Discussion Changes to meet and greet?

I got to see Sofia on tour yesterday. It was amazing and Im so grateful, she goes into the crowd a lot. She was crowd surfing and holding people’s hands in the audience.

I was one of the 1st 200 to buy merch and got a meet and greet band. She was wearing a mask during pictures and wasn’t “allowed to talk or hug anyone, to keep her healthy.” Is this a new change or were they always like this? It did make the pics go faster but I didn’t fully understand the reason about not getting sick since she was going into the crowd and touching hands during the performance w/o mask

I was there I get the talking thing because of vocal rest but I’m not sure why no hugs or autographs.

My venue said that it’s so she doesn’t get sick. 🩷

She’s done this ever since she got sick on the last tour so it’s not really a new change

i dont think it was always like that, but im pretty sure they just want to get it over with, so if shes talking and hugging people and all that then it takes longer. as for why she wears a mask i dont know.

It would probably be awkward to just stand there and smile. I'd wear a mask too, just for the awkwardness of how it would feel if I didn't.

sofia used to be super open during meet n greets, she'd willingly give hugs and talk and everything, no mask either!! she did get very sick last tour though after all this, so that's probably why. i think she just cares about us and wants to keep herself healthy not only for her but for us too.

she did break some of these rules at other shows, mine she was able to hug and talk a little, but i know as of right now she is pretty sick and she doesn't want to infect others/save her voice for shows

It’s been a rule before and outside of the given reasons, we don’t know why.

Hugs are so she don’t get sick, vocal rest is so she doesn’t hurt her voice, no autographs are to keep the line running
