Days before her 21st birthday, Eilish plays a strong set of hits mixed with a handful of surprises in Inglewood on Tuesday.
“I ended tour months ago and it just didn’t feel like the end,” Eilish told the crowd between songs late in the set. “I wanted to come back to my hometown and do a few more.And here we are indeed, a few days before Eilish turns 21 on Dec. 18, watching this still-ascending talent pack 32 songs into an hour and 50 minutes as ecstatic fans sang nearly every word with her, chorus and verse.
“Therefore I Am” rumbled along its heavy groove. “You Should See Me In a Crown” elicited screams from the crowd at its first note, dancing wildly as Eilish roamed the length and width of the stage in constant motion. “You know I had to bring back an old one, didn’t you?” Eilish said as the crowd cheered. “You guys missed that one, didn’t you? I don’t think I’ve done that one since 2018.”
Four songs on a remote stage at the far end of the arena brought her close to – and above – the fans furthest from the stage, as a large hydraulic lift flew her over the crowd while she sang tunes including “OverHeated” and “Ocean Eyes.” “When The Party’s Over” is one of the most gorgeous songs in Eilish’s career, and for once, the fans seemed to pause their singalongs to bask in the beauty of her vocals.
