Cyndi Lauper<\/strong> headlined New York’s Madison Square Garden Wednesday night, but had a little work to do before she hit the stage.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The singer shared a <\/span>video on social media<\/strong><\/span><\/a> of her dancing onstage during soundcheck, writing \u201cdoing an interpretive dance before my show to restore love and light to the Garden.\u201d Lauper, who has publicly thrown her support behind\u00a0Kamala Harris<\/strong>, is likely referring to the fact that MSG held a Donald Trump<\/strong> rally over the weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n

The show was a stop on Cyndi\u2019s Girls Just Want To Have Fun farewell tour and included at least one surprise for the audience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fan-shot video posted to YouTube shows Cyndi launching into her classic \u201cTime After Time,\u201d and then, after the first verse, introducing Sam Smith<\/strong>, who joined her for the rest of the song.<\/strong>\u00a0The pair held hands for much of the performance and even shared a slow dance together.<\/span><\/p>\n

As for the rest of the concert, according to <\/span>setlist.fm<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u00a0Cyndi played a set filled with hits, including \u201cShe Bop,\u201d \u201cThe Goonies ‘R’ Good Enough,\u201d \u201cI Drove All Night,\u201d \u201cMoney Changes Everything\u201d and \u201cTrue Colors,\u201d ending the night with \u201cGirls Just Want To Have Fun.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Cyndi’s tour hits Nashville, Tennessee, on Friday. A complete list of dates can be found at <\/span>cyndilauper.com<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
