Katy Perry!

Saturday night after Bid Day festivities, Jordin, Taylor and I drove from the house to St. Louis for Katy Perry's "California Dreams" concert at the Scottrade Center! The last time I had been there was for the Mizzou-Illinois game in St. Louis, which unfortunately isn't happening this year :(. So it was great to be back! We picked up Kyrie, a member of our sorority who transferred to a school in St. Louis, at the Galeria (a big mall there) and drove downtown! It's funny how I'm not from or have never stayed in St. Louis, but am slowly getting adjusted to all of its highways and main roads as I chauffeur people around. The 64 highway still hates me and was closed into downtown, so I even planned an alternative route. Yay for maneuvering the road without a GPS! We stopped for a quick dinner and got to the concert right after the opening act, who apparently wasn't even that good anyway!

Katy Perry was everything we expected and more. She started with Teenage Dream and each song had videos on the three boards with different views. It was a great concert because it followed a storyline, but also had some great humor that at least half of the audience (a lot of kids were there) probably didn't even understand. It was all very witty!

Look how detailed all the outfits and stage decorations are! During Hot N Cold, she even changed outfits probably ten times because of the line "You change your mind like a girl changes clothes."

For the song "Pearl," she was godly and had two dramatic dancers flying behind her and rose to the sky!

Not only did she come out on a pink cloud, but she even played her sparkly guitar

from it in the air! Talent right there!

As anticipated, there WERE real fireworks during Firework. It was great.

California Gurls ended the concert with gingerbread men, hosing the audience,

beach balls in the audience and confetti everywhere!

What a great performance. Thanks Katy Perry for fulfilling our Teenage Dream!
