Watching Music on My Travels: Katy Perry

I love to listen to music on my travels and though it is normally on buses and with the iPod, I can’t deny how much I love live concerts. My boyfriend and I have been to a few music events down the years of travelling. On of our music highlights was that we got to see Katy Perry live in Hong Kong, check out her video here: 

 We found out about the concert through a friend living in Hong Kong and were able to get our Katy Perry concert tickets online before the event through an online ticket site. The tickets were posted out to us. Then we planned a night out with friends. My boyfriend is not from Hong Kong but my friends were so we went along together. I was surprised to see lots of other foreigners there so my boyfriend could talk to others at the gig.

We got some beers at the bar inside the venue. For those who don’t know about Katy Perry, here are some of her big hits and information… Katy Perry is from the USA and she rose to fame back in 2008 with the release of her huge single “I Kissed a Girl”.

I remember hearing the song for the first time in Lam Tin it was a crazy song “I kissed a girl and liked it, her taste of cherry chocolate”. This had very attention-grabbing and somewhat controversial lyrics. The next song I heard was “Hot n Cold” from her second album, which was an awesome record and was called One of the Boys.

Her third album, Teenage Dream was out in 2010 and was more dancy, and contained the U.S. Billboard Top 100 chart-topping singles “California Girls”, “Teenage Dream”, “Firework”, “E.T.”, and “Last Friday Night” as well as the number-three single “The One That Got Away”. That album became the first by a female artist to produce five number-one Billboard Hot 100 songs, and the second overall after Michael Jackson’s album Bad. That’s some achievement for Katy Perry!

The Hong Kong concert was amazing, Katy played all her bit hits and wore some great outfits. Her next big concert is on the 1st of May, so I’m really looking forward to this one. Anyone else keen to join me there? You can get your Katy Perry tickets here and keep up to date with my own travels on Facebook here!

So I hope to see Katy Perry live again on my travels, she rocks!
