Why G & Abby Made Out on Stage at Brandi’s GJWW!
2/5/202637 min
What really happened at Girls Just Wanna Weekend? (Short answer: joy, gyrations, no restraint.) Glennon and Abby take you inside Brandi Carlile’s Mexico gathering—a wildly safe, queer weekend beaming with music, connection, and collective joy. They unpack their now-iconic onstage “Come to My Window” performance (there were lifts), how rehearsals accidentally became couples therapy, and why joy, sexuality, and community aren’t distractions from this moment—but acts of resistance. Plus: the magic of Titans of Americana, where Brandi shared the stage with her legendary idols and Tish—bridging generations and honoring the past while lifting up what’s next.

Okay, thank you to Brandi for bringing this sensation to the planet. And for all those who celebrate, you know that it was a few weeks ago now, and I thought that we could all learn what happened, those of us who were back home shivering and being sad in our hearts that we were not there. Together, we can find out from Glennon and Abby how Girls Just Wanna... Wanted. [laughing] Girls Just Wanna? How did you want? What Do Girls Just Wanna?
