Rich and I have been keeping a secret since Christmas - nothing to do with the man in the big red suit! I bought 2 tickets to see Katy Perry! At the time of booking Daisy was just starting to become interested in her songs and videos. Over the last 6 months it had turned into an obsession!
I know for a 6 year old some of Katy's songs and videos may be a bit risque but she does not know the meaning of what she is singing so we are happy for her to listen to them. She is more than keen to put on a show for us and she also writes her own songs with Katy's lyrics in them.
We managed to keep the tickets a secret - only slipping up on a few occasions but thankfully she wasn't paying much attention. Our friends also did a good job of keeping the secret too. In the weeks leading up to the concert there were competitions on the radio to win tickets which she heard and she was begging me to ring and try and win some! The excitement and look on her face just at the thought of going was enough to send us both in to a major surge of guilt. We discussed taking her but the tickets that we had were standing tickets for the main floor area. I even rang the ticket office to ask if there were any other tickets available that we could swap ours for but there was only restricted viewing left :0(
We decided to tell Daisy that one of Rich's colleagues was going to the concert and that we would give her some money to buy some souvenirs - which she was very very ecstatic about!
After waiting in line for about half an hour the doors were finally opened. We got a space in the middle about 10 rows back. We got to watch an artist called Zowie, a girl whose songs I have heard before but never seen and then there was a DJ getting the crowd ready.
The stage was amazing - a replica of the California Girls video and the arena smelt of candy floss!
Katy put on a great show. She has a great voice for sining live and the choreography was pretty amazing too!
After about an hour of being pushed and shoved in the huge crowd and seeing people fainting with the heat we decided to venture to the back to get some air. I had to run for a medic half way there as a guy had passed out right in front of us!
We then got to enjoy the last bit of the show from the back of the room with lots of fresh air and there was room for dancing! She saved her best songs till last and the final song (California)was amazing.
We are definitely a family of Katy Perry fans - even more so now that we have seen what a great show she puts on :)
Here is the vedieo of Daisy receiving her souvenirs. The reaction is completely genuine and she actually had tears in her eyes! Can you imagine how she would have reacted if she was really there???
Apologies for the darkness, not quite sure what happened!
