happy [and was] always smiling.”
North who performed one song on Friday, was supported by her famous family, including both of her parents. Kardashian, 43, shared

According to the insider, Kanye wore black sunglasses and a white hood covering over his face.
“Kanye filmed the whole time and gave North a standing ovation,” the source adds, noting the performance proved the preteen’s
singing talent. “She was absolutely adorable and you can tell she will be a good singer. She has a good voice. She danced and moved
across the stage and had good rhythm.”
At the end of the Friday concert, North reunited with the rest of the cast — including Jennifer Hudson and Billy Eichner — for the
curtain call. Kourtney Kardashian, Travis Barker and Kris Jenner were in the audience to cheer on their family member.
“North waved and clapped along with the others,” the source says. “She was so cute, waving and smiling to those in the crowd as she
exited the stage. She looked like she didn’t want the night to end!”
