Fan Fave: Perry (Photo/Anthony Norkus)
With nine No. 1 pop singles to her credit and 10 million-plus albums sold across the globe, singer Katy Perry has become such a talked-about mega-star that even her dad, Keith Hudson, enjoys preferred celebrity status.
A cheerful Hudson attended Perry’s Sunday night concert in Grand Rapids, spending part of the time greeting concertgoers, pressing the flesh and having his photo taken with his daughter’s fans near the cordoned-off soundboard at the back of Van Andel Arena.
The real show, of course, unfolded on the stage, where Perry made many a “Teenage Dream” come true by performing her monster hits for a sold-out crowd of 12,000 or so.
At long last, at least for some devoted fans, the 29-year-old gospel singer-turned-pop phenom brought her Prismatic world tour to Van Andel Arena, unfurling an elaborately choreographed, resplendent stage and light show. Check out the Local Spins photo gallery by Anthony Norkus.

Wow, that’s some set all right! Did she also sing songs?
I’m no stuffy conservative by any means, but it just blows me away that soccer moms think this woman is a good role model for their daughters, let alone to being their kids to her shows in the first place. Witchcraft, female domination of men, pyramids, role playing, occult symbols all over the stage and her over produced records and videos….and yet they think she is “inspiring” to their their kids ? She is just another meat puppet pop star playing a role and selling a political/spiritual agenda to the mindless masses. KP is also not the brightest bulb in the box, so what people see in her music is beyond me. Even her “pastor father” has shown his narcissism by hanging onto her fame and adopting his new rock n roll image. Apparently the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
