Katy Perry’s tour rider revealed


Katy Perry has a staff member to wash and chop her vegetables.
The ‘Roar’ singer’s ‘Prismatic’ tour rider is allegedly her most diva-esque to date and includes a minion whose sole responsibility is preparing fresh fruit and veg exactly to her liking.
An insider told the Daily Star newspaper: "It’s crazy. Katy always seems so down-to-earth when you see her on TV so we didn’t expect her to have so many diva demands. We’ve also been told that staff mustn’t speak to her, especially to ask for a photo or an autograph, because it angers her before the show."
Aside from her daily supply of grapes, apples, pineapple, dried figs, broccoli, celery and peas, Katy reportedly also requests three bottles of chilled Pinot Grigio white wine and a selection of tortilla chips at every show.
The green-haired beauty’s demands extend to her dressing room, which she asks to be filled with custom-made French lamps, a director’s chair with her name printed on it and a cream rug.
Katy also requests an extra room filled with fresh pink and white flowers that she can relax in, as well as a wardrobe filled with beauty products and clothes.
The superstar is extremely generous, however, and forked out a massive £1,000 on spicy chicken from restaurant chain Nando’s for her entourage last week after kicking off her ‘Prismatic’ world tour in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
