Katy Perry performed at Target Center in Minneapolis Tuesday night. This was a stop on the ‘Dark Horse’ singer’s “Lifetimes Tour”. The concert was expected to start at 8:55 PM, with special guest Rebecca Black. However, according to social media reports, the show was delayed by “technical difficulties,” and fans were kept outside the venue for nearly two hours.
These fans described the experience as being “herded like cows“
These fans reported waiting an hour and a half. Fans of the former American Idol judge are seen milling around the arena concourse.
According to a post on X, Target Center pointed to “technical difficulties.” Furthermore, they were working to “fully open doors.”
Fans reported the show eventually got started and Katy “still slayed.”
Perry has been pushing back against online haters recently. The ‘Roar’ singer posted a TikTok earlier Tuesday. To be clear, her TikTok quoted Theodore Roosevelt’s speech “Citizenship in a Republic,” delivered at the Sorbonne in Paris, France, on April 23, 1910.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
Theodore Roosevelt
