Well, at that point, she wasn't. It wasn't shown on the big screen, but she had this moment for a couple of seconds after waving and smiling and audience going nuts, when she had this cross eyed moment where she had this "oh for fucks sake I guess I need to fake smile and you silly people go so nuts about it it's almost funny" kind of a face. It was priceless, I bursted into laughing. I think everyone can relate to that moment, at least people who have worked in customer service,pretty pony~ when you're not really feeling like smiling, but you force that clown smile on while your eyes go almost backwards hahhah.
I was at the same 2 shows as you, and I totally remember this moment, and that it only happened on the first show! It just seemed like one of those shy awkward waving moments to me HAHA

I feel like her being "calculative" is probably attributed to her generally being a seasoned performer, and possibly from her upbringing / training as an idol singer where they are generally stricter with choreography and stage blocking, etc. But that's just what I think.
