Singer-songwriter, Betty Who took the stage of The Anthem at the biggest performance of her career on the night of March 10th, 2023.
Three high-energy performers took to the stage of The Anthem to perform electric sets which created a party-like atmosphere in the venue. Shea Couleé opened the show with a 6 song set. She included anecdotes about her time on RuPaul's Drag Race which brought about cheers from the crowd.
The crowd slowly trickled in during Shea Couleé's set, but she was not fazed. This seasoned performer commanded the stage from the first note of 'New Phone Who Dis?'--a single off of her debut studio album '8'. As her set continued the standing room floor began to fill. Drinks between friends were shared and the dance party quickly went full throttle. Shea Couleé was the perfect way to start the night. As Couleé's set concluded the audience began to anxiously await the arrival of electronic-pop star Slayyyter.
Former SoundCloud artist tuned pop singer, Slayyyter, was met with technical difficulties from the moment she stepped foot onstage. Several minutes passed before her set could properly begin as planned but she carried on with ease. Slayyyter strutted around the stage interacting with the audience while patiently waiting for her music. Once the performance began it was clear she was having the time of her life onstage. With this being her only performance on the 'BIG! Tour' she didn't want to let a second go to waste. Her set pushed the energy in the crowd to level-11 creating the perfect scene to pass the baton to headliner Betty Who.
Australian-American pop star Betty Who was very open about her adoration for the attendees from DC and The Anthem. The 3,200-seat, 6,000-standing-room capacity venue was the largest location to house one of her concerts since the inception of her career. Who sang crowd favorites from each of her 4 albums while focusing on the 2022 release--Big!. Her two dancers Ricky Munoz and Joshua Pelatzky were seasoned professionals whose palpable connection with Betty Who was undeniable. Who's crystal clear voice paired with her 'big' stage presence left a colossal impact on all who were in attendance that night. Her love for music and performing was evident with every note and every move she made.
