A scan of her artist page on any streaming service offers a gratifying biography of an artist slowly but surely chipping away at her style in search of a distinct point of view: the lounge jazz stylings of 2020’s Dead End World give way to piquant, post-King Krule bedroom pop on 2022’s Leak Your Own Blues and Billie Eilish-ish pathos on 2023’s Steps EP.

Below, tracked by camera crews, she prowls a bare stage akin to a boxing ring – a rectangle slapped in the middle of the arena, fans everywhere she turns. Such media-heavy, mega-watt staging is immediately at odds with ambiguous opener Chihiro: “You won’t forget my name, not today, not tomorrow, kinda strange, feelin’ sorrow,” she murmurs, featherlight, over distant, rumbling subwoofer and watery electric guitar.The challenge for Eilish’s arena tours has always been to balance her talent for intimacy with her clear interest in spectacle.
