Ciara brought her signature energy, choreography and a catalogue of hits to the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas, delivering one of the standout performances from the festival\u2019s second night.<\/p>\n
Taking the stage at T-Mobile Arena on Saturday, September 19, the R&B and pop star took fans on a journey through different eras of her career, opening with \u201cGet Up\u201d before moving through some of the songs that established her as one of the defining performers of her generation.<\/p>\n
Ciara performed fan favourites including \u201cGoodies,\u201d \u201cOh,\u201d \u201c1, 2 Step,\u201d \u201cLike a Boy,\u201d \u201cYes,\u201d \u201cHow We Roll\u201d and \u201cLevel Up,\u201d giving the Las Vegas crowd a set packed with familiar hits and high-energy choreography.<\/p>\n
The singer also showed that she has no intention of slowing down despite being pregnant with her fifth child. During her performance of \u201cLike a Boy,\u201d Ciara pulled off one of her signature backbend moves while holding her baby bump, drawing a huge reaction from the audience.<\/p>\n
She later joked with the crowd about her unborn child, saying the baby was \u201cbouncin\u2019 around\u201d while she performed and adding that she was going to \u201cstay movin\u2019\u201d and dancing.<\/p>\n
The performance comes just weeks after Ciara and her husband, Russell Wilson, announced that they are expecting their fourth child together. Ciara is also mother to Future Zahir, whom she shares with rapper Future.<\/p>\n
Ciara was among the major performers on the second night of the two-day festival, joining Benson Boone, Lainey Wilson, LE SSERAFIM, Major Lazer, Muse, Snoop Dogg and The Smashing Pumpkins on the lineup.<\/p>\n
Her appearance further highlighted the breadth of her catalogue, with songs spanning from her early-2000s breakthrough through her more recent releases. From \u201cGoodies\u201d and \u201c1, 2 Step\u201d to \u201cLevel Up,\u201d Ciara reminded the audience why her music and performance style have remained a fixture in pop and R&B for more than two decades.<\/p>\n
The 2026 iHeartRadio Music Festival took place across September 18 and 19 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with the performances also made available through iHeartMedia\u2019s radio network and Disney+ and Hulu.<\/p>\n
For Ciara, the Las Vegas performance was another opportunity to showcase the combination of music, dance and stage presence that has defined her career and she did it while embracing a new chapter in her personal life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
