Sexmob and Anderson toured Europe where they performed multiple versions of her songs, but adding a twist to them all. This tour was seen as "an attempt at defying gravity, resisting the pull, [and] reverting the downward fall".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Radosavljević |first=Duška |date=June 26, 2023 |title=Laurie Anderson: "Let X=X."
