Becky Gβs electrifying presence on stage was immediately apparent as she kicked off the night with the high-energy βMala Santa,β setting the tone for what would be an unforgettable evening. The crowd, a mix of die-hard fans and new converts like myself, was absolutely charged with excitement. For me, this was only my second time attending a reggaeton concert, and I can confidently say that Becky G has made me a true fan of the genre.
A Powerful Setlist and Unforgettable Collaborations
Becky Gβs setlist was a flawless blend of crowd-pleasers and exciting new material, showcasing her range as both a performer and a storyteller. The night flowed seamlessly from one hit to the next, with standouts like βFulanito,β βTAJIN,β and βArrancaβ getting the crowd dancing from the very first beat. The unreleased track βHablamos MaΓ±anaβ was a highlight, giving fans a glimpse into the future of Beckyβs musical evolution.
Throughout the night, Becky was joined by an impressive array of special guests. Chiquisβ appearance on βCuidaditoβ brought an extra layer of excitement, with the two powerhouse performers delivering a song that had the crowd singing along in unison. Ivan Cornejo also made a memorable cameo during β2NDO CHANCE,β adding a unique twist to the set that felt both intimate and special.
One of the most touching moments of the evening was the tribute to the late Selena Quintanilla. Becky G, clearly emotional, took to the stage to perform βBidi Bidi Bom Bom,β an iconic song that paid homage to one of reggaetonβs greatest influences. It was a beautiful moment that connected generations of fans, uniting everyone in celebration of Selenaβs enduring legacy.
Personal Highlights and Fan Interaction
As the show progressed, Beckyβs connection with the audience only grew stronger. The energy in the Toyota Center was palpable, and the love between the artist and her fans was evident in every cheer, every scream, and every dance move. She took a moment to express how much this show meant to her, sharing her gratitude for the opportunity to perform in front of a hometown crowd. It felt like a true homecoming.
The setlist reached its peak with massive hits like βMAMII,β βBaile Con Mi Ex,β and the chart-topping βSin Pijama,β each one sending the crowd into a frenzy. And just when it seemed like the night couldnβt get any more electric, Becky returned for an encore with her infectious anthem βShower,β bringing the crowd to their feet one last time.
A New Fan of Reggaeton
For someone who had never been a huge reggaeton fan until this point, Becky Gβs performance completely won me over. The fusion of reggaeton rhythms, pop sensibilities, and Beckyβs undeniable stage presence left an indelible mark. From her powerful vocals to her dynamic dancing, she proved herself to be not only a reggaeton queen but a true pop star with staying power.
In a night filled with love, music, and celebration, Becky G showcased just why sheβs at the top of her game. Her sold-out performance at the Toyota Center was more than just a concert; it was a testament to her hard work, her roots, and the powerful connection she shares with her fans. This was a night to rememberβand if you werenβt there, you definitely missed out on witnessing an artist at the peak of her career.

It spans Asia, Oceania, the Americas and Europe. The tour is to promote the group’s second album βBorn to Be.β Sadly, the tour will take place when the member Lia is on hiatus, but good news, Yeji, Ryujin, Chaeryeong, and Yuna will still preform.
The show kicked off with the girls taking the stage clad in red and black outfits for their song, βBorn To be.βΒ With an extended intro, the girls busted into their moves before venturing into their song, βRacer.β After the girls preformed βKidding Me,β they took the time to chat with their fans MIDZY. Chaeryeong was the first to speak and she remarked how happy she was to make memories with their fans again. Yuno then highlighted the band that was performing with the girls. She expressed that the performances that night would have a richer sound since they were accompanied by a live band and then she took time to introduce each member of the band allowing the audience to give them their flowers. Then the girls performed βMr. Vampireβ before heading into βSwipe,β which utilized interactive graphics in which the girls swipe their hands across their faces. To those in attendance it certainly was a very cool effect it played right into the music. The girls finished out the act with their hit song βWannabe,β to the delight of their fans. At the beginning of the song, the dancers stayed on stage for an extended dance break.
