It was like, "OK, fireworks for 'Firework', sure, this is great" or "Yes, let's do the Sunset Strip thing for 'This Is How We Do', these massive balloons are fun." The show was really at its best when it was the most literal, which emphasizes how one-dimensional she often feels as an artist.
Lots of cartoony dialogue with these subtle, knowing winks to the parents being like, “Hey, there is actually a smart, self-aware adult human inside this hot-pink furry cat suit.”
This wont change the fact that Katy has the most expensive & attended solo popstar tour this year. The masses just can't stop flocking to see this talented legend.

Just in this dimension though, judging by Pitchfork
Katy simply isn't working on Miley's level when it comes to ADHD entertainment in 2014—everything felt lumbering, like a relic. Nothing gelled. And there was a palpable feeling of the zeitgeist evaporating before our eyes; rather than capturing the hearts and minds of the most powerful force in America—teenage girls—the crowd seemed largely made up of tweens, toddlers, and parents. It was an audience for Ice Capades, not a potential bellwether 29-year-old pop star.
Quote:
The whole reason I became a fan in the first place was because of her self-awareness as a 21st-century pop star: She did all of the goofy **** pop stars do, but she did it with a great sense of humor that let everyone in on the joke. Prism shows that she wants to be taken seriously as an adult—something she alluded to during a snooze-tacular acoustic set punctuated by huge daisies and butterflies—but her current adult guise is akin to a tentative first-year kindergarten teacher wondering if this is what she really wants to do with her life.
