Sensationalism

The article uses sensational language to describe the concert and the performers.

There was no question going into Thursday's Target Center concert that Doja Cat has become a major player in pop and hip-hop music. There were, however, a lot of questions about how she would play as an arena headliner. At 28, the Los Angeles-reared rapper and singer born Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini has racked up 11 U.S. singles in the Top 40 since the release of her 2018 debut album — several of which she brazenly left off the setlist on her current tour. She has also garnered a huge presence on social media and celeb gossip sites, sometimes with contentious results. No surprise, then, Doja Cat drew a sold-out crowd for her first major headlining show in the Twin Cities. About 15,000 people showed up, mostly Gen Z- and millennial-aged fans.

Biased language

Even more of a newcomer at age 21, Spice (Bronx's Isis Naija Gaston) played to an almost full audience. The crowd erupted to her first bit of booty-shaking twerking in the opening song, 'Deli,' and she kept on twerking in almost every song. Despite her inexperience — she was just a viral act a year ago — Ice Spice proved a fiery rapper on stage. Her delivery offered more drama and hard-spitting flow compared to her sometimes too-atonal recordings, especially in her NSFW finale 'Munch (Feelin' U).'

Omission of key information

The article omits key information about the concert and the performers.

Attendance was no doubt boosted by the presence of Taylor Swift's 'Karma' collaborator Ice Spice in the opening slot. The stage production was old-school-hip-hop minimal during Spice's set. It got a lot more elaborate once Doja took the stage wearing a faux fur coat alongside giant, moving video screens to the tune of 'WYM Freestyle (What You Mean).'
