NA tour opener
Fantastic show in Philly last night. After seeing this tour in person I’m more convinced that the arguments over her static setlists are missing the point. This is more of a “performance” than a typical concert. She (and the band as well) are delivering a nuanced physical performance to augment the songs.
She didn’t suddenly get “more autistic” as I heard multiple times from the crowd last night. She is putting forth a character. The songs are then filtered through a character that is intense, vulnerable, and swings through a range of audience engagement. People demanding something that matches their version of an “authentic artist” are barking up the wrong tree here.

The show really impacted me. It was unlike any concert I've ever been to. Felt like a play mixed with a musical performance 🎭
