Zolita Live in Philly
Posted: by The Alt Editing Staff
Zolita’s Queen of Hearts Tour at The Foundry was a thrilling night of powerful performances, expertly crafted narratives, and vibrant celebration of WLW (women-loving women) voices. Zolita, alongside her two backup dancers Symone and Sierra, transformed the stage into a glitzy beauty pageant, complete with sparkling costumes and cheeky pageant sashes. Symone was dubbed Miss Pussy Princess, Sierra was Miss Munch Master, and Zolita herself was crowned Miss Lesbian Supreme. This playful setup set the tone for a show that was as much about empowerment as it was about entertainment.
Throughout the night, Zolita and her team delivered an electrifying mix of high-energy pop and soulful introspection. The setlist included hits like Queen of Hearts and 20 Questions, with choreographed dance routines that had the crowd buzzing. Zolita’s charisma and the dancers’ chemistry were infectious, creating an atmosphere of joyous camaraderie. The dynamic staging, complete with synchronized lighting and visual effects, brought each song to life, enhancing the emotional punch of tracks like Single in September, where Zolita reflected on the bittersweet beauty of love and loss.
Zolita’s music feels particularly resonant in a moment where WLW artists like Chappell Roan and Billie Eilish are reaching new heights of popularity and visibility. She embraces her identity with pride, and her performances are infused with the raw, authentic emotion of living openly as a lesbian artist. Her ability to blend personal storytelling with catchy pop hooks creates a powerful connection with her audience.
Zolita transitioned from heart-wrenching ballads to high-energy anthems as the night continued. Her cover of Shania Twain’s That Don’t Impress Me Much was a crowd favorite, blending country twang with her unique style. She brought an empowering message to her songs about self-worth and the beauty of being true to oneself.
The concert wasn’t just a performance; it was a collective celebration of sapphic joy and solidarity. When Zolita reappeared on stage in a blindingly reflective pink dress, it was clear she was determined to celebrate her moment in the spotlight. The audience responded with a wave of cheers, echoing the sentiment that Zolita and her team had successfully created a space where every woman-loving woman could feel seen and celebrated.
Zolita’s Queen of Hearts Tour at The Foundry wasn’t just an event—it was a powerful statement about the strength, resilience, and joy of WLW voices in music today. As she took her final bows and walked off stage, it was obvious that this was just the beginning of a momentous journey for Zolita and her team.
