As promised, the festival set was a departure from her recent live performances but still brought all the avant-garde drama the singer is known for.
The set opened with “Diet Pepsi,” which rang out as the screen read, “The Fame and Glory Show.” Her dancers sported black jackets branded with the word “fame,” while Rae donned a boa made of hundreds during “Money Is Everything.” During “Aquamarine,” she welcomed Maddie Ziegler to the stage. The famed dancer twirled, dropped, and enraptured the crowd in a flowing white ensemble, while Rae contrasted her in bright red latex.
Red was a recurring theme throughout the set: red sirens, a red brooch on her first outfit, the red pom poms her dancers shook. It kept showing up — then Rae decided to add something new to the mix.
Rae got the stage warmed up for tonight’s headliner, Justin Bieber, slipping on a purple hoodie for “Headphones On” and asking fans in the crowd, “You here for JB?” The singer leaned in further, quipping, “Just kidding, I’m here for Justin Bieber.” Rae does love fame, after all.
She shared the sense of stardom with a fan during her remix of Charli XCX’s “Von Dutch,” recruiting one to lead the song’s signature scream. She had a good time making her way over to the crowd, mostly because she got to break some rules. “Can I go in here?” she asked, then immediately added, “Oops! I’m doing it.”
Last week, Rae teased that this show would be different from her recent live performances on tour. “This show is not really #TheAddisonTourShow anymore….. it’s #TheFameAndGloryShow. Sort of a 2.0. Starts at Coachella and finishes in Poland,” she wrote on Instagram. “You don’t want to miss it!!!!!”
