Trivia[]
- This show marked the first time the original version of "Fantasy" was performed since the Daydream World Tour in 1996.
- Additionally, it was the first time Carey performed "Nevertheless I'm in Love With You."
- Carey performed the "Superclean" version of "Obsessed" (also known as the video version), with the words "weed" and "E" censored out.
- Carey also changed the lyrics of the song for this show. Instead of "Lyin' that you're sexin' me," Carey sang "Lyin' that you're texin' me," possibly to conform to the country's standards of modesty.
