Noah Cyrus in Grand Rapids
Straddling the sounds of pop, country, and indie, Noah Cyrus shared her discography to a nearly sold out crowd in Grand Rapids, Michigan on September 26th, 2023 at the Intersection. Emerging in a unique piece by Colors Clothing Company, Cyrus began her set with the first track off of her album, The Hardest Part, titled "Noah (Stand Still)". She played a range of tracks from hits like "July" and "Make Me Cry" to duets like "Again" which features XXXTENTACION and "The Best of You" featuring PJ Harding.
Different from other shows l've seen in Grand Rapids, the audience varied in age and aesthetic. Some were dressed for Noah's more country side of music, while others matched her dark, gothic-like looks she's been sporting this tour. Based on her stage presence alone, Cyrus is a performer through and through. While she wasn't one to be dancing or moving around much, the emotion she portrayed and likeness to her audience was enough to have every member in the crowd singing along with her. It was truly a sight to see and a wonder that Noah Cyrus hasn't made her way through Grand Rapids in more recent years.
With support from Anna Bates, the second leg of Cyrus' The Hardest Part tour treated the Grand Rapids crowd to a performance that we'll all be talking about for years to come.
