Spanos also highlighted that the show emphasized communal experiences and inclusive gestures, reinforcing Styles' message of kindness. She also noted that the encore, featuring "Kiwi" underscored Styles' rockstar charisma, leaving the audience excited and fully embracing his call for self-expression and celebration.
