Today the Smoking Gun has released a document they got from a promoter who has Katy Perry's demands for her tour. It's a little out of control and sounds annoying.
Granted, most celebrities don't make these requests, it's their teams being annoying and being demanding for them, but still. This is a bit ridic.
Click here for the link and if you can't go through the 6(!) pages, here are some highlights:
- Dressing room large enough for 6-10 people containing the following:
- Draped and piped in cream or pink
- 2 egg shaped chairs, one with footstool
- 2 french ornate style lamps
- 1 perspex modern style coffee table
- flowers which must contain peonies, hydrangeas and roses and NO CARNATIONS
- Organic fruits (must contain apples, bananas & grapes)
- Organic crudités with ranch dip (must include cucumbers, snap peas, etc)
- Very specific brands of various chips, pita chips, dips, etc
- 2 bottles of Santa Margarits pinot grigio
- Vitamin water
- Fuze Slenderize drinks
The list goes on and on. The worst part is the list for the driver who cannot make eye contact, cannot touch the doors, cannot stair (sic) through the mirror at her, must leave their window half down during pick ups and drop offs, etc, etc, etc.
It's just so annoying and demanding, no?

See the part of the rider where it says, "please read each item carefully" and then goes on to ask that notes be made for any change requests. They say that and then follow up by adding a lot of the stupid stuff scattered throughout the rider, because the riders are huge with tons of staging and lighting info. They are rarely read through and followed to the T by the venues. One good indicator that the rider hasn't been read is if the band finds carnations in the flower arrangements, for instance. Not reading the entire rider could cause a delay of the show or even an accident on stage.
