Ye’s Tampa comeback rises above the crowd—literally, on a giant globe

Kanye West, performing as Ye, headlined a two-hour comeback show in Tampa atop a giant globe at Raymond James Stadium, blasting through about 34 songs and a set that spanned much of his catalog with a chunk dedicated to his latest work. Fans turned out in force despite protests and renewed scrutiny over antisemitism, while the performance largely kept the focus on the music, backed by dazzling visuals, roaring crowds and merch-driven fanfare that underscored a loyal fanbase and a high-energy return.
