SZA barely took a breath, performing over 30 songs for the crowd while dancing, taking on costume changes and even bringing out Travis Scott twice. Sat in block 101 I have a really good view of the stage and I was really impressed with how light was used to set a mood as we navigated through each song. SZA brought Travis Scott out (Image: Jada Jones)Īs soon as SZA graced the stage the entire audience was on their feet, dancing along and singing until their voices were raw. They'd cheer them on and even film, with how the crowd was reacting I expected it to be a celebrity appearance - since Wicked stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo were there this wasn't a long shot - but instead it was just a pure sense of joy from the crowd. The DJ had hit after hit playing and people broke out dancing in their seats around the venue, what made this stand out was how the entire audience would turn and face each dancer. There was a short DJ break between RAYE and SZA, but this is where the sense of community started to ramp up. Once she'd left the stage fans of the artist muttered about how incredible she was while those unfamiliar gushed about how they'd not heard of her before but they'd be listening to her from now on. The noise out of the crowd when the opening notes of Escapism played had the hairs on my arms standing up, the viral hit had everyone singing along and dancing. She rounded off her performance with You Don't Know Me and the atmosphere of the room lit up with everyone realising they were familiar with the hit and singing along with her. She managed to bring the mood right back up with Flip a Switch and Five Star Hotels, I was really impressed with how good her voice was, sounding just like she does on her album. RAYE took the moment to highlight the important issues behind her inspiration of the song and a glance around the crowd was enough to choke me up as thousands of phones were held up with their torches on in solidarity. Her performance was electric, the introduction to Ice Cream Man had myself and other members of the audience tearing up.

RAYE opened up, as someone who has been a fan since Escapism blasted onto the scene I was so excited to get the chance to see her live, she'd been quite open about being unwell for the past week and having to sit out the previous shows. From the Telfar bags draped across us to the many girls with hair just like me, it was a lovely feeling to really feel like a part of a community. I enjoyed a drink in the bar before heading up to find my seats, I immediately felt a sense of belonging as I looked around and saw people who looked like me. Getting my tickets through O2* meant that I got to access the O2 Blueroom which is a sleek little bar that you can relax in before and after the show - and they give discount to American Express card holders.
