American singer-songwriter Katy Perry promised to deliver fireworks and she did just that in her jam-packed concert at the SM Mall of Asia concert grounds Sunday evening.
Perry is in town to promote her new fragrance line Purr and as part of her "California Dreams" concert tour. Earlier, Perry tweeted: "I am so excited to PEACOCK in front of 25,000 Filipinos tonight singing every word, lil girls dreams do come true!"
Perry didn't fail her followers as she made her flashy costume changes and sang all her hit songs as the enthusiastic audience danced and sang along with her. The singer sang "Firework" wearing nothing more than a white maillot with colorful bulbs that lighted up.
At one point, Perry asked a hunky male fan to come up on stage and she surprised him with a kiss on the cheeks. Perry teased her, "I want to make your dream come true because obviously you haven’t kissed a pop star, have you?"
Perry was in a playful mood and even pinched the man’s nipple. The lucky guy turned out to be Ivan Dorschner, 21, a TV host, model, and former housemate of the reality show, Pinoy Big Brother. Dorschner took off his shirt for the kiss. Dorschner even got to kiss back Perry on the cheeks.
In her previous concert in Indonesia, Perry also kissed another guy. Though fans are now arguing on Twitter and Facebook whether the act was staged or not, what was very certain last night was that the audience screamed with delight as a very game Perry thrilled the crowd. Photos and videos of the kiss immediately went viral.
Perry's kissing Dorschner was also picked up by Mail Online, the website of The Daily Mail, a newspaper in the United Kingdom. In the article, the writer questioned whether the newly single 27-year-old singer pulled the act just to make her ex-husband, English comedian and actor Russell Brand, jealous. But the website also cited sources saying that Perry was reportedly just so happy to work again and be half a world away from Brand whom the singer unfollowed on Twitter recently.
After the concert, Perry thanked the Filipino audience for the successful show through her Twitter account: "Thanks for an AMAZING FINAL CDT date Manila! Sorry to keep u waiting earlier…had to solve a security issue, but THE SHOW WENT SPLENDIDLY!"
