Ty Dolla $ign Brings the 'Beach' to New York City's Irving Plaza For Don't Judge Me Tour

Despite the celebration of success, Ty urged everybody not to define themselves by followers and mocked the fake importance people feel through social media. “You don't have to have 1,000 or 50,000 followers to be really poppin’ in life,” Ty told his audience, which included his mother in the balcony. “This song right here is dedicated to every single female who has less than 5,000 followers. You know why? … To us, baby, you famous.”

Naturally, Ty followed that by bringing out his guitar, putting on his sunglasses, and hypnotizing the room with “Famous.” The guitarist on the album version of the track is John Mayer, but tonight, it was just Ty Dolla standing before a starry video backdrop -- the supernova hitting every note just right.

Though Mayer didn't make an appearance, Ty Dolla $ign's show was not absent of special guests. First, his girlfriend Lauren Jauregui (of Fifth Harmony fame) surprised everybody to perform her part on “In Your Phone.” Before leaving the stage, she shared a kiss with Ty. If that wasn’t enough, Ne-Yo appeared in his brimmed hat to sing his throwback classic “So Sick.” (For the record, the three of them combined have way more than 1,000, 5,000 or 50,000 followers across social media.)

The finale came with what Ty called his favorite song to perform, “Blasé.” As a blizzard of red confetti coated the air, joining the billows of smoke, Ty hopped off stage to give hugs with fans in the front row, grinning from ear to ear and his energy even more electric than when he started. He had declared Irving Plaza a no judgment zone, but the 1,000 people in the room were judging him -- and the verdict was overwhelmingly in his favor.
