Before taking the stage Friday night, dressed in a fringe jacket and bustier, an iconic Selena-like outfit, Cardi recorded a video alongside a Selena photo.
"Out of all the outfits that she wore, for me to see this picture with this outfit, this was the inspiration for 'Please Me,'" she said.
She later took to Instagram to post more images and said that photo of Selena was a "lucky sign" for her.
Cardi B also set a new attendance record with 75,580 fans, beating Garth Brooks' closing show last year.
