Overview
- WWD reports the headlining set ran about 80 minutes and drew from both her earlier catalog and her sophomore album, Am I the Drama?.
- On stage she greeted the crowd with “As-salamu alaykum” and said “Everything is mashallah,” later praising Saudi hospitality on Instagram Live.
- She performed in a fully covered neon pink custom look by Gaurav Gupta, with hood and cape elements reworked during rehearsals for freer movement.
- In the days before the show she posted videos from Riyadh’s luxury malls, appeared in abaya- and hijab-inspired looks, and described the city as “brand new.”
- Her appearance follows a recent legal victory in a $24 million civil case and has renewed debate over Western artists performing in Saudi Arabia given human-rights concerns.
