The Billboard Music Awards Top Female Artist for 2014 was tipped to perform at Dunedin's Forsyth Barr Stadium as part of her Prismatic World Tour, but the multi-platinum pop star will perform just two New Zealand concerts - at Auckland's Vector Arena on December 19 and 20.
''But the New Zealand dates just got delayed and delayed and delayed until now, and that's because they [her tour organisers] kept adding on dates to her Australian tour.
''She's [Perry] on tour now, and she's working flat out. She wants to go home for Christmas.
''It's a shame, but it's understandable.''
''It's nothing to do with transport logistics, because all of those could have been solved. It's actually because the [New Zealand] concerts fall so close to Christmas time.''
''In respect of this particular artist, the obvious challenge is feasibility, given the proximity to Christmas.''
I do not understand. If she wanted to go home for Christmas and considering the NZ dates are the last ones for this year, why couldn't she accept this?
I'm not trying to discredit her at all, but this reason doesn't make sense? If she did that stadium in New Zealand, she'd probably only do one show, instead of two. So wouldn't she be home faster then?
She probably just doesn't like stadiums, like Pink.

The last dates are 4-5 days away from Christmas Eve. I'm sure she want's to go home and spend more than 2 days with her family.
