Katy Perry’s Tour Rider is INSANE.
You know how sometimes you hate a celebrity, and then you see their E True Hollywood Story and you’re like, okay you’re not that bad I guess? That was my situation with Katy Perry. She actually is a pretty talented girl, and the fact that she chooses utterly worthless, terrible songs, and matches them with equally horrific videos is just proof that she knows the business. 15-year-old girls don’t want acoustic songs about the political uprising in Libya, they want upbeat crap-pop about jean shorts. Can’t fault her for serving the masses.
However, now that the Smoking Gun has released an obtained copy of Miss Perry’s 45-page tour rider, I think we can all go back to hating her again. From her demands regarding the style and era of the furniture in her dressing room to an underlined demand that absolutely NO CARNATION FLOWERS be in the room, the rider gives you a glimpse into the arrogance of a, well… a girl who says her chauffeurs aren’t allowed to even look at her. Furthermore, she demands that a certain amount of the tickets be held aside for Katy Perry to sell to “resellers,” basically so she can sell them at an inflated price and pocket the proceeds.

The worst part of the rider, though, isn’t even the demands… you’d think if someone were to go to the trouble to ensure a specific type of flower is nowhere near their client, they might take the time ho hit “spell check” before sending the document off. Not so for Katy Perry’s camp, who, for example, demand that the chauffeur not “STARE AT THE BACKSEAT THRU THE REARVIEUW MIRROW.”
Go home, Katy Perry.
