Madison Beer at Arizona Financial Theatre

With only 13 shows left, Madison Beer’s The Locket Tour is just getting started here in Phoenix, Arizona. This show takes you inside a locket and through a tunnel of love. Madison opens with “Yes Baby”, a 2025 single that leads into her Locketera. It’s an amazing song that immediately brings energy to the crowd.
As I say, it's like seeing the Mona Lisa in person. Madison Beer has been in the spotlight for a while, and many people know her beyond just her music career. As the show continues, the visuals are incredible, and I was completely mesmerized by her presence. A few songs into the set, she performs “BOYSHIT” from her 2021 album Life Support, which I will definitely be adding to my everyday playlist. I never truly got into her music before, but now I completely understand the hype. I really appreciate the hard work and energy she puts into her performances.
Madison moves in and out of a heart shaped curtain, with the dancers and Madison's cute silhouettes projected behind it. There’s a pier and swans that are a part of the locket’s tunnel-of-love theme. She cranks a giant heart as if it's a music box and then rises to perform “Reckless.” She knows that the fans will scream the chant at the top of their lungs during the song.
She mentions wanting to savor every moment because, even though there are still 13 shows left, it already feels like the tour is coming to an end. She expresses her gratitude and reflects on how she once performed for only 25 fans at a show in Tucson and is now performing for thousands in Phoenix. She encourages her fans to follow their dreams because that experience could one day be their’s. She shared that she signed her record deal at just 12 years old. By the end of her speech, she expressed how lucky she felt. Her voice is so majestic that when I closed my eyes, it felt like I was floating on a cloud.
Phoenix definitely had the best silence challenge that artists have recently turned into a trend, and Madison was so happy about it. I truly love when artists involve fans in their shows, and this is such a great idea. She pulled out a heart filled with some song lyrics and read them to the crowd, and let me say, the audience went crazy for the two choices. She picked a fan from the pit, and the fan chose ”Sour Times.”
There was also a fan project that was presented during “You’re still everything.” During the final section of the show, in her video interlude she takes out her broken heart from the operation table, symbolizing that she no longer carries the pain with her.
