She recorded two albums and toured six times with Fifth Harmony, with her voice and persona growing more assured with every turn. There was an admirable precision to the show. She also reworked some of her big-name collaborations to fill out the 90-minute set, throwing in renditions of Major Lazer’s “Know No Better” and Machine Gun Kelly’s “Bad Things.” Musically, Cabello veered from slick electro pop (“In the Dark”) and windblown ballads (“All These Years”) to Latin-flavored jams (“Into It”) and a tear-stained take on the classic “Can’t Help Falling in Love.”
Topless male dancers pirouetted in and out of view, fog machines worked overtime enshrouding the live band in a white haze, and the video clips on the scrim above looked like trailers for a big budget motion picture.Ĭabello was recently named as one of the support acts for Taylor Swift’s upcoming “Reputation” world tour, which reaches Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara on May 11 and 12. The concert, part of the singer’s “Never Be the Same” tour, had all the makings of a spectacle fit for an arena - no, make that a stadium. Instead, she settled for pulling about a dozen of her fans onstage to help her deliver the chorus - about the loneliness of life on tour, no less - closing out the song by kissing them all. “You guys know you’re my real friends, right?” she said introducing a song called - what else? - “Real Friends.” “The best situation would be that I could sing it to each and every one of you.” Cabello may have achieved fame as a member of Fifth Harmony, the vocal group formed by castoffs from the reality-singing show “The X Factor,” but the key to her success is rooted in something more old school: dishing out unfettered praise to the iPhone-waving disciples who have stuck with her since she released her breakout solo hit last summer, “Havana.”
