Last Thursday night, Rebecca Black kicked off the North American tour in support of her debut LP Let Her Burn with a glamorous bang. The show marked her first time touring in the Boston area, and she was welcomed by an adoring crowd at The Sinclair.

The psychedelic pop of mazie was the first order of business for the evening. Overcoming significant technical difficulties caused by missing equipment, mazie and her bandmates brought an exuberant energy with them to the stage.

Rebecca Black made a dramatic entrance, draped over the shoulders of one of her accompanying dancers, and the theatrics were nonstop from there. She served the audience a tightly choreographed performance of Let Her Burn in its entirety and selections from her most recent EP Rebecca Black Was Here. She also included a hyperpop cover of Vanessa Carlton’s “A Thousand Miles” on the setlist, which had the entire crowd singing. The extremely positive reaction from the audience in general had Rebecca Black beaming as she humbly expressed her gratitude and commented on how it felt to hear fans singing her new songs back to her. She did nevertheless deliver an updated version of Friday in an encore performance, to shrieks of approval before actually ending the night with her more current track “Girlfriend.” While Rebecca Black seems comfortable leaning into the kitsch of her original viral fame, the warm reception she got at her first visit to The Sinclair proved that she has evolved past the memes and earned a sincere following.
