Katy Perry makes Shanghai debut |
Fans who had managed to get a ticket gathered outside the arena well before the show began on Tuesday evening. When all 12,000 seats sold out shortly after they went on sale online, she added a second show Wednesday night for CCTV.
Katy Perry's Super Bowl half-time performance in February garnered over 118 million viewers in the United States, the highest-rated half-time show in the game's history. The singer has been nominated six times for the Grammy Award for best pop solo performance, but never won. Despite that fact, fans here have high expectations for her show.
And then it was time for a night of screaming and their first glimpse of the singer. Katy Perry began the show with her Grammy-nominated song "Roar" from her 2013 album "Prism". The singer, dressed in a silver flared miniskirt and sporting a massive ponytail, emerged from a shiny prism. Then fans got to hear her 2012 tracks "Part of Me" and "Wide Awake".
The show lasted for almost two hours, featuring more than 20 songs.
After Wednesday's show in Shanghai, Perry will continue her Asian tour with stops in Taipei, Macao, Manila, Jakarta, Singapore and Bangkok.
