[TOUR] Greatest Hits Tour 2024

With the tour coming up really soon, I've created a Setlist Thread in case anyone's interested in discussing or checking out which songs have been performed throughout each of the tours:

I don't know if I got it wrong, but did she say on the podcast that the concert is expected to last 90 minutes? If so, that's 30 minutes more than her usual, absurdly short, 60-minute concert. It's kind of weird because she also said she aims to perform songs that are not on the Greatest Hits (like Breakaway and a cover), but in the Instagram post, she said she couldn't have a GH tour without a Greatest Hits album, so I immediately thought about the tracklist being also the setlist of the concerts. By the way, the Greatest Hits album will be 1 hour and 17 minutes long. If she adds Breakaway + cover it would easy reach 1h30min.

Yeah I’m pretty sure she once said her longest setlist was 2 hours, referring to BST, but it was actually 90 minutes. She has never played a tour show longer than 90 minutes.

That was probably the best thing about the AL Tour. I still revisit that video of her singing Things I'll Never Say from time to time. I think it sounds great in her "new" voice:

Yeah I don't know why she hasn't experimented more with medleys especially as her catalog has gotten bigger and she insists on only playing the hits, eventually some songs are going to have to get cut, so medleys are a nice compromise to keep songs without taking up too much time. It's not even like she'd really have to arrange them if it was too difficult for her to think of how they'd musically fit together, her musical director definitely could help.

I miss when she changed up Losing Grip during TBDTour, that was really unexpected how she made it a more acoustic arrangement and it brought new life to an old song she had sung thousands of times. There's some songs that can never be touched and should be performed as they are, but she could definitely get away with experimenting with some others. If she's going to insist on singing the same songs every tour she could at least try fresh arrangements. I don't know how she's just not bored to tears playing the same thing for 20+ years. Britney wrote in her book that during her Vegas residency she was desperate to remix some of her old songs but they wouldn't let her and she was forced to sing them the same way every night for years, and she was just bored and so were the fans.
