And then, for about 45 minutes, she changed the name of Citizen&#8217;s Bank Park to Whatever Brandi Wants To Call It. <\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s &#8220;The Story,&#8221; from her second album, the one that broke her into a wide audience in a rather storybook sort of way. And she&#8217;s somehow better live than she is recorded-in-studio.<\/p>\n<p>Then Pink came on, and promptly renamed the place again. She&#8217;s the headliner, and she&#8217;s every bit a star, of course. And this was a good show, as you&#8217;d imagine. There was also a little Sinead O&#8217;Connor interlude. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pJsx7ir8Eok?si=63FdrpqYa3-q-dm1\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I wondered how this inevitable duet would come off.
