Our guys were sweet enough to drop us off at the bar for a fun afternoon / night of Katy Perry's Prismatic World Tour. We held it down at Backyard Bistro as long as possible to watch Team USA in the World Cup and then it was onward in our coordinated outfits.
The bar was a quick walk to the arena and while we missed one of Katy's openers, Ferras, for the World Cup, we saw Capital Cities which were pretty great. They sing this song that you've probably heard on the radio. We met people who flew in from L.A., and as far as Russia, for this show since it represented Katy's first stop on her tour (Go, Raleigh!).
Katy Perry was simply amazing. She had at least 10 costume changes, the light show rocked and there was so much fun going on you could hardly stand it.
She sang songs from her new album, Prism, along with lots of her older songs going back to I Kissed a Girl. We were in Katy Perry heaven right along with the teeny boppers.
And then there was confetti, lots and lots of confetti.
Katy is so cute, as party princess as it gets and inspiring. She said this great line: "Put your Instagram away for a bit and just live in the moment. This is not about what happened yesterday or your tomorrows. It's about the fact that we were given this moment. And this moment is all we have right now."
