We were beyond ready for the show to start!

First up, “Roar!” which exceeded Cutie Kate’s expectations.  I loved the way she looked at me every few seconds like, “Can you believe this is real life!?!”  We were in heaven!

The Egyptian set, which included “Dark Horse,” cool costumes, and lots of acrobats!

Kitty Purry as Katy Perry.  There were tons and tons of cat-themed things all throughout the concert.  Anna Kate loved that!

Milk bucket challenge… so silly and fun!

My favorite, the acoustic set, with songs including, “By the Grace of God” “The One that Got Away” and “Unconditionally.”

Lol!  I saw a picture of the floating blow-ups from one of her concerts last spring and knew this concert would just be too much fun!  Anna Kate and I love silly humor, so we were both cracking up!

Then, she had a little girl come on stage for a bit, and she gave her a pizza to share with the audience around her.  Anna Kate was so into everything!  Of course, Katy made a big deal about wearing a cowgirl hat and being in Texas, which made us proud, lol!

“Birthday” and the only big balloons the song is talking about, right!?! Winking smile

Fun hyper neon finale!

Time for prisms everywhere!  The encore song was Anna Kate’s first favorite song ever, “Firework” which came out when she was one year old.  I remember her dancing her little heart out to it on July 4th when she was two years old.  That’s when I knew someday we would come to a concert together.

There were real fireworks and long solid strobe lights and blinking lights climbing up and down strings like spider webs all over the arena.  With the 3D glasses on, it was just too cool! I don’t know how you could top this!

Such an awesome first concert date for our Cutie Kate!
