Canadian singer Alessia Cara performed a surprise acoustic session in Toronto on Nov. 1 for her recent single (Isn't it) Obvious.
Cara has been holding these secret sessions across North America, marking her first Toronto performance in two years since her show at Massey Hall.
The event was held at AM Coffee Studio on Dundas St. W., with admission on a first-come, first-served basis until capacity.
The coffee shop provided complimentary lattes to fans.
Taran Sharma waited in line for an hour to see Cara.
"I heard about the event after receiving an email from UMusic and I knew I had to come to see her since I have never been to such a small show before," Sharma said.
He last saw Cara perform in 2017.
"Knowing the stereotype surrounding Toronto and lines, I didn't think I would be able to see her performance because I had work earlier today but thankfully I made it," Sharma said.
After performing, Cara met with fans for photos and conversation.
First-time attendee Priya Patel said the intimate show exceeded expectations.
"This was definitely one of the best experiences I've had, not only did I get to see her sing live but getting the chance to speak to her was such a surreal experience," Patel said.
Cara's fourth studio album Love & Hyperbole will be released Feb. 14.
