Fresh off popping up during Bad Bunny’s halftime show in La Casita over the weekend, Cardi B officially launched her Little Miss Drama arena tour Wednesday night (Feb. 11) at Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, CA — stacking the setlist with Invasion of Privacy staples and sticky standouts from her sophomore LP Am I the Drama?
With more than a dozen dancers backing her, Cardi delivered a turbo-charged, nearly two-hour set, squeezing in as many hits and new-era favorites as possible — even if it meant powering through just a verse and chorus to keep things moving. The star engaged in chair choreography, flew elevated over the crowd on a flying throne, and even delivered a salsa number worthy of Dancing with the Stars.
“They thought I wasn’t gonna be sold out. What? Y’all was ready for my tour?!” she asked the crowd before launching into “WAP.” “Let me hear Palm Springs right quick. This is the first crowd! First crowd, and it’s sold out! Bardi f–ing gang, mothaf—r.”
Cardi first announced that she was going on tour while guest-hosting Today with Jenna Bush Hager last September, telling the anchor she’d be “going straight to rehearsal” after dropping the LP. “I’m going to be working out — I hate working out, but I gotta do it,” she joked. And she sure delivered, sneaking in complex choreography on several of her songs, including “Money” and “On My Back.”
The 35-date run for her Little Miss Drama tour continues Thursday in Las Vegas, with arena stops through April 18, including a hometown show at Madison Square Garden in New York City on March 25.
Below is the complete, 37-song setlist for the first night of Cardi B’s Little Miss Drama Tour:
