My daughter is a concert pro already and only in sixth grade.
Her first kid friendly show was the Cheetah Girls with a BFF. I joined her at Hannah Montana/Jonas Brothers/Miley Cyrus, which was followed by Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus again, Jonas Brothers again and finally Justin Bieber. She even saw a bit of Kelly Clarkson at the state fair.
Now she graduates to a truly "big girl" show. I debated whether she should be my partner in crime going to Katy Perry's concert. When I went to P!nk, I didn't even consider bringing her. We both love P!nk, but I just felt like she was too young (9 1/2 at the time) and it wasn't the right time. And I think P!nk really offers very empowering songs for girls of all ages. Can't wait to take her next time.
But this time around, totally knowing that the Katy Perry concert will be adult focused, I said yes and bought tickets. Why? I want her to experience a concert put on by a musician whom she loves in MY presence.
I expect Katy Perry's show to push innuendo and be a bit naughty but sugary sweet based on the California Dreams tour reviews and what I've seen on YouTube. I also expect we'll have a great time dancing and singing TOGETHER.
I'm looking forward to talking about what happens on stage after. I love that my daughter still comes to me, openly asks questions, and I get to share my beliefs. I only have a small window to get my message out to her.
Honestly, my biggest concern is not being embarrassed by a dropped bad word or sexuality. We talk about these things ALL the time. I worry about my daughter's view being blocked since she's so petite. Praying that all the tall people are behind us.
Now, wonder if I should have my daughter wear her pink wig?
Cheers!
