Katy Perry concert chronology |
The Hello Katy Tour was the debut solo concert tour by American singer Katy Perry, in support of her second studio album, One of the Boys (2008). It ran from January 23, 2009, to November 28, 2009, and visited North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
Perry first announced the tour in November 2008, following the 2008 MTV Europe Music Awards, which she hosted. [2] The tour's title was inspired by, and is a play on, the Japanese Sanrio character Hello Kitty. In an interview with Billboard , Perry stated, "I have the guy who creates stages for Madonna working on this tour; I'm indulging my obsession with fruit and cats and designing all different outfits."[ citation needed ]
The stage design featured a white picket fence, mailbox, oversized pink flamingos, inflatable plastic fruit, and a giant cat named Kitty Purry that glowed during the encore. Perry had two costumes during the show. During the encore, she would appear dressed as a cat. [3]
Each show opened with "California Girls" by The Beach Boys being played as Perry appeared on the stage. "Fingerprints", "One of the Boys", "Hot ‘n Cold", "Self Inflicted" and a cover of The Outfield’s "Your Love" followed. After this section, Perry would pick up her guitar and perform an acoustic version of "Mannequin" and "Thinking of You". The next songs were "Ur So Gay" and "Waking Up in Vegas", upon which confetti rained-down onto the audience. Perry continued her act with "Lost", "I'm Still Breathing", "I Think I'm Ready" and "If You Can Afford Me". At this point of the concert, Perry would exit the stage for a costume change and re-appear, dressed as a cat. A stage-prop of a massive cat’s head would glow as Perry covered Queen's song "Don't Stop Me Now". Perry would conclude the show with "I Kissed a Girl", and exit the stage after thanking the audience.
The Orange County Register called the tour "a surprisingly strong performance" in a positive review. [4] In a negative review, Variety called the tour "chilly" and "calculated". [5] Seventeen , impressed with the tour, posted a list of ten things they liked about it. [6]
