Emerging pop sensation Bella Kay brought The Reckless Tour to Brooklyn Steel<\/a> on Wednesday, September 16.\u200b\u200b The twenty-year-old singer, known for her raw, emotional lyricism and viral breakout tracks, effortlessly sold out the 1,800 capacity NYC venue.<\/p>\n

Opener Hailey Picardi lit up the crowd with her easily loveable indie-pop sound. With anthems that reflect the back-and-forth feelings of a modern teenager, Picardi was a heavily relatable opener for Kay\u2019s primarily Gen Z fanbase. Playing her newest unreleased track, \u201closing u,\u201d for the first time live, the artist was especially excited to announce its upcoming release on Friday, September 18.<\/p>\n

Around 9 pm, the lights dimmed as Drake\u2019s 2015 hit \u201cHotline Bling\u201d shook from the speakers in preparation for Kay\u2019s on-stage arrival. The stage transformed into an intimate bedroom scene. With posters adorning the walls, rugs on the floor, and knick-knacks scattered all around, fans were transported into the singer-songwriter\u2019s universe before the music even began.<\/p>\n

Strutting onto stage with \u201cSay it Say,\u201d a confrontational hit about mixed signals in a relationship, Kay had the crowd entranced as she stood right to the edge of the stage. Dancing along to the track as it built, Kay encouraged fans to follow her lead and shout the chorus back.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As she traveled through the track list, top charting bedroom pop hits shifted to more intimate, emotionally built performances. With \u201cPromise?,\u201d the singer gravitated between stage left and right. Getting as close as possible to her front row fans, Kay wrapped her pinky finger around those in the crowd, silently sealing a bond between them.<\/p>\n

Midway through her performance, the singer covered one of her favorite songs, \u201cceilings\u201d by Lizzy McAlpine. Kay\u2019s emotional artistry matched perfectly with McAlpine\u2019s raw, story-like lyricism. Turning the soft ballad into a heartache anthem, Kay mixed her gritty vocal tone with the otherwise soulful song.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Sick\u201d and final song \u201ciloveitiloveitiloveit\u201d were the fan favorites of the night. Known as her biggest hits, these two mark the career-bend for Kay as her debut single and highest peaking song. Widely beloved since their teases on TikTok, Brooklyn Steel<\/a> erupted with cheers, scream-singing, and palpable energy for the two singles.<\/p>\n

Bella Kay continues on The Reckless Tour<\/a> throughout the U.S. until October, and then she will join Noah Kahan\u2019s UK and Ireland leg of The Great Divide Tour as an opener. In March, she is set to support Gracie Abrams on her highly anticipated The Look at My Life Tour.<\/p>\n
