T-Pain turned the temperature up even higher on a hot summer day to no complaints on the second-to-last day of the Iowa State Fair. <\/p>\n

Making a stop at the Grandstand on his TP20 Tour, T-Pain unleashed a high-octane, hour-long journey through more than two decades of trailblazing R&B that helped define a generation. <\/p>\n

The 13-time nominated and two-time Grammy Award winner <\/a>turned the venue into a sing-along celebration of his lasting legacy. <\/p>\n

Opening up the evening, charlieonnafriday (Charlie Finch), a rapper and singer-songwriter from Seattle, channeled the rambunctious spirit of T-Pain, priming the crowd for what was in store. <\/p>\n

On stage, backed by only his DJ named Jordan, charlieonnafriday delivered a 45-minute set filled with melodic pop music in a low-key performance with tracks like “I’m Not Crazy,” “’81 Camino,” “When It Rains,” and “Wild Child.” <\/p>\n

Walking around the stage with confidence and dancing isolated to his upper body, the young star, who released his first studio album in 2022, was unafraid to interact with the audience.<\/p>\n

“I want to say one of my first ever shows was in Ames, Iowa,” he said. “There wasn’t many people there, but those 50 people in that room, we were, we were rocking out, having a good time. So it feels good to be back in Iowa.”<\/p>\n

With paper fans waving in the audience, the people who showed up early for the opener seemed to save their energy for the peaks of his songs, like during his best-known hits, like “After Hours,” from his self-titled album, “ONNAFRIDAY.” He never missed a beat and got people to dance, even if they were still sitting down. <\/p>\n
