A quiet simple Sunday passed whilst waiting for the rescheduled P!NK Beautiful Trauma tour stop, which had originally been scheduled for May.
Well, my worry was all for naught. In a dazzling black sequined bodysuit, she entered swinging UPSIDE DOWN from a spiral pink chandelier. I was so in awe and so stunned that at first the music didn’t even register. How’s she doing that? How can she be upside down and still be singing?!
Hyperbolic cartoons lit up the jumbotron behind the elaborate stage, each a bizarre visual masterpiece. The backup dancers (truthfully, I don’t even want to call them backup anything as they were truly an act on their own) wore ornamental costumes; a birds head, candelabra hands, bodies writhing, twisting and jumping telling their own story.
So while yes, her music was indeed amazing, it was how her personality truly shone through. That type of authenticity you cannot fake. She made the audience feel like she was there for them each as individuals rather than a sold out crowd. I turned my attention to the crowd at one point and every single person had a smile mingled with a bit of awe on their face. I was right there with them. About 99% of the concert I was essentially just one giant goosebump.
