Celebrating one year since the Perth Arena’s inaugural anniversary, one of the most remarkable concerts kicked off with Queen Bey taking the stage. With an all-female band, a two-hour performance, and not a single drop of sweat, it’s clear who runs the world. Beyonce.
Should we say, Mrs. Carter? This is how she instructed the thousands who packed the Perth Arena to address her. Commanding the stage in her glitzy outfits, dazzling accessories, and a commanding presence that exudes SWAG, she opened with ‘Run The World (Girls)’—and that was merely the beginning of her performance.
Beyonce took us down memory lane with well-loved classics, including her hit ‘Baby Boy’ featuring Sean Paul. Nostalgia swept through the arena as she had everyone pumping their fists to ‘Survivor’ from her Destiny’s Child days.
Halfway through, she soared above the Perth Arena—strapped into a harness—to land at center stage, ready to deliver snippets of her biggest hits. While performing ‘Irreplaceable’ in a stunning sequinned blue ball gown, she engaged with the audience, encouraging them to sing along. This interaction highlighted her incredible artistry and connection with fans.
The song ‘Love on Top,’ featuring around four key changes, accompanied by a troupe of all-female backup dancers and singers, was a triumph. Naturally, ‘Crazy in Love’ and ‘Single Ladies’ turned into showstoppers, prompting everyone, including the men, to rise and dance.
The vibrant party atmosphere that Queen Bey created took a more intimate turn as she performed a brief rendition of Whitney Houston’s ‘I Will Always Love You,’ leaving the crowd in complete silence and awe. She acknowledged the One Republic boys for their contribution to the writing of her finale.
Culminating her 18-song set was one of her greatest hits, ‘Halo,’ which served as the perfect conclusion to an outstanding and unforgettable show that Beyonce delivered in Perth.
To put it in perspective, Beyonce’s concert has become the top performance at the Perth Arena since its doors opened a year ago, surpassing even Pink and Rihanna. Now that’s impressive!
