Postcards: Tkay Maidza’s US tour diary

Featuring the Governors Ball, Lil Yachty, and Tina Belcher

This was taken at 2am at the 125th street subway stop. The second day of Governers Ball, despite me being alone in this photo…. I wasn’t really happy with the amount of people that were around. Harlem, NYC.

LIL BOAT. He’s wild. Hang Out Festival, Gulf Shores Alabama.

Went to the aquarium in Toronto, Ive always been so infatuated with seeing new species of fish Ive never seen & the calming effect that aquariums give you. Toronto, Canada.

We played at a festival harvard and I saw Majid Jordan play for the first time! You cant sit with me. Boston Calling, Boston.

My two favourite photos from NYC. Just before playing Govenors Ball. My friend designed my orange outfit with the cut out pants. So obsessed. On the right is me singing something meaningful (jks) supporting Tove Lo. NYC.

I don’t dance, I make money moves. NYC.

At the Charli XCX/Tove Lo afterparty. Stay sick. Brooklyn, NYC.

When you see anything from Bobs Burgers you obsess over it and take a photo. Govenors Ball, NYC.

Went to Jamaica, shot something cool, I also made a friend, his name is Grizzly Bear. He insisted I call him Grizzly. Kingston, Jamaica.

Poor Tiger. Govenors Ball, NYC.

Basically me the whole tour. But I love it. I’m proud of this photo. Boston Calling, Boston.

After dropping her debut album TKAY late-last year Tkay Maidza decided to lean in to the momentum rather than take some well-deserved time to chill. She quickly signed on for a massive US tour that included some of the biggest festivals going around, including the hugely influential Governors Ball. While having the time of her life in the States she shot a bunch of photos on film and was generous enough to share them with us.
