The beloved pop princess turned Princess of Power has hit the road again, headlining her first tour since 2022. Following the release of her newest album, PRINCESS OF POWER, Marina took the stage of her biggest show yet, beneath the gilded lights of New York City’s Radio City Music Hall. From “Primadonna” to “CUNTISSIMO,” the artists’ glittering eras of nostalgia and reinvention collide—and V got the exclusive backstage pass.

Marina’s newest era is all about unapologetic self-love. Released earlier this year, her highly anticipated sixth studio album illustrates an inward reflection, embracing vulnerability and, in turn, reclaiming her own power and sensuality. Celebrating the release, the singer began her North American “PRINCESS OF POWER” tour in September with her final bow scheduled in Mexico City this November. Rather than a concert, the tour itself unfolds more like an ascension, a pageant of power.

Even princesses need to get ready! Behind the esteemed Music Hall’s velvet curtains, V went behind the scenes with Marina, getting an exclusive look at her pre-show rituals and post-show celebrations.

“Getting ready for the show!”

“She is my shimmery leotard for the evening.”

“The face must be tea.”

“One of my favorite shows I’ve ever played to date.”

“Taking a moment before going onstage.“

“Onstage with one of my favorite parts of the set, my ribbon mic stand.”

“Diva!”

“The POP pageant. Look at these gorgeous beauties!”

“Some of my best friends came from all over to see the show & celebrate.”

“My new favorite gin, full stop. It’s blue and turns purple when you add tonic.”

At Thursday’s Radio City show, Marina reminded fans that their support extends beyond the music through The Marina Fund, created in partnership with PLUS1, where $1 from every ticket sale is donated to help LGBTQ centers across the U.S. New York’s local beneficiary was the Ali Forney Center, which provides life-saving services for LGBTQ+ youth experiencing homelessness. Alongside the $1 per ticket commitment, 10% of merchandise sales are being directed to benefit both LGBTQ+ centers and humanitarian relief efforts in Palestine.
