Review: Sam Smith delivered a charmingly posh show at Dickies Arena
Sam Smith on stage at Dickies Arena (Rich Lopez/DV) Sam Smith brought their Gloria Tour to Fort Worth Thursday night. The Grammy and Oscar-winning headlined Dickies Arena to a robust audience filled with a healthy spectrum of queer-spectrum folks, date night hetero couples, parents with younger children and a large amount of suburban real housewives type all out for a good time.
With moody beats and lewks served, Smith fulfilled that for their fans. Opener – and oft-Smith-collaborator – Jessie Reyez opened the show.
Looking like 19, the 32-year-old delivered a power-packed opening set with a number of her own fans singing (and screaming) along to her every song.
With that, she doesn’t yet have the stage presence to be commanding, but she was working hard to perform to the floor audience as well as those flanking both sides of the stage.
