Bebe Rexha — Pier 17 in New York, NY — June 18, 2023

Bebe Rexha’s touched down in New York City on Sunday, June 18th and performed at downtown Manhattan’s Pier 17 as a part of her Best F*n Night of My Life Tour. The tour began in late May and will continue through July, bringing along pop singer/songwriter, Zolita as her opener.

Strutting out in a glittery hot pink ensemble and oversized sequin studded sunglasses, Bebe took command of the stage with her magnetic presence. Her backup dancers and band were fiery as they put on one amazing show, transitioning from explosive dance tracks to heartfelt ballads. The stage production was a spectacle in itself, featuring a stunning array of visual effects, vibrant lighting, and creative set designs. 

One standout moment during Bebe’s concert was when she sang an acoustic version of “I’m Gonna Show You Crazy” and brought a fan on stage who she noticed was getting emotional in the crowd. The fan was an immigrant from El Salvador, and opened up about how Bebe’s music helped her transition into her new life in America. After this heartfelt moment, Bebe performed some of her greatest hits such as “Take Me Home” and “In the Name of Love.” During her final song “I’m Good,” the show took an unexpected turn as the show stopped at once, and Bebe had to be rushed to a nearby hospital. Luckily, she is doing okay and has posted on Instagram about how the show must go on, excited to continue the rest of her tour. Her perseverance is inspiring, making Bebe one incredible performer.
