To begin her highly-anticipated Las Vegas residency, Katy Perry took an unconventional approach by incorporating a large orange toilet and a singing poop into her performance. The total cost of the residency is estimated to be around £125 million.
On Wednesday, the pop icon performed at the Resorts World Theatre in Vegas, showcasing her classic hits in psychedelic fashion and extravagant cartoonish outfits. During the performance, she twerked on a stockpile of toilet paper while singing “California Girls” and was joined by a puppet poo with a gold tooth that sings ad-libs alongside her. Twitter users found the scenario too bizarre to ignore, with one calling it “one of the best things [they’ve] seen all year.” Another user noted that the performance epitomizes the past 12 months’ craziness, saying, “2021 has been an absolutely batshit crazy year, so it only makes sense that it closes with Katy Perry dancing to ‘California Gurls’ next to a giant toilet accompanied by a human dressed as a poo.” It was quite an extraordinary way to wrap up 2021.
