Donning reindeer ears and red Santa hats, a sea of concert-goers were treated to Rodrigo’s first live performance of her “The Hunger Games” ballad, “Can’t Catch Me Now,” along with songs off her sophomore set “Guts.” The yuletide spirit was high when Carpenter — sporting a cutesy Santa-inspired outfit — performed “Santa Doesn’t Know You Like I Do” and “Is It New Years Yet?” off her November EP, “Fruitcake.”
On the red carpet, (G)I-DLE teased their upcoming album telling Variety‘s Tiana DeNicola that “2024 is going to be an amazing year because (G)I-DLE is preparing for the next album,” adding that the year would hold plenty of “surprises” for their fans.
The next Jingle Ball concert is scheduled for Monday night in Chicago’s Allstate Arena, featuring Jelly Roll, Big Time Rush, Doechii, (G)I-DLE and Kaliii.
Nicki Minaj was originally slated to appear in Chicago though she recently shared on X that she will have to sit out to complete her album due Dec. 8. Lil Wayne has replaced her. Minaj is still slated to play Jingle Ball for its Miami and Atlanta iterations.
