Whew, what a show. I can't believe I saw my all-time favorite artist play a concert in my hometown. šššš

The breaks were fine, for me at least. Just enough time to rest a bit. Only the third one took a really long time but they were setting up the orchestra so that's why.

Interesting that she moved WYG to the encore.

What a show!! She did the encore with the strings quartet!! Girlfriend What The Hell Complicated Smile Hereās To Never Growing Up Hot (fragment) My Happy Ending He wasnāt Donāt Tell Me Losing grip Bite Me Love It When You Hate Me All the small things Sk8er Boi Head Above Water When Youāre Gone Iām with you Thats cool that she had the orchestra do those 3 songs. But I think those songs would be better before the encore and not at the end of the show, the setlist would be better like this: Girlfriend What The Hell Complicated Smile Hereās To Never Growing Up Hot (fragment) My Happy Ending He wasnāt Donāt Tell Me Losing grip Bite Me Head Above Water When Youāre Gone Iām with you Love It When You Hate Me All the small things Sk8er Boi I feel like finishing the show with upbeat songs feels better than closing with ballads

It is aknowledged as one of the best if not the best song in her catalogue by most people + she consistently performs that song well (unlike the fast-paced songs which usually seem underwhelming). It's a great note to go out on.

I wonder if there was any reason behind her bringing the orchestra... it seems like a beautiful venue to film a concert, just sayin'

She has ended her last several tours since TBDTour on Sk8er Boi, so I don't think it's that big a deal she started ending on IWY since about HAW tour. I saw some videos of her singing WYG and IWY and she sounded so good! She looked like she was really giving it her all emotionally and to hit those high notes. Maybe having the orchestra gave her some extra pep. I don't know the reason why the orchestra was included randomly for this one show, but maybe it's because it was her first time playing in Croatia and she wanted to do something extra special. I doubt we'll see the orchestra for any other shows (just like for HAW tour they only appeared for the LA show).

I'm so glad to see the energy and the little innovations she put into the concert. Of course, the same fans who complain will do it just for the sake of it, but the fact is that public opinion has significantly changed in less than a month - and it's not random; she's genuinely improved. The backlash had a good result after all. Of course, there's still room for improvement. But for the first time in a decade, I feel like she's having fun and is dedicated in the stage, within her limits and her standards, which we all know are low.
This concert looks so beautiful, and it's cute that she included a little surprise with the orchestra. It fits the atmosphere of the arena so well.
Though uptempo songs represent her at her best, this moment also proves how much more intimate acts would benefit her shows and tours.

In LA she performed at the Greek Theatre which is a theatre outside. Maybe that's the reason she did it again, it depends on the venue. Playing orchestra in arenas is cool but it's not the same vibe IMO.

I wonder if sheāll bring the orchestra for Manchester and Cardiff too. Cardiff Castle in particular would be stunning for it.

Another amazing Losing Grip performance I cant with her weird pronunciation, the sings the words in the verses like she got a hot potato in her mouth. But her voice is so good! This song suits her so well and is so good live. I feel like she is actually singing and not belting the notes (maybe cause the notes arent as high?).
