Concert synopsis
Carpenter opens the show with "Taste" and "Good Graces", with her dancers.[5] This is followed by a welcome note by Carpenter where she thanks her opening act, followed by a performance of "Slim Pickins" by the fireplace,[6] and "Tornado Warnings" with a male backup dancer.[7] Carpenter ends the set with "Lie to Girls" with female dancers and a short snippet of "Decode".[8] She opens the next set with a fictional advertisement,[citation needed] followed by a performance of "Bed Chem" in a round shaped bed with female dancers.[6] The next set opens with an intro to a fictional sitcom, "Sabrina After Dark", where Carpenter's band and backup singers are introduced,[9] and Carpenter appears in a custom Patou black lace jumpsuit[10] followed by a jazz rendition of "Feather". She proceeds to perform "Fast Times" and "Read Your Mind". Carpenter later enters a bathroom while performing "Sharpest Tool", followed by a short snippet of "Opposite".[11] Carpenter proceeds to perform "Because I Liked a Boy" and "Coincidence"[8] before spinning a bottle to determine a surprise cover song to perform; "Busy Woman", a bonus track, was sometimes performed instead.[12] Carpenter then proceeds to perform "Nonsense", before closing a set with a satirical "Technical Difficulties" screen in place of a custom outro.[13] The narrator then reappears, recapping the previous highlights of the tour, before Carpenter rushes to him to chastise him about the technical difficulty before firing him out of anger. Two advertisements are shown that lead up to a performance of "Dumb & Poetic",[8] where Carpenter appears in a Ludovic de Saint Sernin two-piece dress.[10]
