The R&B star, known for hits like \"Folded\" and \"Cloud 19,\" showcased her vocal prowess and emotional depth in a two-hour set that celebrated her discography and the history of R&B. Opening with a \"00s R&B fantasy,\" Kehlani's performance was anchored by support acts like Grammy winner Durand Bernarr, DJ Waseel, rising star TheARTI$T, and Oscar-nominated songwriter DIXSON. The tour's narrative, tied to Kehlani's fifth studio album, honored both her current commercial success and the icons of R&B past, including nods to Aaliyah, Ne-Yo, and Michael and Janet Jackson.
