Concert synopsis

On the North American leg of the tour, the show is divided into five parts and an encore. The show begins with a montage of the tour's video interludes. Lovato rises from a hole in the floor, performing "You Don't Do It for Me Anymore" in a getup of a black dress and a trench coat. An interlude is played, which features the singer portraying both mental health professional and patient. She then appears on stage laying on a psychiatrist couch in a black leather bodysuit and thigh-high pointed boots, performing "Daddy Issues".{{cite web|url=http://footwearnews.com/2018/fashion/celebrity-style/demi-lovato-tell-me-you-love-me-tour-style-519787/|title=The Best Looks From Demi Lovato's 'Tell Me You Love Me' Tour|first=Allie|last=Fasanella|date=March 17, 2018|accessdate=March 18, 2018|work=Footwear News}} Lovato performs "Cool for the Summer", accompanied by the eleven dancers performing same-sex erotic moves. The female dancers do synchronized chair-dancing while Lovato performs "Sexy Dirty Love", followed by "Heart Attack" with the male dancers breakdance. "Give Your Heart a Break" is then sung, backed by a kiss cam.

The next segment of the show is introduced with a video interlude showing the singer training mixed martial arts under UFC fighter Randy Couture. Lovato and her dancers walk through the crowd to the stage in a pink boxer robe, then performs "Confident". She uses "everywhere at once" trick during the "Games" performance; the female dancers dress exactly like Lovato in black robe, then are arrayed across the venue. She vanishes during the performance and immediately appears in a white lingerie on a white, rotating bed on the B-stage. Lovato performs "Concentrate" while sitting down on the bed and playing an electric guitar. Lovato is, then, joined by dancers to perform "Cry Baby" and "Lonely"

The next segment sees Lovato, wearing a royal blue oversized hoodie and blue satin ankle boots, singing "No Promises" and "Échame la Culpa"; the latter features Luis Fonsi in video screen. A video interlude showing Lovato's philanthropist work with CAST Center is shown. She also usually talks about her struggles with addictions and mental health before performing a piano version of "Warrior", "Father" and "Smoke & Mirrors", wearing a white bodysuit.

A final video interlude shows a compilation of hate tweets towards Lovato is shown in video screen.{{cite web|url=http://respect-mag.com/2018/03/recap-the-tell-me-you-love-me-tour-with-demi-lovato-boston-ma/|title=RECAP: The 'Tell Me You Love Me' Tour with Demi Lovato (Boston, MA)|first=Miguel|last=Crespo|work=Respect|date=March 29, 2018|accessdate=March 30, 2018}} The encore begins with the singer, accompanied by guest choir to perform "Sorry Not Sorry".{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/demi-lovato-tell-me-you-love-me-tour-best-moments-8283597/|title=9 Standout Moments of Demi Lovato's Tell Me You Love Me Tour|magazine=Billboard|date=April 3, 2018|accessdate=June 8, 2022|first=Shanté|last=Honeycutt}} The show ends with "Tell Me You Love Me", while confetti rains down and Lovato disappears through the hole on the stage.
