The intermittent high-pitched screams that burst across Seattle’s KeyArena on Wednesday night — host to Justin Bieber ‘s first full concert in three years — seemed to be the result of the pent-up, giddy anxiety of the 17,000-seat room, filled with a distinctly 2016 roster of Beliebers. There were millennial gals on group dates drinking white wine out of plastic cups, full families of five with the smallest members on laps, preteens with yoga pants and top buns, and a number of men who weren’t there as chaperones.

Fans across the arena spotted excitement-inducing gaps in the stage’s architecture: cut-outs in the floor for risers meant you could see dancers preparing backstage, and a too-short catwalk couldn’t conceal Bieber hopping around in a pre-show hype ritual.

Justin Bieber’s Tour Clothes Have a ‘Purpose,’ Stylist Explains (Exclusive)

Trending on Billboard

Eventually, Bieber entered to “Mark My Words,” the first track off Purpose . He rose up through the floor, ensconced in a glassy cube, wearing a long white coat and armed with dry-erase markers. In a bit of Expo-marker theater, Bieber drew lyrics on the box’s walls in real time with full-body flourishes. Then it was back into the stage floor for a moment of suspense before the first, unmistakable pulse of “Where Are Ü Now.” For the monster hit, Bieber’s crew of dancers tumbled onstage in all-white attire as women suspended in midair did acrobatics against a chrome-y, industrial video backdrop.

Throughout the show, Bieber’s role in the choreography was mostly to stand in the middle, nod in approval and jump in for the parts where his efforts could be limited to club-level exertion. He kept his cool — which, even filtered through the Jumbotron closeups, occasionally meant coming off as disengaged. The Biebs’ vocals, though, sounded smooth as ever.

“Get Used to It,” one of the more dance-friendly non-singles on Purpose , sounded as sharp and expressive as Bieber’s perfectly groomed eyebrows. The track’s combustible performance brought pyrotechnics, as well as movement from the platforms onstage. “I’ll Show You” followed, with Bieber in a cage as he sang, “It’s not easy, when you’re made out of steel” — a dark and confusing setup until the chorus, when an LED light show began flashing across its beams, covering him in exploding octagons and digital fireworks.

For an acoustic rendition of “Love Yourself,” Bieber sat, guitar in hand, on an antique-looking, rose-colored loveseat. Crowd karaoke being almost inevitable for the Ed Sheeran -penned track, Bieber threw in high-reaching flourishes as the crowd carried the regular melody. Though his strumming slightly lost its rhythm as he attempted call-and-response, the crooning audience stuck with him. At this point, Bieber addressed the audience for the first time, asking nonchalantly how exactly Seattle is doing tonight.

In one of the show’s most thrilling (though slightly puzzling) moments, a hidden platform anchored to the ceiling began to descend, during “Company.” It turned out to be a giant, suspended trampoline, on which Justin completed a couple of backflips with impressive grace, and then flopped down on his belly to gaze down at the crowd a story below him.

In the midst of this impressive engineering, there were still some kinks in the production: stagehands left visible by cut-outs in the set, missed lighting cues and occasionally sloppy transitions — all fairly easy to write off as the predictable clunkiness of any show’s opening night.

The first non- Purpose performance of the night was the Bieber classic “Boyfriend,” and at this, the crowd perked up; Belieberism is strongly rooted in its original texts. Dancers in LED-laden black bodysuits created a light show in choreography, proving Biebs was fully capable of offering an updated performance that still rewarded his most invested fans. With a playful and satisfying performance of “Baby” — whose choreography recalled recess — Bieber showed that even all grown up, he still has a place in his heart for bubblegum.

Though Bieber was reverent on “Life Is Worth Living” (which unfortunately featured an apparent earpiece mishap and caused him to miss an entrance) and “Purpose” (which he performed at a white grand piano), one of his few costume changes featured an oversize muscle tee with Marilyn Manson ‘s image on the front, and “BIGGER THAN SATAN” (and slightly lower, “BIEBER”) on the back. Still, his single Crucifix earring glinted in the spotlight. His final wardrobe change was a turn back to the light: a fully Purpose -branded ensemble with sweats and a jean jacket, both of which, the audience was told, would be available for sale.

