Maren Morris rose from the ground to the stage in a white outfit and guitar playing her song "Girl" to open her Girl Tour to a Chicago crowd on Saturday night.

Morris's hour and a half set saw her perform several songs from her new Girl album including "Common," I Got The Feels" and "All My Favorite People" with opener Cassedee Pope joining her on stage.

Maren didn't miss a beat and also played her hits "'80s Mercedes." "I Could Use A Love Song" and of course her debut song "My Church" which brought the crowd to her feet.

The show can be seen in its entirety on Amazon.com's Facebook page.

After "My Church," Morris returned to the crowd for a two-song encore of "Shade" and her pop song "The Middle."

She said on social media late last night after the show, "first show of the tour: ✔️. thank you, Chicago for being the loudest crowd + already knowing all the words to the album a day after it dropped (wtf how). this show has so much of my heart in it and I’m glad it isn’t under wraps anymore." ✨✨✨#GIRLTHEWORLDTOUR
