Instagram.com/swiftiedrums- Vicky is heading out on the road with Anastascia, and this time she’s taking her baby with her! We find out how she’s making it happen, if and how motherhood has changed the way she views her career, and how her experience of the music industry is as a new mum.
We cover everything from working until the last possible week of her pregnancy in the studio to planning a baby-tour within a tour and the practicalities of parenthood on the road.
We’ll be speaking to Vicky after the tour for Part 2 to find out how it all goes!
