- The performance commenced with Abor playing a white electric cello lit by neon lights. He is sitting on a chair. One of the staging elements is a long curtain that goes from the ceiling to the floor.
- While hearing the bass playing, the curtain opens and reveals Tynna and the dancers. Tynna is standing on the mentioned platform during the first verse and first chorus.
- Thereafter, she descends to join her dancers who light her up with handheld spotlights.
- Among the effects, we can see diagonal smoke jets.
- The LED walls present “BALLER” in black font, as well as pulsing white and blue strobe lights.
- In the last verse and chorus, Tynna dances on the walkway, as Abor plays his cello on top of the boombox.
- The performance ends with the boombox exploding alongside fireworks.
#2. 🇫🇷 France: Louane – Maman
- Louane is alone on stage. She is barefoot and wearing a long, black lace dress.
