Reception

edit

The shows were a success in that 46 dates were sold out, and on Ticketmaster.com the audience gave a rating to the tour of 4.8 out of 5 stars.[2] Reception was not uniformly positive, however. The Orange County Register lamented that her racial insensitivity ruined her performance in Anaheim. It specifically criticized Stirling's speech linking her cover of Rihanna's "We Found Love" with a corporate-sponsored international volunteering tour in Kenya, which perpetuated racist and colonialist attitudes toward its citizens. That review also criticized her misleading interpretation of Maya Angelou's poem "Caged Bird", which inspired Stirling's "Song of the Caged Bird", when she failed to mention the history of anti-Black racism in the U.S., a core part of the poem's meaning.[3]
