Katy Perry’s tour is experiencing technical difficulties in Italy

[TaylorSwift 160,887]

A battle against technology in the truest sense of the word for Katy Perry, who framed her show as a battle against Artificial Intelligence, but tonight, at the only Italian date of her Lifetimes Tour in Bologna, she's dealing with technical issues that prevented her from entering the stage.
 
The American pop star was supposed to enter from the floor in the center of the audience and be dramatically suspended in the air on a tangle of ropes, but after the giant screens lit up at 9:00 PM sharp and started the intro, the mechanism jammed and nothing happened. Everything was therefore at a standstill for over forty-five minutes, with some messages on the giant screens warning fans of a "network error."

Oh no, did the mic turn on whilst she was “singing”. That poor crowd. I hope they get their money back.

"According to attendees at tonight’s show, there was a power issue at the Unipol Arena. A security guard reported that the singer’s team is conducting tests to check if the arena can support the tour’s setup."

Nah, tea got cold at "9pm sharp". Nicki can't manage to be any earlier than 3 hours late.

Like, this is so much better than all the AI slop she's been using as backdrops!

Did they fix it? Did she cancel the show or start late?

Sources inside the arena say the microphones were working and attendees were unfortunately able to hear Katy sing, despite several attempts to turn them off.
