#ThrowbackThursday

So a little over a year ago I witnessed Katy Perry live for my fourth time. But, this specific concert was different. My parents got me tickets to see her as close as anyone could be, I was in the reflection section! Now, for the Prismatic World Tour the stage was shaped as a triangle, and I was actually IN the triangle. This is what the stage looked like:

 

And I was in the section labeled "GA PIT". Now, from watching so many videos of her previous concerts I knew exactly where to stand in the triangle to maximize my interactions with her. I stood at the very tip of the triangle and was joined by many other excited KatyCats waiting to experience the best time of our lives. It was August 2, and she had just played at the TD Garden the night before, so this would be her last day in Boston until she left for Philadelphia.

 

The concert started and all you could hear were fans screaming in anticipation for Katy Perry to come out on stage, and she finally did to her hit single, "Roar". The amount of excitement and joy that was present overfilled the entire arena. Throughout the concert all the fans became one. It didn't matter why you were there, where you came from, how much money you have, everything became unimportant, and we all sang Katy Perry songs together and had an amazing time.

 

Here is a photograph showing exactly how close she was to me at one point during the show:

 

 

 

There were times when she would come super close to the fans standing in the Reflection Section and at those times she was legitimately 5 feet away from me. When she sings her song, "Unconditionally", she is known to take fans letters who are in the pit, and that is exactly what she did. She took my letter that night and I could not be happier about how that night turned out! I am so lucky that one fan caught the special moment on video! Here it is:

 

 

 

You can hear my scream all the way across the arena, so I think you can tell how excited I was for that moment to happen. I am so grateful that I got to see my idol in concert so many times and up close and personal. August 2nd, AKA the greatest night of my life!  

 

 

Quote of the day: "I feel like my secret magic trick that separates me from a lot of my peers is the bravery to be vulnerable and truthful and honest." - Katy Perry
