King Princess, Kilo Kish, and Puffy

By Emma Morris

The show was held at the Palace Theatre, a dope venue, although I couldn’t fully enjoy the general admission experience of seeing one of my favorite performers live. The concert included King Princess and her two openers, Kilo Kish and Puffy.

The first opener was Kilo Kish, a rap artist. Personally, I thought that she was an interesting choice. Her set featured a psychedelic-techno sound.  She also had a nice lighting setup, with colorful UV lights that accented her costume. At first, Kish did not engage with the crowd, but later in her set, she interacted with the audience more, with sassy comments that excited and engaged the crowd.

Puffy, who is a drag artist, was next to perform. They were fun and hyped up the crowd with well-known TikTok songs, such as “Say So” by Doja Cat and “ROXANNE” by Arizona Zervas, along with the matching dances. Their performance was short, but it was revitalizing and prepared the crowd for what was to come.

Now onto King Princess. She was everything and more. Dripping in sex appeal, she strutted her stuff on the stage. She moved from guitar to piano effortlessly and seemed to float across the stage. She told stories through song, performing many of her hits, including “1950,” “Talia,” and her newest, “Hit the Back,” which is from her most recent album, “Cheap Queen.” She left me speechless and feeling reborn.
