As the night draws to a close, Keys unleashes her biggest hits. The electric atmosphere reaches its peak with the powerful anthem “Girl on Fire”, the transformative impact of this song shines through as the audience radiates enthusiasm and sheer magnetism. Paying homage to her beloved hometown, New York City, the setlist naturally includes the timeless song “Empire State of Mind.” With the soul-stirring ballad “No One” and the spellbinding, award-winning “If I Ain’t Got You” as the grand finale, Alicia graciously leaves a moment of silence, basking in awe as the crowd sings the lyrics back to her.
