THE CALL & RESPONSE

The best part of a concert is when the artist sings a part of a song & asks the audience to finish it. Here, musings are posted for you to respond.

Permalink THE CALIFORNIA DREAMS TOUR 2011. THE BEST CONCERT I HAVE EVER BEEN TO.
Meeting Katy Perry on August 6th, 2011 was the best memory of 2011. Usually, celebs are known to stuck-up, pretentious people. But meeting Katy was really a one-of-a-kind experience.
I was fortunate enough to receive a Meet & Greet (M&G) pass because I am an active member of the Katy Perry Forum (KPF.) (Yes, I’m one of those obsessed fan girls.) This was my first time meeting any sort of musician and having the ability to truly talk to them afterwards without it being the result of a press interview. She exceeded my expectations, actually pronounced my name right, and took the time to really talk to me and make me feel comfortable. I am usually the calm and professional one all the time, but just being in the same room as someone that you idolize and have a deep respect for was incredibly nerve-racking. She could tell that I was incredibly nervous as I told her that I had never met her before (which I had done after she pointed at me and said that I had looked like I had met her before.) I assume she had said this because I wasn’t trying to hog her attention, but I was patient and was the last one to get my poster signed and my picture taken.
People ask me all the time why I like her so much or why I defend her so much. The truth is, sometimes it’s not just about the music they make, their marketing strategies, their personalities in interviews or choices they make but it’s like moments like this, experiences like this, when the people you have a lot of respect for (because of the way they treat people and how they make sure that your experience is worth it) take time to make sure that every single fan has a great experience and walks away with a reason to justify their love and admiration for them.
Kudos to you, Katy. You’ve set the bar high for future musicians that I’ll meet.
