Knowing the high-energy shows she delivers, fans dressed in looks that mirrored her style. They were bold, breathable and built for a night of nonstop dancing, jumping and partying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The vibrant shade popped up everywhere, from accessories to full statement pieces. Lime green tour shirts were paired with miniskirts, distressed pieces, leather, fishnets, glitter, and sequins, adding a playful edge to the already electric scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Incorporating lime green into an outfit is a choice, but fans made it work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">If raving <a>in<\/a> platforms during the concert wasn\u2019t enough, fans kept their energy going at the afterparties. Rooms pulsed with brats dressed in edgy black and silver fits, sunglasses on, as those lime green lights bounced off their lenses. As club classics filled the air, I paused to take in the <em>BRAT<\/em> revolution and its undeniable influence on pop culture, fashion and music. Just like the closing video at the concert said, <em>&#8220;please don\u2019t let it be over.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lime green, leather, mini shorts Brat summer is over?
