The energy in the room spiked as the band stepped onto the stage. Fans have eagerly been waiting for her return since her last Houston show in 2023 at White Oak Music Hall. She opened the night with “23’s A Baby” instantly pulling the crowd into a sing-along.
The 17-song set featured fan favorites like “Sepsis”, “Veronica Mars”, and “Kiss ‘City”. She also performed new tracks from her latest album including “T&A”, “Arms”, and “Change”, offering a mix of songs that had fans dancing, swaying, and singing along. Later in the night, she performed a cover of Addison Rae’s hit, ‘Diet Pepsi’.
The setlist showcased Teitelbaum’s standout vocal abilities. Her powerful voice filled the venue, drawing raw emotion from the crowd. Her lyrics carry a storytelling quality that resonates deeply with fans, and the live music added even more impact.
Teitelbaum announced there were only a couple of songs left, signaling the show was nearing its end, triggering a wave of disappointment as fans weren’t ready for the show to be over. She closed the set with “Event of a Fire” and “Salad” leaving the crowd buzzing.
Blondshell delivers a captivating, unforgettable performance, the kind that stays with you long after the lights come up.
