“It just feels so right being in this place. This has been a part of my family’s history for generations. From my aunt who was a showgirl, to my grandma who worked as a seamstress, and even my dad who grew up here and later became a chauffeur. My parents fell in love and got married right here as well, so it only makes sense that I would find myself on this stage one day,” Perry excitedly revealed during the ceremony.

Unexpected: She marveled: 'I did not know or think that I would be getting a key to the Strip!'

Singer: The news comes after Perry added 16 more concert dates to her popular Play Las Vegas residency in January and, again, last week for additional dates in June

Singer Katy Perry has announced that she will be adding more concert dates to her popular Play Las Vegas residency. This decision comes after Perry added 16 additional dates in January and just recently added more dates in June. The demand for her shows has been overwhelming, as stated in a tweet by the 13-time Grammy nominee. This expansion in her tour schedule will result in substantial earnings for Perry, who was already set to earn $168 million for the initial 32 performances. Not only is she delivering top-notch performances, but Perry has also spared no expense in creating an extravagant Perry Playland set and whimsical costumes. Throughout the show, the star showcases a total of eight different outfit changes, including a captivating white mini dress and a pink PVC dress with a hat inspired by a toadstool. Perry also wows the audience with a transformation into a pink Cleopatra-style gown, making her entrance through a keyhole.

Moving forward, June 8 will be Katy Perry Day in Clark County

In a move to celebrate Katy Perry’s influence and contributions, Clark County has declared June 8 as Katy Perry Day. It comes as no surprise that Katy creatively incorporated the impact of the Covid pandemic in her recent performances. With larger-than-life props such as a massive mask and toilet rolls, she cleverly referenced the panic-buying frenzy that occurred at the beginning of the crisis last year. Katy’s sets were nothing short of awe-inspiring, featuring intriguing elements like a keyhole, ducks, and even a life-size face mask. And let’s not forget the neon toilet she bravely jumped out of. While Katy Perry’s presence in Sin City continues to rise, it seems that Adele’s anticipated arrival might not be as promising.

Mega bucks: The added dates will mean huge earnings for the California Gurls singer who was already set to pocket $168million for the initial 32 performance run

Massive amount of money: With the inclusion of additional dates, the California Gurls singer is bound to make a significant fortune. Prior to the extension, she was already slated to earn a staggering $168 million for her initial 32 performances.

In an emotional announcement back in January, the 33-year-old singer tearfully admitted that her show was not ready to go on as scheduled. Speculation arose that the cancellation was due to a heated argument with renowned set designer Esmerelda Devlin over a swimming pool stunt. While she attributed the sudden cancellation to Covid and assured her fans that the shows would be rescheduled, it appears doubtful that her ‘Weekends with’ residency in Las Vegas will take place anytime soon, if at all. This uncertainty is reinforced by the sight of her sets being removed from the venue. It has now been four months since she canceled her much-anticipated Las Vegas residency just a day before her scheduled performance, and yet her team has failed to provide any updates to ticket-holders regarding the postponed shows. This is despite the singer’s previous promise to reschedule the dates for later this year.

As frustrations continued to build up, devoted fans resorted to social media to express their disappointment towards Adele, perceiving her actions last month as leaving them in the dark. Many even went as far as labeling the prolonged delay of her highly anticipated event as “bogus” and exhibiting traits akin to a diva.

The much-anticipated event, titled Weekends with Adele, was scheduled to kick off at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas on January 21. However, the day before the grand inauguration, Adele announced the unfortunate news of postponing her 12-week residency, attributing the decision to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which posed significant challenges and concerns.

What a mess: Perry's expanded residency comes as Adele fans are growing increasingly concerned that the British songbird may never kick off her own highly anticipated residency after she pulled the plug on the shows hours before it was slated to debut in January

It’s quite chaotic: Perry’s extended stay is causing worry among Adele’s fans, who are becoming more anxious about whether the beloved British singer will ever begin her much-anticipated residency. This concern arises as Adele unexpectedly canceled her shows just before they were scheduled to premiere in January.

Numerous fans were left disappointed and financially burdened as they had already invested significant amounts of money in tickets and travel arrangements to attend Adele’s performance, only to face a last-minute cancellation. Eager to find explanations and potentially secure refunds, these fans have taken to various platforms including Adele’s official Twitter, the Adele Access fan page, and Ticketmaster to express their grievances. Venting their frustration, one fan tweeted on Tuesday, “I’ve come to the decision to request a refund for the Adele Vegas show. It’s been four months and we still don’t have any updates on new dates. Considering the exorbitant flight prices at present, it’s no longer financially viable for me.” Another fan begged, “Could you please reschedule the residency shows so I can get my money back by selling my tickets?!???”
