The Megan Thee Stallion show in San Francisco on Sunday was a bit of a mixed bag. The hip-hop star came across like a complete force of nature early on, delighted a packed house of some 15,000 fans on Sunday night at Chase Center in San Francisco. This stop on the stars Hot Girl Summer tour was woefully mismanaged at times, feeling increasingly repetitive as the night wore on. Despite some flaws, the 29-year-old San Antonio native showcased her ample rapping abilities with poise and power, sending fans into hysterics with her performances of Ungrateful, Thot (Expletive), and Freak Nasty.
Megan Thee Stallion took the stage alone before being joined by eight dancers who moved together in a mighty formation, showcasing their twerking abilities. Twerking comprised a significant portion of the show, with dancers, crowd members, and the star herself getting in on the action. The hip-hop star had the crowd worked into a frenzy for the first half of the show, illustrating why shes one of the most charismatic rappers in the game. However, as the show wore on, some repetition set in, and the lack of fresh ideas became apparent. The concert came to a grinding halt during an overly long segment where Megan Thee Stallion invited dozens of fans onstage for a twerk fiesta, which left many feeling disengaged.
As the concert progressed, the lack of variety in the performance led to diminishing returns for the audience. The setlist, which consisted of 30 songs including hits like Big Ole Freak, WAP, and Savage, showcased the range of Megans music. However, the reliance on prerecorded tracks for vocals and the extended twerking segments detracted from the overall experience. The evening concluded with the energetic opening act GloRilla joining Megan Thee Stallion on stage for Wanna Be, which served as a highpoint in an otherwise repetitive and overly long show.
In conclusion, the Megan Thee Stallion show at Chase Center was a mix of high energy performances and moments that felt drawn out. The charisma and talent of the hip-hop star were evident, but the mismanagement of the show led to some repetitive and boring segments. Despite these flaws, the combination of Megans rapping abilities, stage presence, and energy made for an entertaining night for fans at the Footprint Center.
