By the point we lastly acquired her within the workplace, she confirmed up able to make it depend, with a fastidiously organized setlist she delivered in an impossible-to-miss, shiny pink, leather-based go well with, backed by an unimaginable band.
Springsteen’s set featured a number of surprises, together with a model of the Tiësto tune “Scorching Honey” (a monitor she guested on when Tiësto launched it final month). She additionally carried out a model new tune we’re premiering referred to as “feels good,” a twisted story about flirting with loss of life, going to extremes and self-sabotage.
Springsteen additionally included a slow-burning model of “ghost in my guitar,” swapping the electrical guitar carried out by Chris Stapleton on her album for a cello, earlier than closing with a stripped-down model of the title reduce to Twenty One thing, a deeply shifting coming-of-age tune that left quite a lot of us on the workplace in tears.
