Bitter sweet: Katy Perry begins her candy themed world tour

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Fireworks: Katy Perry kicked off her California Dreams tour tonight in Lisbon Portugal with a stage comprised of all things sweet including candy canes and lollipops


Katy Perry kicked off her California Dreams Tour last night in Portugal giving a rousing performance of all her greatest hits.

She hid any signs of sadness of missing her husband Russell Brand who she will be away from her for long periods of time while she is travelling around the globe.


The singer looked sugary-sweet in a pink tutu dress with a candy striped bodice and red heart neckline.


Time apart: Although excited about the world tour Katy will be missing her husband of four months Russell Brand who is back in the U.S.


The I Kissed a Girl hit-maker paraded on stage with her dancers at the Campo Pequeno arena in Lisbon at the start of her nine-month world tour.

Katy's entire stage was inspired by all things sweet with a candy cane staircase and big bright lollipops as her backdrop.

She even tweeted that she is getting into the theme by eating fresh cotton candy as her pre-show ritual snack.

But the down side of Katy's lengthy tour is that she will be spending a lot of time away from her husband of four months Russell Brand.

The 26-year-old will be performing across Europe, North America, Australia and Japan but has said she has booked the equivalent of a day off for every two days she is on stage to use to see her husband throughout the year.

At her Grammy performance last Sunday Katy put paid to rumours her relationship was on the rocks with a touching performance singing Not Like The Movies.

She revealed what appeared to be never-seen-before intimate footage from their wedding day as she was lowered on to that stage on a swing.

A video of her in a white dress was projected on to the white netting behind her.

Then images of her and Brand taking their wedding vows appeared as her backdrop.
The couple never sold or released any photographs from their October nuptials in India.

It comes amid reports last week that the pair were receiving marriage counselling just months after getting hitched.

These rumours were strenuously denied by Perry.

But on the red carpet Katy and Russell put the rumours to rest, as they engaged in a lingering kiss in front of photographers on the red carpet.

Katy has also been revealed as the new face of Austrian jewellery designer Thomas Sabo.

She is now obliged to wear his jewellery exclusively and in return he is sponsoring her concerts.

The fourth single from Katy's Teenage Dream album will be E.T. which features Kanye West.
