Completing her chic look, she opted for matching open-toed heels and effortlessly styled her dark locks into a sophisticated top knot. The singer’s glamorous ensemble was enhanced by a pair of exquisite drop earrings, adding an extra touch of elegance to the momentous occasion. Furthermore, Perry was also honored with a proclamation, designating June 8 as Katy Perry Day in Clark County.
With a radiant smile adorning her face, pop sensation Katy Perry was overjoyed to receive a symbolic key to the bustling Las Vegas Strip in Nevada on a sunny Wednesday afternoon. In the midst of a delightful photoshoot, Perry proudly raised the grand key above her head, expressing her deep affection for the city and her familial connections to it.
During the ceremony, Perry couldn’t contain her excitement as she shared, “Being here feels incredibly natural to me. Las Vegas holds a special place in my heart, considering my aunt’s captivating showgirl career, my grandmother’s skillful seamstress work, and my father’s upbringing as a chauffeur here. Moreover, my parents chose this vibrant city as the backdrop for their nuptials. Hence, it was only a matter of time before I took center stage here.”
Overwhelmed by the honor bestowed upon her, Perry couldn’t help but exclaim, “Receiving a key to the iconic Strip was beyond my wildest dreams! I never imagined or expected such an incredible gesture.”
Exciting moment: Amidst the celebration of being recognized and having June 8 dedicated as Katy Perry Day at the renowned Resorts World Las Vegas, the talented 37-year-old songstress dazzled in a form-fitting lime green gown, paired elegantly with matching open-toed heels.
Gorgeous: To mark the extraordinary event, she elegantly gathered her luscious locks into a chic high bun and adorned herself with a stunning set of dangling earrings.
Filled with pride, Perry was seen in a photo with Clark County Commissioner Tick Segerblom, Resorts World Las Vegas President Scott Sibella, and the Senior Vice President of Concerts West/AEG Presents John Nelson, as they presented her with a symbolic key. Unfortunately, her fiance Orlando Bloom and their one-year-old daughter Daisy Dove were not present at the ceremony. However, Bloom was spotted enjoying dinner with friends at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica later that evening. In other news, Perry recently expanded her Play Las Vegas residency by adding 16 more concert dates in January and, just last week, she announced additional dates in June.
Appreciative: Standing for snapshots, she joyfully raised the enormous key high above in the air, expressing her affection for the city and her deep ties to her family’s origins in that place.
“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.
Surprising: She exclaimed in astonishment, stating, ‘Never in my wildest dreams did I anticipate receiving a key to the Strip!’
Oh, what a stunning choice! The celebrity decided to go for a radiant bronzed makeup look, beautifully enhancing her innate features.
In addition to her Instagram update, she penned the following message: ‘Yesterday was absolutely amazing as I received an incredible invitation to visit and explore the iconic Vegas strip! The experience has been an absolute delight, with endless opportunities to have a blast in this vibrant city. The warmth and hospitality extended by the community has made me feel incredibly welcomed. I can’t even begin to imagine the exciting possibilities that lie ahead, but who knows, maybe I’ll even take a wild chance and try sneaking into some luxurious hotel rooms!’
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.
Exclusive: Tick Segerblom, Scott Sibella, and John Nelson bestowed upon her the coveted key.
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.
Exclusive to Katy: In her eccentric performance, Katy, a mother of one, makes a remarkable entrance by emerging from a colossal toilet. She engages in a surreal dialogue with a chatty COVID mask, creating an enchanting spectacle that has garnered praise from reviewers who describe it as both touching and fantastical.

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.
Venturing out and about, Orlando Bloom was spotted enjoying a meal with his friends at the popular Giorgio Baldi restaurant in Santa Monica during Perry’s eventful day.
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.
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?!???”
Residency commotion: Adele’s fans are expressing their disappointment on various social platforms due to the unexpected cancellation of her Las Vegas residency, which transpired four months ago. In spite of assuring to reschedule the shows, ticket-holders are still waiting anxiously for any updates regarding the new dates. It’s worth mentioning that the attached picture portrays Adele during the month of February.
