The indie pop artist wrapped up her US tour last night (December 18) after a three-night show at Massey Hall in Toronto, Ontario, which was postponed due to her “extreme exhaustion” back in October.
During the final three performances, Clairo engaged with her audience; on the first evening (December 16), she invited a fan on stage who attempted a cartwheel in the splits— a move that caused a wardrobe malfunction. The stunts were far less extravagant compared to the previously popular trend of fans performing somersaults on stage.
The perfect tour.
Thank you
To my band and crew and everything in between
To everyone who came ❤️
I love you to the moonSee you in February!

Memorable Moments
On the second night (December 17), select fans participated in a trumpet competition, celebrating Clairo’s viral performance of “Juna” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon where she played a trumpet sample during her song.
To conclude the three-day tour and the North American leg of the “Charm” tour, Clairo invited four audience members for a rap battle, which was accompanied by a vocalist providing a mellow rhythm.
The rap battle reached its peak when one fan delivered the line: “Then we have you / I don't mean to be rude / But you should go to someone else for your tattoos”, prompting a round of applause from the audience.

Earlier in her tour, Clairo encouraged male concert-goers to “stop yelling” and “be respectful” towards other attendees.
After her Portland, Oregon performance in October, the “Sexy To Some” singer tweeted, “Portland was fun! Maybe the guys at my concerts will stop yelling at me :).”
She clarified: “To be clear, it is normal for men to like my music. You don't have to feel embarrassed about it. But when you come to my concerts, please be respectful of me and the other audience members! Thank you.”
The latest release from Clairo is her third album titled “Charm.” In a four-star review of the record, NME noted, “While desire may be the primary theme of ‘Enchantment’, it also serves as a tribute to connection and the comfort that arises from it—whether it’s fleeting or enduring, with a partner or simply with loved ones.”
“'Glory Of The Snow', a beautiful winter-themed penultimate track, honors the support of others. “When I cry, I want to call you,” she expresses. “I can breathe with you right here, alone with me.” Ultimately, ‘Charm’ encapsulates the yearning to be recognized and connect with those who not only seek you but also understand you, easing the complexities of life.”

Additionally, her song “Sexy To Something” secured 34th place in NME Flood Magazine’s list of the 50 Best Songs of 2024. They noted, “On her previous albums, Clairo created cozy, complex indie-pop melodies— the kind that easily puts you at ease. With this standout track from her more assertive third album ‘Charm,’ characterized by catchy choruses and rhythmic basslines, she demonstrates her ability to get us dancing too.”
