She delivered her statement to a crowd of fans as part of an evening stacked with political references and commentary.
The singer delivered her remarks on Christianity before performing her single “True Believer” and was met with cheers from the crowd.
The song is a dark, piano tune that calls out Christian hypocrisy, commercialized megachurches, and the departure from truly following the Christian faith for all that it embodies.

She set the tone for her audience before she even walked on stage.
Her pre-show playlist kicked off with Macklemore’s “Can’t Hold Us.” She inserted songs from Lukas Graham, Finneas, Aaron Rowe, and Beoga — all artists who withdrew from Sheeran’s tour in a show of solidarity — before ending the playlist with another of Macklemore’s singles, “Thrift Shop.” (RELATED: Kash Patel’s Personal Life Takes A New Turn)

The two Macklemore songs were the ones he performed while opening for Ed Sheeran’s tour, before he was removed from the lineup over pro-Palestinian messages delivered on stage.
Williams carried the theme through her performance by chanting “Fuck ICE” and “Free Palestine” into the mic — a tradition she has continued throughout her “Ego Death” tour.
She wrapped up her show with a call to action, telling fans, “I’ll see you next time. Until then, please take care of you. Take care of each other – and for fuck’s sake, let’s vote in November,” according to Hangups Music.
