Watch Normani Perform Rihanna And Fifth Harmony Hits At Her First Sweetener Tour Stop

Ariana Grande's very first Sweetener World Tour concert touched down in Albany on Monday night (March 19) and there was a lot to take in. Although before the pop princess even planted a suede-booted foot on the stage, Normani got the crowd warmed up with an efficiency that proved her a true multi-threat.


The former Fifth Harmony singer packed a lot into her half-hour set, which opened with "Checklist," her team-up with Calvin Harris and Wizkid. Curiously, she didn't perform her other Harris collab, "Slow Down," although the setlist did include her previously released singles "Love Lies," "Dancing With a Stranger," and "Waves."


As for the rest of her efficiency, Normani opted not to debut new music throughout her set (probably an educated move to save the new tunes for a bigger release), and alternatively covered some beloved classics. Right after singing Aaliyah's "One in a Million," she launched into a dazzling Rihanna medley of "Diamonds," "Run This Town," "Where Have You Been," and "We Noticed Love." From there on, it was on to a crowd-pleasing Fifth Harmony set that included "Work From Residence "Worth It," and "BO$$."


Ultimately, it looks like Normani really made the most of her coveted first gig. She's long been a performer keen on following in Beyoncé's footsteps, and she definitely looked the part (that sparkly bodysuit!), Moved the part (that choreo!), And sang the part (those vocals!). Imagine us even hyped for her upcoming debut solo album.


And before you go, here are two more must-see photographs of Normani's stellar beginning night. You're welcome.
