Beyoncé kicked off her North American tour in Toronto on Saturday, delivering a spectacular performance. Read our live review
It wasn’t the always-in-motion marathon fans are sometimes used to from the singer , but it was perhaps her most spectacular. Her singers, dancers, and horn-inflected band all got their moments to shine. Her costumes were immaculate, from disco-inspired gowns to nude leotards with built-in-hands covering her private parts and built-in red nails. “It should cost a billion to look this good,” she sang on “Honey,” and it felt like it actually might have.
It wasn’t significantly different from the shows Beyoncé has put on in the European leg of the tour. There were no special guests or big surprises, and Beyoncé’s daughter didn’t make the trip to dance on “Black Parade” as she did at some European shows. Maybe fans had already seen the bedazzled robotic horse propelling her into the sky, the hydraulic arms, the metallic bed and pillows she covers herself in on “Cozy,” the bee costume with the self-moving antennae.
That song segued into a snippet of the Jackson Five’s “I Want You Back,” one of many snippets of other artists’ songs that she nodded to throughout the set — from Diana Ross to Lauryn Hill to Kendrick Lamar to her own girl group history in Destiny’s Child. That became even more overt on the Queens remix of “Break My Soul” which shouts-out everyone from Nina Simone to Jill Scott to Grace Jones.
Worrying about spoilers is a relatively new phenomenon for an art form that takes its power from being in the moment, but it’s part of a world that Beyoncé helped create.
