Victoria Monét delivered an electrifying performance at the 2024 ESSENCE Festival on Sunday, July 7th. The Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter thrilled the audience with live renditions of fan favorites like “A** Like That,” “On My Mama,” and “Alright”.
During a dance break, Monét showcased her impressive moves by energetically performing the viral dance to GloRilla’s hit song “TGIF.” This performance caught the attention of GloRilla herself, who shared a clip on her Instagram Story and praised Monét’s performance with the caption “Yea!”
Social media was abuzz with praise for Monét’s performance, with one commenter noting that she “definitely comes from the Janet [Jackson], Beyoncé and Britney [Spears] school” of dance and stage presence. Another fan expressed their desire for Monét to release a “turn-up high-tempo song” that would allow her to further showcase her dynamic dance skills.
Despite Monét’s recent involvement in a Twitter feud between GloRilla and JT, there appears to be no lingering bad blood between the two artists. Monét addressed the incident during an Instagram Live session, explaining that a member of her social media team had accidentally reshared a tweet related to the feud, and that she had promptly fired the employee responsible.
Overall, Victoria Monét’s ESSENCE Festival performance was a resounding success, showcasing her exceptional vocal and dance abilities and solidifying her status as a rising star in the music industry.
