Touring

In 2022, Barrett performed her first headlining tour dubbed the "Young Forever Tour". [2]

Critical reception

Caitlin Conmy of The Bubble indicated that the work "presents a powerful commentary on mental health, in particular borderline personality disorder (BPD) which Nessa has openly spoken about struggling with". [1]

Shannon Shumaker of Prelude Press stated that "Comprised of thirteen confessional, personal tracks, young forever finds the twenty year-old looking inward and dissecting the music scene while she balances growing up while being thrust into stardom". [3]
