Katy Perry, the international pop sensation, was all smiles during her recent visit to Nevada where she was presented with a ceremonial key to the Las Vegas Strip. The Firework hitmaker looked stunning in a body-hugging lime green dress and matching open-toed heels while receiving the honor. The Clark County also proclaimed June 8 as Katy Perry Day, making the occasion even more special. To complete her chic look, Katy opted for a sleek top knot hairstyle and accessorized with a pair of glamorous drop earrings.
Katy Perry was all smiles as she was presented with a symbolic key to the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. Her love for the city and family connections were evident as she posed for photos, holding the large key above her head. During the ceremony, Perry expressed how being in Las Vegas felt natural to her, given her familial ties to the area. Her aunt was a showgirl, her grandma a seamstress, and her dad grew up there before working as a chauffeur. Perry also shared that her parents got married in Las Vegas. The pop star was surprised and thrilled to receive the key, exclaiming that she never imagined getting one.
Exciting event: Katy Perry had a momentous occasion as she was recognized and granted the title of Katy Perry Day on June 8 at Resorts World Las Vegas. The talented 37-year-old donned a stunning lime green dress that perfectly hugged her figure, paired with matching open-toed heels to complete her look.
Gorgeous: To enhance her look for the special event, she opted for a chic top knot hairstyle that showcased her dark locks. She also accessorized with a stunning pair of dangling earrings that added a touch of glamour to her overall appearance.
Proudly, Perry was pictured alongside Resorts World Las Vegas President Scott Sibella, Tick Segerblom and John Nelson as they presented her with a key. Notably, her fiance Orlando Bloom and their one-year-old daughter Daisy Dove were not present at the ceremony, although he was seen having dinner with friends at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica later that evening. This exciting news follows Perry’s recent addition of 16 more concert dates to her Play Las Vegas residency in January and last week for further performances in June.
Filled with appreciation, she lifted the enormous key above her head during the photo session, expressing her affection for the city and her ancestral connections to it.
“This place just feels like home to me. My family has a long history with this theater – my aunt was a showgirl, my grandma worked as a seamstress, and my dad grew up here and even became a chauffeur. It’s where my parents tied the knot and it’s always been a part of my life. That’s why it’s such an honor to finally take the stage here,” Perry shared with excitement at the ceremony.
Surprising: She exclaimed in wonder, ‘I never imagined or expected that I would receive a key to the Strip!’
Oh my goodness! The celebrity decided to go for a natural-looking makeup with a dewy finish and bronzed tones that highlighted her already beautiful facial features.
In her recent Instagram update, she expressed her excitement about receiving an invitation to visit the strip in Las Vegas. She described the experience as the highlight of her day and expressed how much fun she had being able to play in Vegas. Furthermore, she was grateful for the warm welcome from the community. While uncertain about the opportunities that may arise from this trip, she jokingly added that she might try to sneak into some hotel rooms.
The latest news surrounding Katy Perry is that she has recently added 16 more concert dates to her already popular Play Las Vegas residency. The announcement came after she previously added dates in January and most recently, last week for additional shows in June. According to a tweet from the 13-time Grammy nominee, the added shows are thanks to popular demand. With the additional dates, Katy Perry is expected to earn a significant amount of money on top of the $168 million she was already set to earn from the initial 32 performance run. Her team has also gone above and beyond with the production, including an extravagant Perry Playland set and multiple whimsical costumes that the star wears throughout the show. One costume that stands out is a pink PVC dress with a toadstool-inspired hat, which is just one of the eight different looks Katy Perry dons during the performance. She also wears an eye-catching white mini dress and a pink Cleopatra-style gown that she emerges from a keyhole in.
Tick Segerblom, Scott Sibella, and John Nelson had the honor of presenting her with a key that holds a special meaning.
Looking ahead, Clark County has declared June 8 as Katy Perry Day to honor the beloved pop star. The recent Covid pandemic has undeniably had an impact on all of us, and Katy cleverly referenced it during her performances with oversized props such as a gigantic mask and toilet rolls to symbolize the initial panic-buying of essentials that occurred at the start of the crisis last year. Her sets were absolutely stunning, featuring a keyhole, ducks, a life-sized face mask, and even a neon toilet that she jumped out of. Katy’s presence in Sin City continues to grow stronger, while Adele’s seems to be fading before it even began.
Katy is the one and only star of her eccentric show. She makes a grand entrance by emerging from a massive toilet and has an interesting conversation with a COVID mask that can talk. Critics have praised the show for its mix of emotional depth, whimsy, and psychedelic aspects. A snapshot of the show was taken in December 2021.
The extension of performance dates will result in a significant increase in earnings for the pop star, California Gurls singer. She was already expected to earn a staggering $168 million from her initial 32 performances.
Back in January, the 33-year-old singer made an emotional announcement that her upcoming show was not yet ready. This led to rumors that she cancelled her much-awaited performances because of a disagreement with set designer Esmerelda Devlin over a swimming pool stunt. The singer explained that the postponement was due to Covid, and promised to reschedule the shows. However, it seems that her ‘Weekends with’ residency in Las Vegas may not happen anytime soon, if at all, as her sets were spotted being removed from the venue. Despite her vow to reschedule the dates later this year, four months have passed, and ticket-holders have yet to receive an update from the star’s team.
Venturing outside, Orlando Bloom was spotted enjoying a meal with his friends at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica on the same day as Perry’s event. Meanwhile, Adele came under fire from frustrated fans who voiced their displeasure on social media for being kept in the dark about a delay in her Las Vegas residency, which was slated to start on January 21st and was titled “Weekends with Adele.” Many criticized the postponement, calling it “bogus” and “diva-like,” as it had already been delayed for several months. Adele defended her decision by citing the COVID-19 pandemic as a mitigating factor.
Wow, things are getting chaotic! Perry is set to extend her residency, but Adele fans are starting to worry that their favorite artist may never start her own residency. This comes after she canceled her shows just hours before they were scheduled to begin in January.
Numerous fans were left in a lurch after Adele’s abrupt cancellation, having already spent a substantial amount on concert tickets and travel expenses. Many have turned to Adele’s official Twitter handle, her fan page named Adele Access, and Ticketmaster, seeking clarity and refunds. One disgruntled fan claimed that they had been waiting for four months without any updates on rescheduling, and hence they had decided to request their refund for the Adele Vegas show. The soaring prices of flights only added to their disappointment. Another frustrated fan requested the organizers to reschedule the residency shows as soon as possible so that they could either attend the concert or get a refund for the tickets.
The situation with Adele’s Las Vegas residency has caused quite a stir among fans on social media. It has been four months since the sudden cancellation and despite promises of rescheduling, those who purchased tickets are still awaiting updates on new dates. In February, Adele was pictured amidst the anticipation.
