Via screams during her performance of “Feels Bad,” by The Park at The Blue Note on April 4, 2025. “Feels Bad is always my favorite song to perform because I ask the audience to scream with me at the end,” Amos said. “Everyone needs that catharsis as much as I do.” 

Ben Hughes, Junior, poses in the photo studio at Lee Hills Hall in Columbia, Mo on February 18, 2025.

Via shaves her undercut in her bathroom to prepare for the concert at The Blue Note on April 4, 2025. She lives alone and sets up multiple different cameras to do this on her own. “There are positives and negatives to living alone: a negative is having to do things where I can’t see,” Via explained. “I usually re-dye and trim my undercut for performances, and I have been dying it to match my nails.”

My life pretty much centers around my cat Ziggy. For almost a full year, Ziggy had really horrid allergies and lived in this green flower cone the whole time. Luckily, he still looked precious.
