Opening Act Carter Faith Brings Southern Charm and Fresh Country Sound
Montreal, QC – MTELUS was transformed into a magical forest on a recent night when Noah Cyrus brought her unique country-pop aesthetic to the stage. Joined by rising country star Carter Faith, the evening was a showcase of powerful vocals, heartfelt lyrics, and theatrical stage design that left the Montreal crowd captivated from start to finish.
Opening the night was Carter Faith, a country singer-songwriter hailing from North Carolina. She set the tone with an intimate, slower country ballad, quickly drawing in the audience. As her set progressed, Faith shifted into more upbeat tracks that showcased her versatility and charm. In a delightful attempt to connect with the local crowd, she even tried speaking French between songs — earning smiles and cheers for the effort.
Faith’s appearance in Montreal came just days after the release of her debut album, “Cherry Valley” (October 3, 2025), adding an exciting freshness to her performance. Her sincerity and strong stage presence made her a standout opening act, and it’s clear she’s one to watch in the country music scene.
When Noah Cyrus took the stage, MTELUS transformed. The setup mimicked a mystical forest — complete with moss-covered rocks, trees, and dim lighting — creating an atmosphere that felt both dreamy and deeply intimate. Dressed like a fairy and holding a lantern, Cyrus drifted across the stage, dancing freely and casting a spell on the audience.
Despite a humorous moment early on (when she spotted a creepy doll in the crowd that startled her mid-song), Cyrus remained fully in command of her performance. Her setlist was packed with fan favorites, including the emotional hit “July” — the very track that introduced many fans, including this writer, to her work.
Though born into a famous musical family — daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus and sister of Miley — Noah Cyrus has carved out a lane entirely her own. Her voice is raw and expressive, her style ethereal, and her presence magnetic. This wasn’t just a concert; it was a deeply felt experience.
Noah Cyrus delivered a performance that was as visually stunning as it was emotionally resonant. With Carter Faith opening the show on a high note, the night at MTELUS proved to be a celebration of both rising and established talent in the world of country and pop music. Montreal was lucky to witness it.
