The TCU community filled the Campus Commons to see Macklemore and Ryan Lewis on Thursday night.
The first SGA-sponsored spring concert drew hundreds of students, faculty and staff. The rap duo’s setlist included hits such as “Thrift Shop,” “Same Love” and “Can’t Hold Us.” Macklemore even crowd-surfed through the mass of Frogs around the stage.
