Katy Perry at Borgata
Who Is She: Katy Perry started out as a gospel singer, recording her first gospel album in 2001. However, she shed her gospel roots and broke into the pop music scene in 2008 with her controversial hit "I Kissed a Girl." Her second album, "One of the Boys," was released a month later and has sold more than 2.5 million copies.
What To Expect: Fans of Perry should expect to hear all of her hits such as "I Kissed a Girl," "Ur So Gay" and her newest hit, "Waking Up in Vegas."
Event Info: The show begins at 8 p.m. in the Event Center at Borgata. Tickets are $39.50 and are available at the Borgata box office or online from Ticketmaster at www.ticketmaster.com For more information, visit: www.theborgata.com
