Alex Porat at Bar Le Ritz in Montreal

On October 9th, 2025, the Toronto-based pop artist, Alex Porat, took the stage at Bar Le Ritz in Montreal on the second stop of her CRUSHED! Tour.

Following an energetic opening performance by Montrealer Claudia Bouvette, which had fans riled up and cheering, Porat opened with her popular hit, “Teardrop.”

The night was full of dancing and singing, and as the 18-song setlist continued, Alex Porat took the time to thank fans for coming, collect a few gifts, and share little moments about writing her EP: Crushed. She also took the time to say that Montreal was her loudest show yet, and the city’s crowd always is every time she performs here!

Porat’s career began through her covers that took off on YouTube, so fans were delighted for her to bring back one of her most popular covers, “Hopelessly Devoted to You” by Olivia Newton-John, as well as a cover of “Manchild” by Sabrina Carpenter later in the set.

The night was a wonderful mix of energetic music and slow, melodic songs, ranging from “Miss Sick World,” played slowly on the guitar, to “Face like Yours,” which was much more upbeat.

After performing an encore of “Better Than That,” and her most popular song “HATELOVE,” Alex Porat thanked the crowd for the wonderful night and left the stage, taking the time to meet fans afterwards at her merch booth.
