She was the fiery-haired teen pop star behind the original shopping mall tour in the 80s – can you guess who it is?

As a dedicated follower of pop culture and music history, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia when I think about Tiffany, the copper-haired teen idol who took the world by storm in the 80s. Born and raised in California, this former teen sensation has certainly come a long way since her shopping mall concert days.

When she was only sixteen, this red-headed teen sensation was still too young to perform at conventional venues during the 1980s. To find an innovative solution, her management team organized concerts in shopping malls instead.

1987 marked the start of a unique, countrywide mall tour for her. During this tour, she captivated her young audience (teeny boppers) from coast to coast as they eagerly awaited her first self-titled album.

globally, the sales figure for that record soared to an astounding seven million copies, undeniably boosted by its initial airplay at the most popular spot among today’s teenagers.

Can you guess who it is? 

Once widely recognized by just her first name, Tiffany, during her peak fame, she’s now a divorced mother of one who continues to perform and travel across the country for concerts.

As a die-hard fan, I couldn’t help but feel my heart race as I caught sight of the legendary Tiffany Darwish making her grand entrance at the Canyon Club in Agoura Hills, California. DailyMail.com was gracious enough to snag some exclusive photos of this momentous occasion, and I can’t stop staring at them!

In relaxed attire featuring black leggings and a vibrant purple tie-dye top, her iconic red hair cascading with multicolored extensions, and donning black nail polish, she entered the venue through the back door, each hand clutching a sizable bag.

With unwavering professionalism, Tiffany arrived a full three hours ahead of her 8 pm performance with her band.

At The Canyon Club, they offer several types of tickets for sale. For those who wish to dine, the recommended arrival time is 7 pm. However, others may opt to simply grab a drink at the bar or choose to stand during the performance instead.

There’s also a tiny space designated for dancing, allowing guests to show off their moves when their preferred track is played.

Tiffany is now living far from Los Angeles on a quiet ranch in Tennessee.  

In the 1980s, her iconic single “I Think We’re Alone Now,” which gained immense popularity worldwide, catapulted her to become a prominent pop star for that decade.

Originally, the rock band Tommy James and the Shondells made the song back in 1967; however, it was pop singer Tiffany who brought it to number one on the music charts.

Despite Michael Jackson’s “Bad” being at the peak of the Billboard 200, she skillfully dethroned it, becoming the youngest female musician ever to secure the number one spot.

In 2002, when Tiffany was 30 years old, she astonished everyone by appearing in a photoshoot for Playboy, aiming to demonstrate that she had moved beyond her days as a teenage entertainer.

‘I’d do it again in a heartbeat’ she later said.

In 2011 she returned to the music scene with her country-pop style LP titled ‘Rose Tattoo’.

Hailing from Norwalk, California, Tiffany Renee Darwish was born. She maintains a positive outlook towards the hit that catapulted her into stardom, expressing her enthusiasm for performing it for her audience by stating: “The song continues to bring people happiness.

She didn’t achieve fame with just a single song; her unique rendition of the 1963 Beatles classic “I Saw Him Standing There” continues to be a hit and is one of many songs she still performs today, alongside the poignant ballad “Could’ve Been.

The evening at the Canyon Club was a success with her pal Goonies actor and singer Corey Feldman, 53, showing up to support his friend and enjoy the show.

Tiffany travels extensively for performances, and afterward, she heads back to her sprawling 6-acre ranch located in Springfield, Tennessee.

Originally from a countryside background, she admits to loving tending gardens and the quiet charm of rural living, having left Los Angeles more than two decades back.

From 1992 to 2004, she was wedded to Bulmaro Garcia, and together they raised their son, Elijah, who is now 32 years old. After that, from 2004 until 2018, she was married to Benn George.
