You might have heard of Rebecca Black due to her viral pop culture phenomenon, “Friday”. Her first song garnered 174 million views on YouTube, resulting in a tune that has stayed in Gen Z’s head since middle school.

Now, you can find Rebecca on The Salvation Tour, where she will stop in 19 cities to bring her new album SALVATION to her fans.

The sold-out Los Angeles show at the El Rey Theatre was definitely one to remember. She graced the stage partially wrapped in white fabric. As she began to perform, the fabric unraveled, revealing a shirt that said, “I’m Rebecca”. Although it can be seen as a simple introduction, based on the rest of the night, I believe it to be her showing her fans she truly knows who she is in her new era of music. The confidence she exuded was unmatched.

Stage design is difficult in more intimate venues. Rebecca pulled out all the stops with her production and visuals. Behind her, a vertical LED wall coordinated with each song throughout her performances. She commanded the theatre, showing she is ready for the next step of her career.

Wait, did she sing “Friday”? Well kinda… The show ended with a “Thank you LA”, but that could not be all, right? Right! The theatre went wild as she introduced the “most iconic woman in pop music”, Katy Perry. Then Katy got on one knee to propose a question to Rebecca. Can she join her on The Lifetimes Tour? Obviously, she said yes. They then celebrated and sang a duet of “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)”. Then the fun, energetic, full of dancing night was over. Rebecca is ready to take her show to stadiums and show the world who she is and what she has worked so hard for. What a great night for music in Los Angeles, CA.
