The biggest takeaway so far is how excited fans are to finally see Rudberg live in his own atmosphere.

His sold-out opening show in London and his upcoming concert in California were upgraded from even smaller venues shortly after tickets went on sale due to exorbitant demand.

In nearly every fan-shot video of the first few shows, the crowd’s singing nearly drowns out Rudberg’s own voice, and it’s not something he takes lightly.

Viewers not only tuned in to the off-book look, but also devoured the new tracks, including older songs like the addictive and flirty “Bye Bye” and “She Fell,” in which she invites her ex to “kiss my kiss…” Lover in the Summer” and a well-choreographed mix of the Spanish tune “Como Ayer” and “Pull Up”.

Honestly the clothes are incredible

Considering Rudberg launched her own gender-norm-breaking beauty brand — OMR Beauty — as a passion project, it’s no surprise that the Venezuelan native is bringing out the flaws on stage.

At her show in Paris, the singer wore shiny silver trousers, high heels, long black gloves and a white tank top with black cutouts on the chest.