As the audience chanted for what would be a single-song encore, the crew set up a massive tarp along the stage. The tarp’s purpose (no pun intended) became clear after Bieber re-entered: A thick wall of fake rain began streaming down from the ceiling. The dancers were soaked, but still splashed and strutted in what had become an onstage kiddie pool — eventually, Justin joined. When the rain stopped, he (to some, finally) took off his shirt, but disappeared all too soon. One thing that didn’t, though: the melody from “Sorry,” audible throughout the crowd even after the lights came up and everyone trickled back out into the evening’s natural (and Bieber-less) rain.

Justin Bieber's 'Purpose' Tour Needs These Songs

You can say what you want about Justin Bieber, but you can’t deny that the dude makes good, nay, great music. It just is the way that it is. So, whether you’re the number one Belieber or if you secretly and begrudgingly hit replay on your “This Is Definitely Not A Justin Bieber Playlist” playlist because you just can’t quit him, the news that Bieber has a Purpose tour coming up is pretty much a universally exciting thing. Especially when you consider the plethora of catchy songs over his career that he has to choose from, in addition to all the shiny new ones he’ll certainly deliver to the crowd.

A concert line up is a beautiful thing. Not only do we get a mix of old and new tunes, but remixes, covers, and medleys that we probably wouldn’t get to experience otherwise. And, there’s always the possibility of surprise guests showing up to duet. With that in mind, I think I have a pretty good idea of what the ultimate line up would look like, thus far, for the Purpose Tour. But, you know, there’s always room for those songs yet to be released and surprise jams.

Here’s the Purpose Tour line up I think concert goers need to see Biebs deliver.

1. "Where Are U Now"

I don't know about you, but I picture him ascending from center stage in a cloud of smoke and a sea of strobe lights to this one. It just feels right .

2. "Sorry"

This will, for sure, get everyone up out of their seats.

3. "All That Matters/Heartbreaker" Medley

I think this is a splendid idea. He should really put me on the payroll.

4. "Boyfriend"

I think this may still be my all-time favorite song of his.

5. "Baby"

Because this song should be included in every Biebs show, ever.

6. "I'll Show You"

Raise those phone flashlights, people.

7. "Love Yourself"

Ed Sheeran did good with this one.

8. "Hotline Bling (Remix)"

It's SO GOOD. It's too good. It's also a perfect opportunity to have Drake come onstage.

9. "Confident"

I feel like this song didn't get enough media recognition. The fans would definitely appreciate hearing it, though.

10. "As Long As You Love Me"

11. "The Feeling"

Imagine a surprise duet with Halsey? Imagine Halsey opened for him?!

12. "What Do You Mean?"

Because, duh .

With only a few months separating us from what could be the greatest tour that Biebs has ever done, if these songs don't make the line up, I will be sorely disappointed.

[Verse 1] Feeling like I’m breathing my last breath Feeling like I’m walking my last steps Look at all of these tears I’ve wept Look at all the promises that I’ve kept [Pre-Chorus] I put my all into your hands Here’s my soul to keep I let you in with all that I can You’re not hard to reach [Chorus] And you bless me with the best gift That I’ve ever known You give me purpose Yeah, you’ve given me purpose [Verse 2] Thinking my journey’s come to an end Sending out a farewell to my friends, for inner peace Ask you to forgive me for my sins, oh would you please? I’m more than grateful for the time we spent, my spirit’s at ease [Pre-Chorus] I put my heart into your hands Learn the lessons you teach No matter when, wherever I am You’re not hard to reach [Chorus] And you’ve given me the best gift That I’ve ever known You give me purpose everyday You give me purpose in every way [Bridge] Oh, you are my everything Oh, you are my everything [Outro (Spoken)] I don’t know if this is wrong, because someone else is telling me that it’s wrong. But I feel this so let me just like try my best not to let this happen again. We weren’t necessarily put in the best position to make the best decisions You can’t be hard on yourself for, these were the cards you were given so you have to understand that these, like that’s not who you are. You know you’re trying to be the best you can be, but that’s all you can do. If you don’t give it all you got, you’re only cheating yourself, give it all you got but if it ends up happening, it ends up happening That’s what’s w– happening with me, it’s like “God, I’m giving it all I’ve got, sometimes I’m weak and I’m going to do it.” And it’s like I’m not giving myself grace, I’m just like understanding that’s just how it is

The married couple posted pictures on Instagram of Justin photographing Hailey and showing off her baby bump in a field. The photoshoot was part of their vow renewals, and Hailey was wearing Saint Laurent dress by Anthony Vaccarello. The couple’s combined 343 million Instagram followers shot up millions of likes on the pictures within minutes.

