Katy Perry Climbed the Art Museum Steps in a Pizza Hoodie Last Night, Philly Twitter Roared
(Editor’s Note: Ticket editor Josh Middleton has designated this entry one of the blog’s top posts for 2014.)
Pop star Katy Perry finished up her two-night Philly concert romp last night at Wells Fargo Center, but she didn’t leave town before doing what all our visitors have to do when in Philadelphia: Climb the “Rocky steps.”
Evidently the adventure started with a promise at her show that she made good on. Jaime Margulies tweeted: “Katy Perry made a joke about Rocky and going to the art museum steps after her show and than she literally did. Huh?? What?? Is she real??”
Then, apparently, she sort of name-dropped a few other Philly landmarks:
Katy Perry also sorta namechecks the @MutterMuseum, aka the "death museum."

But it was the Rocky steps that won over. As you can imagine, she didn’t get a chance to climb them without a throng of tourists who tweeted and Instgrammed the hell out of her special Philly encore.
KATY PERRY IS CURRENTLY RUNNING UP THE ART MUSEUM STEPS. THIS IS TRUE. SERIOUSLY
