AceShowbiz - This weekend saw Latto launch her eagerly awaited tour in support of her third studio album, "Sugar Honey Iced Tea." The 22-date trek opened in Tampa, featuring guest performances by Mariah the Scientist and KARRAHBOOO. While the crowd had a blast, Latto herself was less than pleased with how the night unfolded.
Shortly after her performance, Latto took to social media to express her discontent. "Show was a hot mess," she began. "Could've been worse. But, hey baby, what can you do. I did my job."
She assured her fans that she plans to talk to her crew to figure out what went wrong. "I did my job," she reiterated, adding that the "lighting [crew is] getting cussed out, [the] video [crew is] getting cussed out, [the] wardrobe [team is] getting cussed out."
Latto's next performance is scheduled for October 27 in Tennessee at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium. Despite her critical review of the opening night, there is hope that forthcoming shows will run smoother. The issues that plagued the Tampa performance seem set to be addressed head-on.
Thankfully, the fans who attended were not put off by the technical difficulties. Latto shared on her Instagram Story the various gifts her supporters had brought her, including a small teddy bear wearing a "Big Mama Better" t-shirt. "Thank you Tampa [heart emoji]," she captioned the post.
As the tour moves forward, fans and crew members alike are hopeful that the first night's hiccups were merely initial teething problems. Latto's commitment to addressing these issues shows her determination to provide the best experience for her fans.
