He wears armor as if from Wonder Woman Whatever the case, this is how Katy Perry took the stage at the Movistar Arena in Madrid on Tuesday. The American singer performed the last concert of her artistic career in the capital. Tour of a lifetime In Europe. A show that’s hard to pin down, due to the amount of stunts, acrobatics, 80s aesthetics, pyrotechnics, video game simulations, racing, and even pizza.
Display divided into five acts/screens industrial the first. In it, her dancers went out with Game Boys in their hands, leaving the singer to play the role of heroine and heroine to the rhythm of Chained to the beat, teary eyes And the most successful, Dark horse. It is also flanked by the orchestra, on either side of the stage, which runs along the floor of the venue with an octagon-shaped aisle. “Don’t be afraid of the fears that are trying to kill you,” he shouts in one of the breaks between songs, inviting the audience to give “their body and soul” to the surreal concert that has just begun.
After closing “Roboty” with Echoes finisherPerry transforms in the second chapter, Women’s worldto a “navy” look of light green and white removable sneakers California girls The euphoria that has not yet awakened among the masses. It is unfortunate that the artist has once again chosen to meticulously shorten her most legendary songs, including… Teenage dreamin an increasingly common – and at the same time unforgivable – act.
It can’t be said that the singer isn’t having a good time on stage and that she conveys a very good vibe, but between races, there are times when her control becomes loose. The climax of the episode comes when Perry climbs onto a metal structure that dominates the middle of the field, before remembering all the time that has passed since she began her artistic career, and that she is now 41 years old and looks “wonderful”! And with this energy you go to Hot and coldwhich ends up mixing with last friday night, Another of his most famous songs.
Following the recent album Decaf, this collection is undoubtedly celebrated for forming the soundtrack to which the American achieved the world record. The musical repertoire, according to the audience’s devotion despite the songs being cut, continues to vibrate in the same way. The singer mentions that this is her first visit to Madrid, and she gives her the honor of the most beautiful city in Europe, but for the beauty of its men and women. He also wants to know where the gay clubs are where you can go out on a Tuesday, so he’ll know where to go once the show’s over, and he’ll come back to liven up the party with a short cul-de-sac peacock.
The climax of the verb is placed I kissed a girl. “I kissed a girl and I loved her,” she sings while inside the metal ball that previously occupied the center of the stage, rising about four meters high, surrounded by Perry and her dancers, and flying above the ground. “We don’t need to go anywhere else, the party is here today,” she claims as she gets up, strapped in, and begins performing acrobatics as if she were a cross between a gymnast and a dancer. Pole danceadding more pronounced electronic doses to his song compared to the original.
Serenity in the form of a garden
After the first 45 minutes of the concert, the feeling of being in an arcade game is far away, or maybe not, and this is just another screen, now transformed into Nirvana In the form of a garden in which Katy Perry dances again to unleash her skills as an acrobat in front of the audience. Its walkway is covered with two rotating mushrooms, which it also climbs to continue singing. Damn, I’m his, he’s mine And the climax of the chapter wide awakewas converted back into a more disco version. Meanwhile, the visuals in the background continue to show Perry moving around her used stage, keeping a kind of avatar of herself at the center, observing and observing what is happening.
The video game returns, and now allows the audience to choose their own adventure, their own journey, in the third act. In it, Perry emerges from the middle of the track with A He looks summer. The singer plays so that fans can choose which songs she will play, in a section she definitely warns is for the “more realistic” followers, giving power to the “computer” that accompanies the band. This suggests Thanks to GodBut it is Unconditionally The one who gets the biggest cheers with The person who left. The singer takes the opportunity to confirm that, 83 concerts on tour later, this is the one where she says goodbye to Europe: “They said I wouldn’t be able to come, but here I am.”
Then the artist thanks God, and joins the modern trend of spirituality, which was ultimately led by Rosalía’s latest album, LuxWhich has previously been promoted by other artists, such as Lady Gaga – who also mentioned it in her concerts in Barcelona two weeks ago -, and which has been supported in Spain through other examples such as Siloy, Iñigo Quintero, and Rigoberta Bandini herself. Perry gets serious about saying thank you, as the first song of the show lights up the stands with cell phone lights, allowing her to show off her voice more and more harmoniously without a lot of running, jumping and flying through the air.
From the intimate moment, we move on to the most surreal moment of the night, as Perry brings a sextet of fans on stage, each one a little more bizarre. Someone says that his grandfather has just died, another invites an acquaintance to live. Meanwhile, Perry delivers pizza and they share The person who left. The truth is that it is difficult to understand why one of the singer’s most emblematic and emotional songs is signed by a play that ends in ridicule. For pints, for narrative, for randomness. “And pretty, and pretty, and pretty, and pretty, and pretty! And a queen, and a queen, and a queen, and a queen, and a queen!” Fans then roar, and end up translating what both words mean. She was clearly satisfied with the understanding that he had been summoned “Beautiful” and “queen”.
The party continues to progress and with it the madness. The ballet team reappears dressed head-to-toe in black, listening to the game’s apparent villain shouting at them from the images in a voice practically from beyond the grave. Perry appears again to fight them with a laser sword and a suit studded with rhinestones and lights with which he fights off the creatures trying to take over his parallels. In her vindictive speech, the singer insists that she “knows who she is” and that she hopes her huge fans feel the same way over a powerful beat. Part of me.
Butterfly
Just when it seemed like Perry couldn’t get over herself again, the singer enters the final stage aboard a giant butterfly that flies her back over the Movistar Arena. The American invites you to enjoy the last opportunity to dance with her during her show. The party is on, it’s eleven at night, but it could be three in the morning on any Friday – even later, or earlier, depending on how you look at it, it’s worth it. after On the weekend.
So there is still time for that Daisiesl lifelongfor the capital letter fireworks. The best finale of a concert, frankly, it is impossible to leave indifferent. An exhibition that is difficult to define, a fun circus, a real party.
