While Miley Cyrus was proving she’s just as provocative as ever in London, Katy Perry took to the stage in Belfast in far more bubble-gum fashion.
The singer launched her Prismatic World Tour at the Northern Irish capital’s Odyssey Arena, Wednesday night, where she showcased an array of colourful costumes as she performed her greatest hits.
And clearly there was an Egyptian theme as she changed from a Cleopatra-like empress on horseback, to a pink feline in a jumpsuit.
