Such is her allure that plenty of people were queuing to buy her merchandise – among which was a $60 “Bite Me” T-shirt (in reference to the name of her second-studio album, released last August).
Earlier today, the line started at door five of John Cain, travelled through the indoor concourse, and then outside to the Grand Slam Oval entrance.
Rapp is scheduled to take to the stage at 5.45pm this evening.
