SAN FRANCISCO — The fog may have rolled back in for the early evening set of Megan Thee Stallion at the Land’s End stage, but that couldn’t dull the explosive supernova to light up the polo field. The rapper offered up a fierce performance full of crowd-pleasers that kept the masses moving from start to finish.

“If you’ve got room to shake ya ass, this is what I want to see,” she said, getting down low to the ground and shaking her own.

The set was fueled by a sense of individualism, strength and body positivity. Every time the rapper turned around to shake her rear, the crowd lost it, cheering her on at every turn. The stage was illuminated in red, with steps that also projected hi-definition video. Megan, donning a skintight pink leotard to go with her dark red hair, was joined by a team of dancers that helped feed the energy.

“Where my hot girls at?” she asked, before yelling, “Real hot girl shit!”

Over an hour on stage, Megan offered up a call-and-response of “real hot girl shit” frequently between songs. Her personality was as big as her anthems, chatting it up between songs, even calling out fans with signs and having a “conversation” with them from the stage. She was in good spirits and the crowd returning the favor in kind, singing the songs and shaking their bodies.

“Where my big ol’ freaks at?” she asked, again eliciting a big response before launching into a song of the same name. Throughout the show she referenced her fans as “hot girls” and “hot boys.”

The crowd fed on the risqué performance, with the singer occasionally making sexual gestures with her microphone.

“I wanted to bring some of you up here, but they told me I couldn’t,” she said. “I guess I’ll have to come out there to you.”

At the midway point, Megan briefly left the stage to let her dancers take over. The flows were tight and the moves were dialed in. The rapper’s personality shined throughout. She took control of the momentum and didn’t let go.

All the hits were accounted for, including requisite anthems “WAP” and “Body.” Prior to the latter, she had fans cheer if they were proud of their own bodies. She also took on her detractors, declaring that the haters weren’t able to bring her—or her fans—down by their words.

The only awkward part of the set was the abrupt ending. As she made her way through the finale, the music quickly faded, and Megan Thee Stallion left the stage.
