throughout the venue, and her ability to make even a packed room feel intimate, the Seattle stop felt like the perfect end of a debut headlining tour that already carries the confidence of something much bigger.
