The reason I say that the audience most likely is metaphorical is because if she had that many fans, we'd surely have heard by now.

I'm kind of in agreement with you on that. The crowd seemed a little... large. After Weiss doesn't seem to be that well-known by anyone in the academy outside of the fact that she is the granddaughter of the own of the SDC (assumedly, she mentions in The Stray that "her grandfather's company has had a target painted on it's back." whether it was her grandfather who created it or who currently owns I'm not sure but I'd assume he still owns it...).

Anyways I prefer the theory that both events are a dreams. Possibly the concert was symbolic of Weiss's desire to express herself emotionally and verbally, since she had no room for such things elsewhere due to likely having few friends, no siblings and being forced to inherit the SDC. The scar, I don't WANT it to be caused by physical abuse but if it was it would link to the dream. Her father caused her the scar, and is likely whom she blames for forcing the hardships she has experienced for the last 17 years onto her, so makes sense that the armour would be symbolic of her father, in defeating it she overcomes it, she overcomes her father and all the hardships and potentail physical harm he has subjected her to.
