The Good Witch Tour: British pop sensation and singer-songwriter Maisie Peters wrapped up the North American leg of her “The Good Witch Tour” on October 11th with a sensational sold-out performance at Roadrunner in Boston. This accomplishment was the culmination of a series of triumphant shows, all while opening for Ed Sheeran’s “Mathematics Tour” at stadiums across the globe.
Peters’ sophomore album, “The Good Witch,” represents a journey of growth and healing following her debut album, “You Signed Up For This,” which primarily delved into themes of heartbreak. Through her catchy melodies and lyrically clever compositions, Peters has declared this autumn as a season of healing, both for herself and her fans, asserting her success as a pop artist over any past encounters that may have made her feel otherwise.
The opening act for the show was Grace Enger, a New Jersey-based singer-songwriter, who delivered an acoustic set featuring original songs from her new EP, “Well Here We Are.” Enger’s captivating voice, illuminated solely by a spotlight and accompanied by her guitar, entranced the audience as they filled the venue.
Maisie Peters took the stage with a punk-rock rendition of the opening track and title of her album, “The Good Witch.” Accompanied by her band, Peters delivered an electric performance that left the audience in awe, as they powered through a total of 22 songs with minimal breaks.
Peters’ lively and animated stage presence made use of the entire stage, and she actively engaged with her devoted fanbase throughout the show. At one point, she interacted with the audience, encouraging them to share relationship horror stories and biggest red flags, setting the stage for her honest and facetious single, “Run.” In this song, Peters playfully pokes fun at past relationships, using them as cautionary tales, and humorously advises, “If a man says that he wants you in his life foreverrun.”
The performance of her single, “Not Another Rockstar,” had the crowd in a frenzy, dancing and enjoying the music. Peters’ lyrics dripped with sarcasm as she narrated her experiences with “tortured artist” ex-partners who never took her seriously.
In “There It Goes,” Peters let her lyrics do the talking, without flashy choreography or heavy drums. The song beautifully captures the feeling of awakening after a breakup, relishing life’s simple moments, and finding closure. Singing along to this song provided a cathartic experience for many in the audience.
Reflecting on her journey and the success of the North American leg of the tour, Peters shared her early days of performing for her parents, busking, and playing at open mics. She acknowledged the surreal transformation from those humble beginnings to performing for a sold-out crowd of 3,000 fans in Boston.
Peters expressed her gratitude and then delved into a mashup of songs spanning different albums and times in her life, including One Direction’s “Night Changes,” which resonated deeply on the tour’s closing night.
The connection between Peters and her bandmates was evident, and their performance of “The Band and I” was particularly nostalgic and reminiscent of Taylor Swift‘s “Long Live.” The show also featured a surprise “Happy Birthday” serenade for the keyboard player, Tina Hizon.
For the encore, Peters sang a duet with Grace Enger, performing the album’s closer, “History of Man,” a poignant and lyrically powerful song. The show concluded with Peters and her band performing “Lost the Breakup,” a fun and empowering anthem that encapsulated the central theme of “The Good Witch.”
After the tour, Peters will take a breather in the United Kingdom before embarking on the U.K. and European leg of “The Good Witch Tour.” She hinted at the possibility of returning to the United States for a second round and even offered to officiate a couple’s wedding when she returns to Boston.
