At her India debut, singer Katy Perry had her audience at DY Patil Stadium wrapped around her little finger.

The Indian artiste Ritviz—look him up if you don't already follow him—opened for Katy Perry who took to the stage in an off-shoulder, green animal-print jumpsuit singing Chained to the Rhythm. By the time she was through Bon Appétit and Teenage Dream, the stadium was on its feet. The backdrop was a screen that featured animation inspired by vintage videogames like Pacman and cybertronic characters and Perry asked: "Hey Mumbai, they tell me this is your winter!" She proceeded to play a pink guitar as she sang Hot and Cold; hell, we were sold.

With her indefatigable energy that rivalled only Chris Martin, Perry interacted with the crowd and kept us engaged. The show looked very slick, very international and not some watered down, compromised version of a global pop star's concert (we're looking at you, Bieber). It was a show that Katy Perry should be proud of. Kudos Katy, come back soon.
