Hot Shots: Ciara Rocks Essence Festival With Headlining Set

Published: Monday 4th Jul 2016 by Sam

Ciara brought her booming brand of stage-blazing to New Orleans last night as headliner at the final show of the 2016 Essence Festival.

The sassy siren’s set followed previous gigs from Maxwell and Mariah Carey at the three-day event.

During the 30-year-old’s show, which was watched by fiance Russell Wilson and close friend Kelly Rowland, she delighted with hits such as ‘Body Party,’ ‘Promise,’ and ‘Goodies.’

The coveted slot comes at an interesting time for the singer. She recently parted ways with Epic Records and has told fans she’s working on her best album yet.

Pending its arrival, peep more pics after the jump…
