emphasized the significance of Sunday’s occasion, concluding her set by telling the crowd, “You are all about to witness history.” As Mitski took the stage, wearing black jazz shoes and knee pads, it was evident Dacus was right. Opening with “Goodbye, My Danish Sweetheart,” a crowd favorite from her 2013 sophomore LP,, Mitski soared through octaves while walking in a straight line toward the table and chair, a determined, deadpan stare in her eyes.
She utilized the furniture for 19 songs, dancing in synchronized movements and rarely stopping in between them to speak except for after the third, where she delicately informed the crowd, “Hello, my name is Mitski, and this is my band” before introducing her backing musicians. She sat up straight in the chair during the passionate “Old Friend.
Though she closed the show with “Carry Me Out,” it was really “Two Slow Dancers,” the dazzling final breath of, that felt like a farewell. Mitski performed the slow, stripped-down track backed by only her keyboardist. The song’s intimate final line — “We’re two slow dancers, last ones out” — could have been intended for the audience, who by that point had filled every inch of Central Park’s Rumsey Playfield, silently listening to her every word.

It’s unclear when she’ll return from hiatus, but the past five years have cemented her as an unforgettable voice. “This is all I ever wanted in my life,” she told the crowd. We believe it.
