Written by: Keyali Mikaela
Cold? Check. Rain? Check. Iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre packed to the brim? Double check. On September 23, Reneé Rapp officially kicked off her highly anticipated Bite Me Tour, and fans came ready to brave the elements for what turned out to be an unforgettable night. From the first note to the last, Rapp proved why she’s one of pop’s brightest rising stars.
Opening the night was the incredible Ravyn Lenae, whose Billboard Hot 100 hit “Love Me Not” had the crowd dancing through the drizzle. Her set perfectly warmed up the audience, building anticipation for the main event—and when Rapp finally hit the stage, the energy was immediate and electric.
From the very first beats of Leave Me Alone, Rapp had the crowd screaming and singing along. She brought full popstar vibes, complete with flawless choreography, powerhouse vocals, and stage presence that had every fan glued to her every move. High-energy anthems like Mad and Why Is She Still Here? had fans jumping, while emotional tracks like Sometimes and I Can’t Have You Around Me Anymore hit hard, reminding everyone why Rapp’s music resonates so deeply.
One of the standout moments came when she performed Colorado, a sweet nod to the opening night location. Even with the cold rain falling, the audience sang along to every lyric, showing up big for their girl. Rapp also made sure to include hits from her debut album Snow Angel and her earlier EP Everything To Everyone, like the viral favorite In The Kitchen, blending new material with beloved classics seamlessly.
Her choreography was tight, playful, and totally on-brand—Rapp moved across the stage with confidence, switching from choreographed group numbers to intimate moments with just her and a mic. It wasn’t just a concert; it was a full-on pop show experience. Between songs, she engaged with the audience, sharing laughs, stories, and hype moments that made the show feel personal, even in a massive venue like Red Rocks.
