Betty Who Setlist Read More

Pop sensation Betty Who just headlined First Avenue in Minneapolis last night. The LGBTQ community showed up early, in support of Who, and her new album Big! (BMG), which was nominated for a GLAAD Media Award.
Opening the show was internationally-renowned drag superstar and recording artist Shea Couleé. Couleé started their drag career in 2012 and found stardom on Season 9 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Then they were the winner of Season 5.
The 30-min set features songs from their debut album 8, including “New Phone Who Dis?”, “Collide”, etc.
For the song “Material”, Couleé mentioned that they came up with the title before writing the song. Once the song was written … they released the word “Material” never appeared in the song!
For the set finale, “Your Name” was described as the first song written for 8. It’s a very upbeat song, accompanied with spiraling lights and flanked by the two dancers… a good song to end on a high note.
As for pop star Betty Who… her set was really fun and colorful: Who in a red suit, with a dancer in yellow and a dancer in blue. These types of dance shows are really fun visually. Each song had well-choreographed dance routines, and every had smiles across their face… they were just having a good time.
In the middle of the set, Who did an acoustic set with “Grown Ups Grow Apart” and “Wanna Be”, giving the two dancers a much-need break.
Her two musicians, a drummer and a guitarist were mostly in the background on the far left and far right of the stage. They’re there to provide the music, because the spotlight would always be on Betty Who, who commanded the attention with her moves and vocals.
Betty Who’s new album Big! is out now on BMG.
Remaining tour dates:
