Of course, it was not just about the music and performances. The night became even more unforgettable when dancers tossed away some souvenirs during the performance.

After singing “Womb,” butterfly confetti filled the stadium, sending fans’ spirits skyrocketing. As the tour drew to a close, Martinez expressed her appreciation to the fans for a worthwhile moment shared by all of them.
