She said, ‘This is the biggest show I’ve ever been a part of . I feel like it’s important to grow and invest in my career and every time I have an opportunity to travel with my show.
I use a lot of technology and lights, in fact I think this show features more strobe lights than any other. But I feel like at the end of the day a show should be just as powerful if you only have a mic and a light because it’s all about the music, the relationship between the artist and the crowd.’
