The singer-songwriter and Youtuber Maia, professionally known as mxmtoon, opened for the pop band AJR on Wednesday, June 10 as Dickies Arena lit up with playful, vibrant colors while the band’s music zipped through audiences’ bodies.
The opening song “fever dream,” featured in her first EP dawn, set the mood for the night. It brightened up the eager crowd with gentle guitar plucking and soft, warm lighting.
The soothing introduction quickly shifted to a heavier pop sound that smoothly shifted to the upbeat song “frown.” In between songs, Maia interacted with the audience with witty, observant comments, like, “Y’all realize that Fort Worth is one word away from being Fortnite, right?” Approaching the middle of the set, Maia kept the excitement going by playing her hit song “prom dress,” off her debut album The Masquerade, and phones quickly emerged among the sea of people to record the well-known tune.
