Run the World
It was no secret that during the first quarter of 2014 the industry was dead, so bringing back Habbo's most active, loved, and critically acclaimed agency was on one person's mind. Eva decided that it was time the industry had got back on it's two feet and she recruited the 2011 face of SIA, Gaga turned Beyonce, to help her. Together they produced Habbo's most iconic and visually appealing debut, Run the World. With the help of SIA 2011 owner, Fiona-Croft, they shocked the audience and a new era had started.
SIA Radio 1's Big Weekend 2014
Right after the highly produced SIA 2014 comeback show, Run the World, we quickly came back with the first festival of the year. It was a three-day event that peaked 50 on all nights through 2-3 hours of live Habbo entertainment. Friday saw headliner Justin Timberlake with openers Katy Perry and Selena Gomez. Saturday saw headliner Britney Spears with opener Kanye West. The last day on Sunday saw headliner Lady Gaga with openers Pink and Drake.
SIA Glastonbury 2014
Once again, one event after another, SIA kicked off another 3-day festival with Glastonbury 2014. The huge pyramid roof shocked Habbo's because of how distinct it was. This was another jam-packed audience event with 50 on all three days. Opening the first day was Ariana Grande with headliner Beyonce. On the second day we had Rita Ora, Carmen Fierce, with headliner Drake along with special guest Nicki Minaj. The second day was controversial for Rita Ora who dramatically flopped. Finally we had Lana Del Rey with headliner Bruno Mars.
SIA's Capital FM Summertime Ball
With SIA announcing that customs would be signed for the first time ever, they quickly started to take over. SIA had no choice but to host an all custom event, showcasing their performance abilities to Habbo. Barelly hitting 50, the 2-day festival proved to be successful due to the distinct stage and performers. On the first day we had Gemma Monroe, Gia Gunn, Reunion, and drooseph, along with headliner Bre Chandler. On the final day we had Valentine, MsCamaraderie, CheetahBear and, filling in for Carmen Fierce, headliner Miley Cyrus.
The 2014 Billboard Music Awards
With three festivals right after another, and successful solo shows from signed artists, it was time to recognize the talent in SIA and reward our artists with our first award show of the year! Ariana Grande opened the awards, with Selena and Bruno performing a solo song each. MsCamaraderie stole the show with a medley that included guests Bre & Morgan Chandler which remains one of the most controversial award show performances. Closing the show we had Beyonce and Carmen Fierce setting the stage on fire, literally. Winners in slideshow.
The 2014 Teen Choice Awards
Eva had a passion and that was to recognize everyone's talents and reward them for their hard work. No matter what label they belonged to, she believed everyone deserved to be recognized. With the 2014 TCA's being the 2nd award show of the year, it sparked controversy due to everyone in the industry being nominated AND the awards being voted by Habbo's. With performances by Justin Bieber, YellowFanta, Hasan Jai & Gemma Monroe, and Miley Cyrus. The industry came together for one night and had an amazing time. Winners in slideshow.
The 2014 SIA Video Music Awards
After SIA became lowkey because of school, causing the industry to die once more, it sparked the industry once again with the most hyped event ever. The VMA saw hype promotion through videos and banners all through October and once the red carpet doors opened, the VMAs hit 50 in a record breaking 1 minute. With ICONIC performances from Ariana, Jessie J, Nicki Minaj, Gemma Monroe, Lady Gaga, Puccilicious, and Beyonce, the 2014 SIA VMAs became the most enjoyable event EVER. This night will be remembered forever!
iHeartRadio Music Festival 2014
Our 4th festival hosted this year was rather different than the one's we hosted earlier in the year because this was an arena festival. The showed kicked off with Taylor Swift and Bre Chandler opening up for Rihanna on Thursday. Then on Friday, Sonia Rivera and an energetic performance by Nicki Minaj opened for Ariana Grande. On the last day, Gemma Monroe filled in for Justin Bieber and her and Gia Gunn opened for Morgan Chandler.
iTunes Festival 2014
Another arena festival, our 5th festival kicked off soon after iHeartRadio. The iTunes Festival saw different stages from each headliner, therefore we had 3 different stages. The stages were small, the venue was small, and the whole experience was fun. Friday we saw Lily Allen open for Lady Gaga. On Saturday CallTheShots opened for MsCamaraderie. Finally, we had Girls United open for Katy Perry. Each stage was amazing in their own way but Sunday proved to be the biggest day of the festival due to the amazing production.
High School Musical
SIA CEO Fentys always had a dream to bring Broadway and theatre to Habbo. He first had the idea with Wicked, but due to uncommitments from the people around him, he decided to move on. Not letting this slip out of his fingers, he quickly decided that he was going to do a theatre show. Working closely with SIA Exec Jadey, they developed a script for over ten Habbo actors and actresses plus 8 extras along with producing over ten huge sets for the show. The show peaked at 50 throughout and it made Habbo history being the first ever play.
The 2014 Victoria's Secret Runway Show
Just like SIA CEO Fentys above, Eva wanted to think out of the box and do something that agency's have never done, and that was a full on fashion show with performances. The VS Runway Show was the perfect show to do and it featured performances by Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande. They rocked the runway with the 5 angels, Vxcky, BreChandler, RiverStonePeach, jadeybiebxr, and FrostBite:, strutting their stuff to all of their hits. The pink carpet AND runway show peaked at 50 throughout and proved to be a massive success.
