Saturday night in Dallas felt like a homecoming celebration, and Alyssa Edwards was the queen returning to her castle. Her Crowned tour stop at House of Blues wasn’t just a show—it was a love letter to her roots, her fans, and the art of drag itself.

From the second she hit the stage, the energy was undeniable. The crowd roared as Alyssa made her grand entrance, decked out in rhinestones and confidence, serving looks and legacy in equal measure. There were high-octane dance numbers, classic Alyssa tongue pops, and more than a few wig-snatching costume changes. But what really hit? The stories.

She walked us through her journey—from Mesquite, Texas, to Drag Race and beyond—with a mix of sass, heart, and hilariously unfiltered commentary. It wasn’t just polished performance; it was personality. Vulnerable, funny, and full of Texas-sized charisma.

At times it felt like we were hanging out in her living room, not a packed concert hall. She talked to the audience like old friends, calling out familiar faces, cracking jokes, and dropping little nuggets of wisdom about staying true to yourself—even when the world tells you to tone it down.

By the end of the night, she had us laughing, crying, and fully believing in the magic of being unapologetically yourself. Alyssa didn’t just come home—she reminded us why she’s royalty.
