Concert synopsis
Carpenter opening the towel and revealing the bodysuit during a show at the O2 Arena in London
At the beginning, a video of Carpenter in the bath is shown, with the narrator reminding her of the show. She rushes out the bath and comes onto the stage wearing a towel. Carpenter then opens the towel to reveal a babydoll nightgown with garters. She opens the show with "Taste" and "Good Graces", with her dancers.[7] This is followed by a welcome note where Carpenter thanks her opening act, followed by a performance of "Slim Pickins" by the fireplace,[8] and "Tornado Warnings" with a male backup dancer.[9] She ends the set with "Lie to Girls" with female dancers and a short snippet of "Decode".[10] Carpenter opens the next set with a fictional advertisement,[citation needed] followed by a performance of "Bed Chem" in a round shaped bed with female dancers.[8]
The next set opens with an intro to a fictional sitcom, "Sabrina After Dark", where her band and backup singers are introduced,[11] and she appears in a custom Patou black lace jumpsuit[12] followed by a jazz rendition of "Feather". Carpenter proceeds to perform "Fast Times" and "Read Your Mind". Carpenter later enters a bathroom while performing "Sharpest Tool", followed by a short snippet of "Opposite".[13] She proceeds to perform "Because I Liked a Boy" and "Coincidence"[10] before spinning a bottle to determine a surprise cover song to perform; "Busy Woman", a bonus track, was sometimes performed instead.[14] Carpenter then proceeds to perform "Nonsense", before closing a set with a satirical "Technical Difficulties" screen in place of a custom outro.[15]
The narrator then reappears, recapping the previous highlights of the tour, before Carpenter rushes to him to chastise him about the technical difficulty before firing him out of anger. Two advertisements are shown that lead up to a performance of "Dumb & Poetic",[10] where she appears in a Ludovic de Saint Sernin two-piece dress.[12] She then passes pink handcuffs to an audience member, with an "under arrest for being too hot" alert being displayed on the screen, before proceeding with "Juno".[16][17] While singing "have you ever tried this one?", Carpenter teases new sex positions at every show.[18][19][20] She proceeds with a performance of "Please Please Please" and "Don't Smile" before encoring with "Espresso".[10]
