Deafening chants of “TORI! TORI! TORI!” filled The Fillmore as the stage went dark, signaling that the party was about to begin. Tori entered from the top of the platform, silhouetted in purple lights, and opened the set with the pumping rhythm of “thing u do,” fans’ arms and cell phones thrusting upward.
Midway through the set, Tori strapped on her guitar for an emotionally charged, acoustic rendition of “Oceans.” She was in excellent form, showcasing her powerful, versatile vocals that seamlessly transitioned from pumping hip-hop, R&B to heartfelt ballads.
Standout moments included Tori letting fans choose songs for her to perform and stepping into the barricade area, letting lucky fans sing along with her. From the very start, the show was packed with energy as she pulled out all the stops to entertain.
Tori’s popularity continues to soar, especially with the success of her new album, TORI. While everyone in the audience was drawn in by her powerful, emotional voice, they came to her show for her uplifting spirit. She radiates happiness and inspires self-empowerment.
It was thrilling to see the crowd boogieing the night away. You will never forget a Tori Kelly concert, and you shouldn’t want to.
