In the end, she decided to go into her 2012 song Genesis, but ultimately the set was cut short and she left the stage at around the 50 minute mark.
Grimes took to X (formerly Twitter) a few hours before hitting the stage to let fans know that she was not expecting a perfect performance, which turned out to be correct.
