Opening act Rebecca Black added an unexpected layer of excitement, bringing her own story of transformation to the stage.
Rebecca Black: From Viral Fame to Pop Powerhouse
Best known for her viral 2011 hit “Friday,” Rebecca Black has come a long way since her teen internet fame. Now a full-fledged DJ and pop star, her opening set at Centre Bell showcased just how far she’s grown in both sound and stage presence. With two dancers accompanying her dynamic performance, Black lit up the stage with energy, passion, and confidence. Fans were thrilled when she performed “Friday,” bringing the nostalgia full circle. Interestingly, Rebecca was featured in Katy Perry’s iconic “Firework” music video as a teenager—making this tour collaboration a symbolic reunion of sorts.
Katy Perry Explodes with Every Era
Act I – The Future Is Now
Katy Perry opened the show in unforgettable fashion, descending from a futuristic structure that made her appear as if she were flying. The visual effects and sci-fi inspired set marked the beginning of an epic four-act journey, each themed around a different “era” of her music career. The crowd roared as she launched into high-energy hits, setting the tone for what was to come.
Act II – Fan Favorites and Playful Teases
The second act took fans straight to the California sunshine, with colorful visuals and performances of chart-topping hits like California Gurls and I Kissed a Girl. She even teased Peacock, playfully joking that it’s the only song her daughter sings with her—though she didn’t perform it in full. This section was pure joy, reminding everyone why Katy became a global pop phenomenon.
Act III – The Queen at 40
At one point, Katy acknowledged her age—recently turning 40—but her athleticism, stage presence, and stamina told a different story. Her vocal delivery was sharp, her choreography on point, and her connection with the audience electric. She danced and belted with the energy of someone half her age, proving that passion doesn’t age.
Act IV – A Grand Finale to Remember
The final act brought it all home with emotional depth and powerhouse vocals. Each set change throughout the show was a spectacle, but the finale pushed the limits of stage production, blending LED screens, pyrotechnics, costume changes, and heartfelt moments into a perfect conclusion. Even for non-fans, the performance was enough to turn skeptics into believers.
Not A Show For Just Pop Fans
Whether you’re a lifelong KatyCat or just someone who appreciates a world-class show, Katy Perry’s tour stop in Montréal was an unforgettable spectacle. With supporting acts like Rebecca Black and a career-spanning setlist, it was more than a concert—it was a celebration of pop evolution, creativity, and pure star power.
