’80s pop star Tiffany<\/a> was\u00a0unrecognizable\u00a0as she put on a show at the Garden Amphitheatre in California on Sunday,\u00a0and performed her smash hit\u00a0song, “I Think We’re Alone Now”.<\/p>\n

The 54-year-old was stunning in a black minidress<\/a> with ruching up the sides, worn over a sparkling silver shirt and fishnet tights. She added black knee-high boots and hoop earrings to complete the look, and wore her brunette locks half-up, half-down in glamorous waves.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A clip of the star was posted to social media<\/a>, with her fans rushing to the comment section to exclaim over her incredible talent and stunning visage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“She looks and sounds fantastic!” wrote one, while another added: “She’s still gorgeous!” A third chimed in: “She looks happy, sounds good and is having a blast!” while another said: “Still rocking it!”\u00a0The brunette beauty wowed the crowd with her incredible vocals, while singing the track that made her famous in 1987.<\/p>\n

Tiffany was still a teen when she covered Tommy James and the Shondells’ 1967 song “I Think We’re Alone Now”, which then spent two weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 charts and became an ’80s classic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The track has enjoyed another life in recent months after it was featured in the fifth and final season of the popular Netflix series\u00a0Stranger Things<\/a>. Tiffany had no idea that the song would make its way into the show, nor that so many people would connect with the ’80s tune.<\/p>\n

“It was different because it introduced me to a whole new audience who might not know anything about the ’80s, Tiffany, or the original fans. A lot of younger people have discovered the music, which has been really cool,” she told Euphoria<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Stranger Things\u00a0has shown them the culture of the ’80s and what made that time special\u2026It’s beyond just a song now. It’s almost like I have this secret they’ve discovered and\u00a0realized\u00a0I experienced firsthand. I love their enthusiasm for learning about ’80s music and that whole era.”<\/p>\n

Tiffany added that the Netflix team didn’t warn her that her song would be a major piece in the Stranger Things\u00a0puzzle. “I had no clue\u2026Then my phone just started going\u00a0bling, bling, bling. Messages saying, ‘Girl, you’re in\u00a0Stranger Things.’ It was one person after another\u2026 For me, the coolest part was\u00a0realizing\u00a0I was part of something I genuinely watch and love,” she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tiffany has been open about how her health has suffered since the COVID-19 pandemic, after she contracted Long COVID and began to suffer from chronic fatigue.\u00a0“I have fluctuated with my weight quite a bit in the last couple of years because I have Long Covid and I’m learning to deal with that,” she told The Mirror<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Some days I just battle feeling well enough to go and work out, which is not the norm for me. I’ve always enjoyed working out, however tired I’ve been.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I’ve always been very strong and believed in ‘mind over matter’, but there have been days where I have to listen to my body, and I’m like, I don’t have it in me today. If I push myself, I will actually be doing further damage,” she continued.\u00a0“There have been times when I have flare-ups, and then I really do retain water. And you can’t hide that from the camera. The camera makes it worse.”<\/p>\n
