Concert synopsis
Tsai described the central theme of the show as a disco party, and the stage was built with a giant disco ball-shaped LED backdrop in the center. The show began with images of a female robot eventually transforming into Tsai's appearance on the screen. The giant disco ball backdrop opened with a ladder to reveal Tsai inside. She dresses as a gladiator and performed "Butterfly". This was followed by "Pulchritude", "Black-haired Beautiful Girl", "Vogue", and "Honey Trap" while each of these songs had different costume. Tsai made a music and dance cover of Madonna song "Vogue" in tribute to her icon Madonna. After performing "Honey Trap", Tsai performed voguing with American dancer Benny Ninja. During "Parachute", a giant Christmas wreath was then lowered onstage, and Tsai sang the song while sitting on the wreath. During "Dancing Diva", Tsai also performed her classic ribbon dance. Tsai performed the mashup of "Butterflies in My Stomach", "Music", "Can't Get You Out of My Head", and "Just Dance". The final segment started after a group of dancers performing the "acrobatics" Tsai did throughout her career. This was followed by Tsai striking yoga poses on an aerial hoop. The show ended when Tsai dancing in spraying water.
