American rapper Ro Ransom opened the show with a promise to the crowd: \u201cI just spoke to Dua and she has one rule \u2013 she ain\u2019t coming out unless you turn up with me.\u201d Despite being the supporting act, Ransom shined bright all on his own, performing a mix of released and unreleased songs that the crowd vibed with immediately. \u201cStop The World,\u201d \u201cSynthesizer\u201d and new single \u201cDoppelg\u00e4nger\u201d covered the three stages of love \u2013 from being at the club and meeting that showstopper girl, down to realizing the relationship was not meant to be after all. Before taking off, Ransom admitted that he was ready to end his set, but wanted to perform one last song \u2013 his biggest hit \u201cSee Me Fall\u201d<\/a> \u2013 for the killer Toronto crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demanding attention in a super sparkly mini dress and standing in front of a neon sign with her name on it, Lipa opened her set with her upbeat release \u201cLast Dance.\u201d<\/a> Although it was not mentioned on stage, Lipa wrote \u201cLast Dance\u201d in Toronto with producer Talay Riley, who you may recognize for his work with Jess Glynne and Chris Brown. So, maybe it was no coincidence that Lipa chose the 6 to be the first city where she performed her recent collab with Martin Garrix, \u201cScared to Be Lonely.\u201d<\/a> She also sang \u201cNo Lie,\u201d<\/a> her 2016 collab with Sean Paul that was one of the three songs (\u201cScared to Be Lonely\u201d and \u201cBe The One\u201d being the other two) she had in the top 15 of the U.K. Singles chart last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lipa treated fans to several tracks off the upcoming album, including \u201cWant To,\u201d \u201cThinkin \u2018Bout You\u201d<\/a> and \u201cBad Together.\u201d The soulful and soon-to-be-released \u201cGenesis\u201d was a fan favourite, having been featured in a mini-documentary Lipa filmed in collaboration last year with The FADER<\/em> and YouTube Music. But, of course, the show would not be complete without the hits, and that is where Lipa and her receptive crowd did things best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHotter Than Hell,\u201d<\/a> which has amassed over 73 million plays on Spotify, was a highlight. With Lipa\u2019s powerhouse vocals, the song carries itself like an anthem. It is no wonder that this is the song that caught Warner Music\u2019s attention in 2015, ultimately leading to her getting signed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before performing her biggest international hit \u201cBe The One,\u201d<\/a> Lipa told the crowd that, while some personal events recently brought her spirits down, \u201cyou guys tonight are making me feel so special.\u201d She also said that she knows performing and being on stage is where she is meant to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a short intermission and plenty of \u201cDua! Dua! Dua!\u201d chants from the crowd, Lipa returned to the stage with her smash \u201cBlow Your Mind (Mwah).\u201d<\/a> Blow the crowd\u2019s mind, she did (mwah).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lipa and Ransom will be\u00a0touring<\/a>\u00a0the United States until Mar. 17 when they will wrap up this leg of dates in San Francisco. Afterwards, Lipa will be touring Europe in April with pop-punk<\/a> trio Off Bloom before releasing her album in June.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
