## Nkọwa nke egwu
The concerts typically opened with "Cast", the introductory track from *19 & Dangerous*. At certain venues, such as her London stop at Koko, the show began with a spoken word voiceover by Eartha Kitt, which revolved around themes of self-confidence before Starr appeared on stage. The setlist had approximately 18 to 20 songs, drawing primarily from *19 & Dangerous* and her self-titled EP. Core performances included "Fashion Killa", "Toxic", and "Away", the latter of which peaked at number four on the TurnTable Top 50 chart. Starr incorporated several of her collaborative hits into the show, including “2 Sugar” with Wizkid and "People" with Libianca. "Beggie Beggie", her duet with CKay, was also a staple of the setlist. Select dates featured live renditions of "Overloading (OVERDOSE)" with labelmates Magixx and Crayon. She also debuted unreleased material during the North American leg, like "Rhythm &amp;amp; Blues" at the New York event. A significant moment in the show occurred when Starr performed a cover of Patsy Cline’s “Crazy", often delivered a cappella and framed as a vocally driven interlude that shifted the concert’s pace. The rendition generated strong audience reaction, particularly at the Toronto and London shows, where she sang the song from a spotlighted balcony accompanied solely by piano. The show’s final section mainly featured her most commercially successful singles, including "Bloody Samaritan", "Rush", and "Sability", before concluding with a recording-assisted version of Whitney Houston’s "I Will Always Love You". Shows generally lasted between 60 and 90 minutes.

Timi Sotire nke The Guardian nyere egwu ahụ kpakpando anọ n'ime ise. Sotire toro "ụda olu" Starr na "njikọ ya na ndị otu egwu ya na ndị na-agba egwu," na-atụnyere ihe ngosi ya nke ọma na ihe ọ kọwara dị ka "ahụmịhe egwu na-adịghị mma site n'aka ụfọdụ ndị otu ya na Naịjirịa."

Commentators found certain moments to be especially impactful. Starr's a cappella rendition of Patsy Cline's "Crazy", performed from the Koko balcony, was one of such example, receiving particular acclaim from both *1883 Magazine* and *GUAP*. *NotjustOk*, covering the Toronto set, wrote that Starr "shows off the impressive range of her voice while delivering this amazing song," pointing out that she rarely gets the opportunity to do so due to the pop and afrobeats focus of her catalog, but that the stripped-back ballad gave fans "a treat." Guest appearances during some performances were also highlighted by *1883 Magazine* as having "further elevated the show’s energy," while Starr’s closing rendition of "I Will Always Love You" was interpreted by the same outlet as "a message to her fans and supporters who have been alongside her journey thus far." Reviewers also framed Starr as a rising force within transnational pop music. *GUAP* called her "the embodiment of her name – a true new age pop star," adding that "if her show is any example of where the rest of her career is to go, her future is extremely bright." Contextualizing the tour as her first headlining run at age 21, *1883 Magazine* concluded that she "has the quality that will undoubtedly put her alongside some of the best to do it" and affirmed she is "a star in every sense of the word." *We Plug Good Music* considered the show "a testament to her strength as an artist," and commented that she "portrayed every aspect of being a true pop star." Meanwhile, *NSS Magazine* opined that her vocals “are strong enough to go toe to toe with any [male] in her genre."
