The Disney Channel alum is having quite the year after releasing her first album in over 10 years, luck…or something on Feb. 20.
She also embarked on her Small Rooms, Big Nerves music outing in January, marking her first time touring in more than a decade.
This summer, Duff will continue to perform across the globe through her The Lucky Me tour, where she will sing some of her most iconic songs, as well as tracks from her new album.
“I’m so excited for the scale to change,” Duff tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview. “There is something so sweet about getting to see everyone’s face, and being so intimate and close with everyone — and it was really a great way for me to start and build confidence — but I just feel like I know what I’m doing and kind of got my reps in.”

“What’s been so fun about the live shows is realizing how much the old songs mean to people,” Duff said. “A lot of those songs just live rent-free in my head, so it’ll be nice for the other music to catch up and join the mix.”
