Then, she grabbed the microphone and launched into a passionate opening song.
The crowd went wild again, screams echoing nonstop.
Tawana’s team collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
No one had expected that, after such a major stage mishap, the performance would remain completely unaffected.
Ye Chen, too, finally relaxed, watching Tawana sing with focus from backstage, he couldn’t help but see her in a new light.
Setting aside her personal life, Tawana’s musical talent was unmatched, every song she wrote had a strong hook, which was why she consistently topped the charts.
For the hour-long show, Tawana barely paused, belting out hit after hit, the audience often joining in for massive singalongs, the vibe absolutely electric.
By now, Gu Qiuyi’s entrance was drawing near.
Gu Qiuyi had already reached the lift platform, ready to go.
Just then, Tawana finished a song and began her most famous track, “Romeo.”
The moment the intro hit, the crowd boiled over again, this was the song that made most of them fall for her, undeniably her signature hit.
As Tawana started singing, tens of thousands joined in unison.
After the first verse, during the interlude, she spoke into the mic, “It’s an honour to perform for you all in Yanjing, giving you such an exhilarating show, and today, I’ve specially invited a good friend to be my guest, it’s my first time having a guest at my solo concert, so please give her the warmest applause as she takes the stage!”
The fans were instantly thrilled.
In the past, Tawana’s concerts were all her, she rarely brought in guests, mostly because her popularity was so immense she didn’t need to collaborate with lesser-known artists.
But this time, she not only announced a guest but emphasized it was a close friend she’d personally invited.
The crowd buzzed with guesses about who this mystery guest could be.
Just then, the interlude ended.
All the cameras and screens suddenly focused on the central lift in the middle of the five-stage setup.
The next second, the lift rose, revealing Gu Qiuyi in a white wedding gown, and as she reached the stage, she grabbed a mic and joined Tawana in singing “Romeo.”
The stage had five giant screens, three onstage, the central one being the tilting screen, flanked by two fixed ones, plus two high-def screens on either side, crucial for the distant audience to see clearly.
When Gu Qiuyi’s striking face appeared on the screens, the stadium erupted in near-hysterical cheers.
No one had expected Tawana’s guest to be Gu Qiuyi!
Over half the audience were Chinese, so they recognised her instantly, many of her fans even stood to clap for her.
At that moment, Tawana walked over to Gu Qiuyi, who’d just taken the stage, and after her first section, gave her a warm hug.
Then, raising her mic, Tawana shouted, “Please give your loudest applause to welcome Miss Gu Qiuyi!”
