Did you go to Ashlee Simpson Ross’ residency? Let us know in the comments.
Ashlee Simpson: Hey, Billboard, it’s Ashlee Simpson Ross, and you are here with me on stage at Voltaire at the Venetian in Las Vegas.
Tetris Kelly: Ashlee Simpson was a shining star in Vegas during her highly acclaimed I Am Me residency. We take you to the strip on stage with the pop star in Billboard All Access.
Ashlee Simpson: I felt like it was time for me to come back to stage. I feel like this was a love story for my fans and a love story to myself. You know, my kids have always not really seen this part of me, and it was something I really wanted to share with the world and kind of just relive. It’s been 20 years since my first album, and after celebrating that, I just had this itch to get back on stage and have this moment with my fans, and it’s so beautiful and so vulnerable, and it’s just lovely venue. And to relive these songs has been incredible.
Tetris Kelly: The Voltaire at the Venetian in Las Vegas was the home of this magical night where every night of the residency, fans lined up in excitement for the show, and they also lined up for the merch, as they grab swag for their best night ever.
Ashlee Simpson: There has truly been nothing better than the first show and just seeing my fans’ faces and getting to interact and seeing the excitement of these songs, you know, 20 years later, and everyone’s energy — it just felt so incredible. I mean, I could feel their energy. They could feel mine, and we were all feeding off of each other.
Tetris Kelly: And she meant that. I literally ended up on stage. I will cherish these photos forever. Thank you, Ashlee.
Keep watching for more!
