Madonna is the queen of pop, so The Celebration Tour was the best way to kick off the new year. She was late, but worth the wait, as expected!

Pink
I can’t believe how long it’s been since I wrote a concert review. I was impressed by Pink’s Vegas-style show in 2019, so I had to go back! This time, I celebrated my mom’s birthday and we saw the first North American stop on Pink’s Summer Carnival tour. Fans of all ages attended and I feel old thinking about how I’ve been listening to Pink for 20 years.
Now I’ve officially seen every performer on my must-see list! Watching Pink on award shows convinced me she would be amazing and her Beautiful Trauma World Tour was even better than I imagined.
Between the costumes, acrobatics, dancing and special effects, it was a magical show and she performed for 2 hours! Not only did Pink wear red pants, but she also performed right in front of me and flew over my head, so we almost made eye contact.
I never thought I would see Justin Bieber perform live, but never say never!
Though I didn’t immediately recognize opener Hot Chelle Rae, it was fun to see them play their 2011 hit Tonight, Tonight, which instantly became familiar when they closed their set with it.
More than half an hour after Justin’s scheduled stage time at the Air Canada Centre on Thursday, a dramatic ten-minute countdown began. When he emerged from the ceiling wearing oversized wings, the first thing I thought of was Pink’s showstopping trapeze act at the 2009 Grammys. Justin may not have done any acrobatics, but his entrance was more than enough to excite fans.
From there, Justin literally started the show with a bang, as fireworks went off during his first song, All Around the World. Usually stars hold off on fireworks and confetti until the encore, so it was cool that these effects were used early on.
The themes for the graphics, video backdrops and dancers’ costumes ranged from outer space to underwater. Justin changed outfits at least four times and my favourite part was how he rocked fire engine red high top sneakers. (You know how much I love all things red!)
