Playing favorites such as “Talk To A Friend”, “Medicate Me” & “Frozen” the crowd only got rowdier and sang their hearts out.

Taylor owned her space with a quiet confidence and undeniable edge.
Finally Charlotte Sands stormed the stage with the confidence of someone who knows exactly who she is — and dares you not to sing along. From the moment she walked out, decked in bold color and louder attitude, it was clear that the energy had shifted.
