Katy Perry brings the spectacle of ‘The Lifetimes’ tour to NC
It’s hard to imagine a Katy Perry concert without elaborate costumes, wigs and sets. Perry brought all of that and more to Raleigh, N.C.’s Lenovo Center Sunday night on her first tour in seven years.
She flew through the air, suspended and spinning, battled aliens, and even took a ride on a giant mechanical butterfly. The crowd, many wearing their own fantastical costumes and wigs, with no shortage of glitter, were transported into Perry’s own elaborate fantasies.
No, there wasn’t a cupcake bra.
Rebecca Black opened the show.
Here are photos from the show:
