"The crowd has been incredible at every show of this regional tour.
"With so many years of disruption from COVID-19 and not being able to perform, it really means a lot that everyone is coming to these shows and are super pumped to be there."
Shark said has enjoyed playing at smaller venues as she can connect with the crowd and people from each town she visits.
"My favourite part of the tour has been the people," she said.
"Everyone has been so welcoming and I am having the best time meeting all the locals."
"I can't believe I'm halfway through... I just love going to all these towns and seeing the locals, it's been a really special tour - one I will always remember."
Horsham Town Hall manager Shana Miatke said the event went "really well" with a wide variety of people attending the show.

"We had quite a lot of young underage people who got to experience their first concert which we had a dry area set up for."
Ms Miatke was pleased with the turnout for the event, with the show originally selling out in less than 24 hours before moving the concert to a larger venue.
"People were really happy to see live music back in the heritage hall and hear live bands," she said.
"The sound was amazing with the new acoustic drapes that have been put into the Town Hall."
Proceeding the show, Ms Miatke said Amy Shark's team was really happy with the venue and Town Hall staff and this was just the beginning of many more high-profile shows to come.
"They were really happy with the venue and the staff that we have here, they were also grateful for all of the help and support they received," she said.