After a short video, which encompassed city escapes with the girls, pondering their existence, a spotlight fell on the stage. In the center was Chaeryeong to perform her solo song “Mine.β Decked out in an all-white outfit, her performance was not only sweet, but seductive and encompassed a cool mirror effect along with a dancer who doubled as her. Up next was Ryujin who performed her solo song, βRun Away.β She started the song sitting down holding a microphone with no stand. The stage was filled with colors of red and gold as she rocked out next to a table with a teddy bear sitting next to her, before descending the elevated stage. She was wearing thigh-high boots and a bodysuit with a sparkling rock’n jacket. Then the mood all changed to absolute out of this world sweetness courtesy of Yuno. As she performed her song, βYet, but,β a large 3-D spaceship straight from her music video was projected behind her as she danced in a diamond cut out couch. She rocked a sparkling outfit with a collar and high boots just as if she was ready to blast off into space with fluffy cute graphics were also projected behind her, at one point, she even jumped into a shopping cart and was pushed around the stage as she performed. Her stage was truly out of this world with its cute 80’s computer graphics. Then the mood shifted again with Yejiβs solo stage which had an extended outro. She performed her song, βCrown On My Head.β She was wearing a red and black outfit and rocked out with cool edgy crown graphics projected behind her with matching choreography. She stunned the crowd with her stage presence, and wow them with her vocals, belting out numerous times amazing notes.
After the girls solo stages, the concert embarked on to act three, which began with a video that was out of this world. It had Armageddon undertones with the girls looking up to the sky and pondering their existence as if they were having an internalΒ crisis.
Then came an intro in which the girls descended from a staircase to perform their hit song, βUntouchable.β The girls were in crop tops with sequins details and denim jeans. Their dancers were all in white. Then ITZY performed their hit βGas Me Up,β which saw the arena drenched in red and black, before cascading into a beautiful waterfall of colors for their stage for βDynamite.β Then the girls took a break to talk and connect with fans again. The girls mention that this concert was the only time that they had performed solo stages. One mention she had a blast singing and performing her song that she wrote herself. Yeji remarked that she was happy to share the energy to which a fan yelled out. “I love you” and she jokingly replied, βI love you too!β Then the audience was in an uproar of sharing love for the group to which then Yeji had to joke, βOK Iβm talking,β as she flirted with the audience. She also mentioned that she loved performing her song in the solo stage because it was such a happy song with bright positive energy. It was clear that the audience was touched by her corky sentimental sensibility. Then Ryujin joked with the audience, explaining that she couldnβt hear the audience and encouraged NYC to βmake some noise,β before the girls got into their song βPsychic Lover.β For this song, this stage was immersedΒ in beautiful colors. Projected behind the girls were squares. Each girl was jumping around, giving as much energy as the audience gave to them.Β The girls then went on to perform their song, βDonβt Give a What,β Which saw a 3-D monogram projected behind them with their names as they rocked out before breaking into their monster hit βLOCO.β The act concluded with the girls doing a rock version of βLOCO,β with an extended outro that continued to play long after they had quickly dived behind the stage for an outfit change and to get ready for the next act.
For the next act, the band continue to rockout as the girls were working behind the stage to get ready. They started the song, βNot Shy,β with a long intro before the girls return to the stage decked out in white and black western themed outfits, which paid homage to the music video for the song. The girls then broke out their signature moves for their hit songs βCakeβ and βSneakers,β to the audienceβs delight. For βSneakers,β the girls were super cute and playful as colors surrounded the stage. They even did cartwheels to celebrate the joy. The girls then took a beat to chat with their fans again before getting to their song, βKill Shot,β which was accompanied by extremely cool 3D graphics. ITZY then closed out their set with βEscalator,β which had an extended outro and saw the girls walking off as to say that was it!
However, for MIDZY sake the girls were only teasing. As they prepared for their encore stage a video played. The video encouraged MIDZY to get into the moment with games and challenges that included cheering, singing and even dancing. Then the girls returned to that stage to perform βLOVE isβ wearing shorts or skirts with their concert tees cut in individual cute ways.Β They sat down to performed their touching song βBe in Love.β As the girl sat on the stage it was a very intimate moment as if it was a farewell love letter to fans to say we have to leave, but we will be back. Then the girls actually said their goodbye to MIDZY, but just as the girls were about to speak a video came on that teased each one of them. They watched as they joked with each other. Then Ryujin remarked that New Yorkβs Time Square now feels like home to her now since they had been bless to come to New York so many times. Chaeryeong spoke in English to the audience and she promised that Lia would return soon. Before jumping into their two final songs the girls sat down on stage to take a photo with their fans. They smiled as the lights on the audience were raised. After the heartfelt moment, the girl sjumped right into their song βBoys Like You,β which saw them running around the stage in a playful manor. They jumped around as the lyrics of the song were projected behind them. Then they finished out the show with their hit song, βDALLA DALLAβ which had an extended outro. As confetti was flying the girls waved goodbye to their fans and it was obvious how much they had grown as artists from their sweet humble stage in Brooklyn at the Kings Theater to now taking the worlds stage at Madison Square Garden. The moment seemed to capture their gratitude to their fans for making it possible as well as reflected how much they have grown as artists.
