On June 14, the H-Town Hottie took to the big stage in the city that raised her to kick off the 18th show of 34 for her first headlining world tour at the Toyota Center. Megan tapped fellow rapper GloRilla, who has been on an unbroken winning streak since the success of her 2022 single “FNF,” to join her on the road. The Memphis native was the perfect opener to a lively evening. She warmed up the crowd by starting her set with “Opp S**t”, a song from her latest album, Ehhthang Ehhthang. Before rapping her third hit single “Blessed,” she sang a remix of gospel singer Tamela Mann’s song “Take Me To The King.”

She continued to rap other songs from her new and previous projects, ending with her best-known hits “Tomorrow”, “Yeah Glo!” and “FNF”.

Concert attendee Glennda Bivens told Blavity that she enjoyed the concert highlighting black anime girls and more.

“It’s so cool because it basically reflects who she is as an artist, someone who is accepting and fun and allows you to be yourself without judgment,” she said. “I saw more ass here today than I think I’ve seen in all of Houston. The cheeks are out, the booties are out, but tasty, you know? It’s intentional.

When the lights went out during the brief intermission, the audience jumped out of their seats and screams erupted in the room as Megan took the stage.

She came out with high energy for “Hiss” in a dazzling white and black snakeskin-inspired bodysuit, one of three outfits of the evening. Flames broke out on stage and the color red, which was a recurring hue throughout his set, took over the huge backdrop that featured the master of ceremonies’ visuals. From the moment Megan took the stage and for the rest of the night, she literally received her flowers. Fans who purchased tickets to the booth gave the rapper gifts like roses, daisies, homemade posters and Funko POPs. They also received birthday thank yous, as well as merchandise, signs, clothing and shoes signed by her. She even took the time to take selfies and record videos on their phones, which she continued to do throughout the night.

It was obvious she felt the love as she took a moment to acknowledge her fan base.

“Welcome to the Hot Girl summer tour fucking king,” she shouted. “I’m so happy to be home!”

“Only the fucking hotties of Houston are my family.” We are definitely in the best city,” she added.

And the “Hotties” weren’t the only women in the building to connect organically and party together all night long.

Megan welcomed GloRilla, who morphed into an all-white country western group, back on stage so they could perform their second joint record “Wanna Be.” Both women exuded girl power and their true dynamic could be felt. After completing her viral twerk finish, the CMG artist expressed her gratitude to her hip-hop sister.

“I just want to let you know that in your hometown, you’re a real slut and I love you so much,” she told the iHeartRadio Music Award winner before kissing. “I’m so glad I got to do this fucking tour with you. You’re like the best bitch ever. Bitch, I love you so much, no lie, with your beautiful ass.

As many know, Houston is a Southern metropolis that has a unique rap culture and style that has not only had a big impact on hip hop, but has also influenced the essence of Texas Southern University alumnae.

Additionally, it breeds artists as it is the birthplace of Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, DJ Screw, Pimp C, Paul Wall, Trae Tha Truth, Lizzo, LaToya Luckett, Chamillionaire, Lecrae, rising artist Monaleo and many more. others.

Another local phenomenon, Megan decided to surprise the audience and pay tribute to some of her hometown’s musical heroes. Lil’ KeKe came out to perform “Southside” and was followed by Slim Thug, who rapped “Still Tippin’,” before trying to take a shot at Megan Thee Stallion. She ended the tribute with UGK member Bun B, who rapped his verse to the group’s beloved song, “International Players Anthem.”

“I really appreciated that she brought out all the Houston legends once. The real beauties of H-Town came forward and I appreciated that,” explained Bridgette Adiukwu of the town legends.

There were a lot of Megan’s fans from day one who would come out and burst every time she performed older songs from her catalog like “Freak Nasty”, “Sex Talk”, “Big Ole Freak”, “What’s New “, “Realer”, “Cash S**t” and “Captain Hook”. The powerful energy in the atmosphere constantly reached new levels as the crowd stayed up all night banging out his lyrics word for word. Her engaging stage presence and choreography impressed the “Hot Girls” and “Hot Boys.” It also proved that she was in great shape from her gym sessions and dance workouts, as the former HBCU cheerleader never stopped using her knees all night long. Additionally, she showed off her Prairie View A&M Panther Doll skills when she performed a solo routine to “Cognac Queen.” She and her background dancers danced effortlessly during most of the songs she performed.

Megan ended the night performing “Savage” and it was obvious that many people were hoping that Beyoncé would surface on stage to sing the remixed version, but she didn’t.

“We did it, Houston hotties,” the rapper told the audience before leaving the stage as confetti scattered from the ceiling.

After the concert, fans couldn’t stop raving, giving her five-star reviews.

“The concert was awesome…I lost my voice,” attendee Quinton Bolling said with a laugh. “Megan Thee Stallion did her biggest, big thing, and I’m so proud of her. I can’t wait for the next tour because it showed up and so did Houston, so I’m so proud and I can’t wait for the next one.

“We were shaking our asses. The hot girl coach came and stopped that bitch,” Christine Smith told Blavity in agreement. “We love Megan! It’s that girl, it’s her mother and we are so happy for her. We are proud. Fuck everyone who doesn’t fuck her!

One thing is for sure, Megan has made her mark in the music industry with the help of the Hot Girl Summer Tour and isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. The next big thing on the rap star’s agenda is his new self-titled album, Mégane, which will be released later this month on Friday June 28.