Hailey, the daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin, has modeled for dozens of high-end fashion brands and founded a skincare brand called Rhode in 2022. She previously spoke to GQ about dating a world-famous pop star and the public scrutiny that comes with it.

“Recently, everybody was like, ‘Oh, my God, she’s pregnant,’ and that’s happened to me multiple times before,” she told GQ. “There is something that’s disheartening about, damn, I can’t be bloated one time and not be pregnant? It would be a lie if I was like, ‘Oh, yeah, I don’t give a shit.’”

Hailey Bieber and Justin Bieber Renew Vows During Pregnancy Reveal

It's Baby, Baby, Baby Bieber's first wedding—and their parents' third.

Justin Bieber  and Hailey Bieber announced she is pregnant with their first child . They revealed the news on Instagram, sharing a video of the model showcasing her baby bump in a white lace Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello gown while taking part in an intimate May 9 vow renewal ceremony with the Grammy winner, helmed by their pastor,  Judah Smith .

The couple shared the footage, as well as pics from the Hawaii maternity photo shoot, following weeks of rumors that they'd found a new purpose in life.

"We got together in June, we were engaged in July ," Hailey said when she and Justin sat down with their pastor  and his wife Chelsea for a November 2021 episode of their  In Good Faith with Chelsea & Judah Smith podcast. "We were married in September."

"We used to say that to each other. We always wanted to be married young and have a young family and have kids young."

In fact, having a baby, baby, baby, oh, baby has been a longtime passion for Justin. "I've always had that fairy tale idea," he said, "just wanting to have a wife and kids."

Hailey and Justin Bieber have announced they are expecting their first baby.

The couple shared the news on Thursday on Instagram, both posting a video of Hailey's growing belly.

They also posted a series of photos that show the singer taking photos of his 27-year-old wife, who is dressed in an all-white lace gown.

This will be the first child for the couple, who have been married for six years.

In 2018, Justin Bieber announced on his Instagram page that the pair had become engaged, writing: “Hailey I am soooo in love with everything about you! So committed to spending my life getting to know every single part of you loving you patiently and kindly.”

“You are the love of my life,” he added at the time. “I wouldn’t want to spend it with anybody else.”

Just a few months after announcing their engagement, the couple secretly tied the knot at a New York courthouse.

In 2019, they wed again in a lavish ceremony with family and friends at a luxury resort in South Carolina.

Taylor Swift unveils new ‘Tortured Poets Department’ outfits at Eras Tour in Paris

Just call it tortured couture.

Following a two-month break, Taylor Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour resumed in Paris, France, on Thursday — and along with adding several songs from her latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” to the already-sprawling setlist, the superstar treated lucky ticket holders to some fresh fashion, too.

Swift performed new tunes “But Daddy I Love Him,” “So High School,” “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?,” “Down Bad” and “Fortnight” wearing a white taffeta dress with a corseted bodice, dramatic hip draping and her own lyrics (“I love you, it’s ruining my life”) scrawled down the high-low skirt — a custom design by Vivienne Westwood, as the brand confirmed to Page Six Style.

She accessorized with one of the house’s signature three-row Orb chokers ($720) and, before launching into “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived,” topped off her gown with a matching white trench coat featuring military-style epaulettes and frogging.

Swift then switched things up with an on-stage costume change, stripping down to a second Vivienne Westwood ensemble: a black crystal-embellished bra top and briefs, which she layered beneath a metallic gold tailcoat with black crystal-embellished lapels to close out the “TTPD” section with “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.”

The new costumes are perfectly in line with the literature-inspired looks Swift’s been exploring while promoting “TTPD” — think corsets, pleated skirts and plenty of black and white .

“There’s definitely a ‘literary academia’ style that’s going on,” Taylor Swift Style blogger Sarah Chapelle told Page Six Style last month. “The [visuals] are telling a very cohesive story, which is clearly pointing to being inspired by female poets of the past.”

The “Black Dog” singer collaborated with a number of major fashion houses on her stage styles for the Eras Tour, all of which are inspired by her past album aesthetics .

Standouts include the bedazzled Atelier Versace bodysuits Swift wears during the “Lover” section of her performance, the sparkling Roberto Cavalli crop-top-and-miniskirt combos she sports for the “1989” segment and the flowing, fluttering Alberta Ferretti gowns that add ethereal drama to the “Folklore” portion of the show.

And given that the aforementioned brands provided several different color variations of each look for Swift to rotate between as her tour rolls on, additional “TTPD” costumes are practically guaranteed to pop up at the shows ahead.
