Twins Fans Experience “Every Little Thing” at Last Postgame Concert of the Year 

Immediately after the Twins finished shaking hands, a crew wheeled out a pre-assembled stage from left field. It took the stage crew about a half hour to set up the stage, with Pearce kicking off her set at 9:15 p.m.

While Pearce often performs at awards shows and country music festivals, playing at Target Field was a unique experience for her.

"I have to say this is the first time I've ever played in the middle of a baseball field," Pearce told the crowd with a laugh while kicking off a show. 

Pearce entered the field on the back of a golf cart driven from left field. 

During her 75-minute set, Pearce, wearing a custom Twins jersey with the number 29 after her 2021 album "29: Written in Stone," performed songs ranging from retrospective to empowering. In between songs, she shared heartfelt anecdotes with the crowd, such as how much her fans mean to her, and she almost constantly waved and acknowledged her fans, many of whom were women and young girls, even while singing. It was wholesome and sweet. 

Pearce recounted to the crowd how she worked many jobs while chasing her country music dream. She told the crowd she wrote the song "Every Little Thing," her biggest hit, while she was employed cleaning AirBnbs.

Other anecdotes were more humorous. Pearce told the crowd that her "bucket list" artist she always wanted to collaborate on a song with was Chris Stapleton. In true modern-day fashion, she said she messaged Stapleton's wife on Instagram saying so. 

The two artists then teamed up on "We Don't Fight Anymore."

Fans slow danced, swayed, and pulled out their cell phone lights to some of her slower, introspective songs like "Never Wanted to Be That Girl." 

Even though Pearce is an accomplished songwriter and Grammy Award winner in her own right, the night's biggest cheers came when Pearce performed Shania Twain's Girl Power-infused "Man! I feel like a Woman!" in the middle of her set. 

Some Twins players and their families stuck around for part of the concert, including Brock Stewart, Alex Kirilloff, Royce Lewis, and Kyle Farmer, who was adorably playing with and chasing around his young son in front of the Twins dugout. 

Target Field has hosted many shows this season; Pearce's is the last. Hip hop artist T-Pain performed a postgame show on June 15, Imagine Dragons and The Killers headlined the inaugural TC Summer Fest during the July All-Star Break, and Pink brought her highflying "Summer Carnival" tour to Target Field in August. 

While Pearce drew a smaller crowd than fellow country artist Cole Swindell last season and T-Pain in June, she put on an excellent show for those in the crowd. Oozing warmth and genuine gratitude, she repeatedly thanked those in attendance for sticking around and even waved and called out to those sitting way up in Target Field's upper deck, saying that she wished they were closer. Pearce seemed genuinely excited to be in Minnesota, and she gave Twins fans, even those who might not be wild about country music, plenty to love.
