The 2024 single Lost in Blue quickly followed before she did an incredible cover of Scottish anthem Will Ye Go Lassie Go, a song made famous by The Corries.
She then teased what to expect from her debut album The Consequence of Love as she performed The Song of Old Glencoe and Heart of Mine, she sounded magnificent.
Reflecting on her career so far, she admitted: 'I used to busk just down the road from here and never once did I think I would on this stage.
'I don't live in Scotland anymore, but I'm making it my mission to come back.'
Dougie Maclean's Caledonia then delighted the crowd before she finished off in style with the Beautiful South hit Rotterdam.
She signed off: 'You're making a wee lassie from Bellshill's dream come true.'

This kid, 4, features in Oasis' reunion tour alongside Scottish town
Oscar Borland features in the official programme for the rock and roll band, who recently returned to the stage for the first time in 16 years. The Gallagher brothers are playing to sold-out arenas across the globe and the four-year-old will feature in the pamphlet at all gigs. READ NEXT: Fontaines D.C. fans are all wearing this ONE thing to TRNSMT READ NEXT: I saw Jake Bugg at TRNSMT - he should have been on the Main Stage The picture was taken in Erskine earlier this year (Image: Supplied) Raymond, Oscar's dad, explained how the opportunity came about. He said: "I have been a huge Oasis fan ever since I can remember. From 1996 onwards I was hooked. "As I have gotten older, and during the time period when the band had broken up, I have been really into collecting Oasis memorabilia. "As a result of this obsession, I got to know Brian Cannon, who designed a lot of things for the band at their peak, such as album covers. "We became good friends after I started going to his shop Mircobot Boutique, down south in Kendal, which sells merchandise from the band and other groups." The programme is currently available for sale at the gigs (Image: Supplied) Despite his age, Raymond says his son realises something exciting is happening. He also opened up on the meaning behind Oscar's picture in the programme. Raymound continued: "Brian knew there would not be any new music on this tour and wanted to design the programme like an album cover, with 20 pages to fill. "The idea he came up with was to base the pictures in the programme around B-side songs that some fans think should have been singles. "I jokingly said about getting Oscar involved and amazingly it ended up happening. "Oasis have a song called Fade Away and the lyrics Brian referred to were 'The dreams we have as children fade away.' "Oscar was photographed on a football pitch in Erskine, throwing the Definitely Maybe Globe in the air and a flight case with Oasis on it beside him, the idea being he was dreaming of being in the band. "Noel Gallagher had the final say and he signed it off." Oscar was "very excited" to appear in the programme (Image: Supplied) Oasis will play three gigs at Murrayfield next month and Raymond, who will be attending two of the concerts with friends, and family, can't wait to see the programme in person. He added: "The family are all so proud of Oscar and he was brilliant throughout the shoot. "I didn't want to see the finished product until it was confirmed Oscar would be in the programme. "I am really happy with how it turned out and can't wait to buy it at the gigs."

Outlander stars rave about this Edinburgh restaurant after surprise visit
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Get the latest Edinburgh Live breaking news on WhatsApp Stars of the hit television series Outlander were spotted at one of Edinburgh's most popular restaurants after popping in for a bite. Outlander, now running into its eighth and final season, has been a sensation from the outset. The historical drama series is set in Scotland and features a cast chock-full of Scottish talent. Staff at The Kitchin, a Michelin-starred restaurant in Leith, were delighted to host members of the Outlander cast, sharing an image to social media of owner Tom Kitchin with the actors. Among the stars was John Hunter Bell, who played "Young Ian" Murray in Outlander as well as Bain in two of the Hobbit films, and Charles Vandervaart, famous for his portrayal of William Ransom in season seven of Outlander Edinburgh celebrity chef Tom Kitchin is captured posing with the actors. The post's caption reads: "It's always special to welcome members of the Outlander family to the restaurants." Charles commented on the post, saying: "Amazing time! Thanks for having us!" John added: "Out of this world!" The eatery is no stranger to famous guests. John and Charles are not even the first of the Outlander cast to visit The Kitchin. In October 2023, the Michelin-star establishment welcomed Duncan Lacroix, who plays Murtagh Frasier in the series. It also hosted series lead Sam Heughan, who plays titular character Jamie Fraser, in 2024. Seemingly a favourite among Outlander stars, Sam returned to The Kitchin earlier this year to mark his 45th birthday on April 30. Tom Kitchin, owner and founder of The Kitchin, also runs The Scran & Scallie in Edinburgh and Bonnie Badger in Gullane. Another eatery, Kora, previously on Bruntsfield Place, closed earlier this year. The Kitchin, located at 78 Commercial Quay in Leith, is open Tuesday through Saturday from 12pm-2.30pm and 6pm-10pm.
