Reaction[]
A reviewer at Hartford's Toronto concert noted the audience's enthusiasm and wrote that she "made the stadium shake with the help of excess poise and charisma, a glittery microphone, her band and dancers." He went on, "Annie's voice is an absolute wonder, and the burden of being pop star at the age of 18, a real phenomenon. Fans [of all ages] pay a bajillion dollars to see you and your band take the stage at a venue that's primarily used for football and soccer." During the Orlando show, a music and entertainment critic noted that Hartford's cover of "Dangerous Woman" was a highlight.
