Billie Eilish

The girl remembered by many for her bright green hair began making music in 2015 with her brother, Finneas, when she was just 13 years old. They posted their first tracks on SoundCloud “just for fun.” But that same year, they had a real breakthrough with the song “Ocean Eyes”—it quickly went viral and attracted industry attention. By 2016-2017, Billie had signed contracts with major labels, released the EP Don’t Smile at Me, and become one of the fastest-growing artists.

In 2018-2019, Billie became a global star: her album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? topped the charts in the UK and US and earned her a Grammy, and the single “Bad Guy” became a worldwide hit. During the same period, the singer began performing at major venues: on April 13, 2019, at the age of 17, Billie performed at Coachella, one of the largest and most famous festivals in the world. Later, in 2022, she became the youngest headliner in Coachella history.

Taylor Swift

The striking blonde began performing at an early age – she participated in school productions, won a city talent competition at 11, and by 12 was already writing her first songs and learning to play guitar. At 14, she became the youngest songwriter to sign a contract with Sony/ATV, and a year later, she inked a deal with Big Machine. Taylor’s first major breakthrough onto the big stage came in 2006 at the age of 16, when her debut single, “Tim McGraw,” was released. She embarked on a radio tour and also made her debut as an opening act for Rascal Flatts.

Her truly major concert breakthrough came during the Fearless album era. In 2009, 19-year-old Taylor launched her first solo stadium tour, the Fearless Tour. It featured dozens of dates across North America and internationally and grossed over $63 million—an unprecedented scale for a young country-pop artist. Swift herself worked on the production of an entire show for the first time—costume changes, numerous stage sets, and an extended concert program featuring the hits “Love Story” and “You Belong With Me.”

Vanya Dmitrienko

Vanya was born in 2005 in Krasnoyarsk to a musical family and studied vocals and theater from childhood. In 2018, he moved to Moscow, where he continued to develop in the musical scene, participating in production projects and simultaneously studying, combining creativity and education. His breakthrough came in 2020, when the snippet “Venus-Jupiter” went viral on social media, garnering thousands of covers in a matter of days.

The young artist later began appearing on major broadcasts and became the youngest winner of the Golden Gramophone Award. In 2023, Vanya released the album “Paranoid” and held his first large-scale tour, “On the Same Orbit,” across 14 cities, including Moscow and St. Petersburg. In 2026, Dmitrienko once again sold out venues across the country, and sold-out shows are becoming commonplace in many cities. The Moscow show at Luzhniki Stadium on August 2nd appears to be no exception: tickets are still available on Yandex Afisha, the event’s exclusive partner, but sales dynamics suggest the young artist has confidently reached new stadium heights.

Britney Spears

“Oops, she did it again”—that’s how fans of the young Britney Spears cried out in response to critics’ attacks when her tracks once again topped the charts. Her stardom began to emerge at an early age, participating in children’s beauty pageants and singing competitions. For a time, the American singer sang in the band Innosense, but soon decided to pursue a solo career. Britney’s debut album, Baby One More Time, was released in January 1999 and instantly became a worldwide hit, reaching number one on the Billboard 200 and making the 17-year-old singer a pop sensation.

That same year, she held her first promotional tour at shopping malls, and on June 28, 1999, her first major North American tour, the Baby One More Time Tour, kicked off, featuring around 80 concerts. By early 2000, Britney’s popularity had grown to the level of a global phenomenon. Her second album, Oops! I Did It Again broke sales records, and concerts began playing in major arenas around the world.

Justin Bieber

Justin is no longer the teenager of internet covers: he’s now married to Hailey Bieber, the couple has a child, and his name is firmly established among the generation’s top pop stars. But back in the early 2000s, he was an ordinary boy from Stratford, learning to play musical instruments and posting his music online. It was videos that helped young Justin launch his career – thanks to them, he was noticed, and at the age of 13, he signed his first contract, rapidly beginning his journey to worldwide fame.

Bieber’s first EP, My World, released at the age of 15, made him a historic record holder – several tracks entered the Billboard Hot 100 even before the release of a full-length album. At the age of 16, My World 2.0 was released with the hit “Baby,” which became a cult classic. Then, his first world tour in support of the releases, My World Tour, began. It spanned North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania, with dozens of arena and venue shows that sold out in a matter of hours.
