Not a single comment has gotten a reply from Perry, but then who’d expect it? She’s a person who, unrepentantly, will continue doing her thing, show or no show, and whether or not she has critics is irrelevant, as her past behaviors attest. With tour dates as far along as they are, chatter surrounding Perry performances will surely be as loud and profound as she is on stage.
