Iconic Singer and Songwriter Bonnie McKee Stuns on Tour With Kiesza
Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Bonnie McKee has fully cemented her place as a pop icon, and she's been reminding us precisely why she's the queen on the Dancing and Crying Tour with dance sensation Kiesza.
As a performer, she's perhaps best known for her 2014 mega-hit "American Girl," but she's also a hit-making songwriter who's penned 10 No. 1 hits, including Katy Perry's "Roar," "Teenage Dream" and "California Gurls" as well as Britney Spears' "Hold It Against Me" and Taio Cruz's "Dynamite." Basically, if you love pop music, you're already a Bonnie McKee fan.
We were lucky enough to catch Bonnie at Saint Rocke in Hermosa Beach, California on Sunday, Oct. 13, where she put on a jaw-dropping, high-energy show we won't soon forget.

"Nothing makes me happier than hearing the songs I wrote sung back to me!" Bonnie shared in a post on Instagram following the big night. "Let's keep it goin y'all š Next upā¦ San Diego, Vegas and Pioneertown."

There also couldn't be a perfect more time to see Bonnie live, since this summer, she dropped her decade-in-the-making sophomore album, Hot City, showcasing her truly unique brand of bombastically irresistible pop at its peak.

Included on the album of 16 maximalist and technicolor pop tracks are fan-favorites such as "Forever 21," "Don't Get Mad Famous" and "Snatched," as well as the song that put her on the map, "American Girl."

Bonnie will also be putting on a very special performance at The Echo in L.A. on Halloween night that's sure to include twist or two. If you're a Los Angeles local, we don't recommend missing it!
