Artist Ulrikke Brandstorp (29) is a familiar face for most people, providing daily updates about all of life’s events on social media.
Recently, the artist published a video on Snapchat asking her followers for help in finding someone who can sew a new stage outfit for her before November is over.

– Simply fking amazing
Brandstorp showcases a picture of a sparkling, transparent dress she wore both during last year’s Christmas tour and during her performance of “Honestly” in Melodi Grand Prix 2023.
However, it is not the dress itself that captures attention – it is the story behind it that gets the fans’ ears perked up.

– During the first concert of last year’s Christmas tour in Oslo, I ran backstage to change into the sparkling dress. That’s when I realized I had forgotten my underwear, and I couldn’t wear a thong under the transparent dress in the church, she recounts on Snapchat.
– Afraid to bring the wrong underwear
The rescue came from her husband Oscar Nordberg (30), who had to dash home to fetch suitable underwear. But he didn’t just come back with one pair.

– Oscar filled the entire backstage area in the church with beige underwear because he was terrified of bringing the wrong one. So he brought all the beige underwear I had, spread them out so I could jump into one, put on my dress, and go out on stage, the artist reveals.
In mourning: – I love you!
In conversation with Se og Hør, Brandstorp reflects on the incident and describes it as a typical example of life’s chaos.
– Obviously, a lot often happens in life. I have many thoughts in my head, and it’s usually a bit of “arms and legs,” so to speak. A delightful chaos, she says.
The artist explains that it was the first concert of the tour and that the focus was on much else.
– I had planned the order of the dress changes, so the first change was actually supposed to be for the “Honestly” dress. I had one song to change into it, and
halfway into putting on the dress, a light bulb went off in my head. The underwear! I just had to grab the other dress and send Oscar on a hunt for underwear. He sprinted!

– Scatterbrained pregnancy brain
Luckily, it was only Brandstorp herself who got to see the “underwear sea” backstage. She assures that she has gotten better at remembering underwear since then but adds:
– I have a bit of a scatterbrained pregnancy brain these days, so it will be exciting to see what I forget on this year’s tour.
– Can you believe we will live here!
Earlier this month, the “Honestly” singer revealed that she and her husband are expecting their first child together.
“This is so wild, raw, and big that we can hardly grasp it yet. Our absolute biggest dream!”, she wrote in the post on Instagram.
Furthermore, it is mentioned that she and her husband chose to share the news early – before 12 weeks have passed.
“We do this because I feel it is something that should not be a secret. It is almost a bit ‘taboo’ to talk about. Of course, we hope this pregnancy goes as well as possible, but if something were to happen, I know I don’t want to stand ‘alone’ in what SO many women feel they do,” she wrote, adding that it is in those situations that you need the most support.
Brandstorp and Nordberg became a couple in 2020 and got married in a magnificent castle in Barcelona this summer.

Brandstorp’s humorous retelling of this incident showcases her vibrant personality and ability to find the light-hearted side of chaotic situations. As her career continues to flourish, memories like these remind her—and her fans—of the unpredictability of life and performance.
