Perry first teased the tour during her " We Can Survive " event at the Hollywood Bowl on October 23 , 2013 , where she encouraged fans to see her on her 2014 tour , stating that it would be " magical " . She told '' Entertainment Weekly '' that " The tour is going to be fantastic . I always try to take it to the next level . I think people will realize what the tour is going to be like when they listen to the music . " She also emphasized that she would be " very close " to the audience during the tour . At the 2013 MTV Europe Music Awards , Perry said the show would be " less cartoony " than the California Dreams Tour and would be a " feast for your eyes " . Perry told Capital FM in December 2013 that the tour has a less of a storyline than her previous endeavors , saying : I 'm going to bring all the bells and whistles like it was last time but it wo n't be so highly narrated . I just want a little bit more room to express myself ... I 'm just really excited . I just did a big tour meeting yesterday and saw the graphic drawing of the stage and it 's unlike anything I 've seen for any other artist and it 's unlike anything I 've ever done . It 's different , it 's fresh , it 's clean and it 's actually in the middle of the audience . Over 275 costumes were designed for the tour , including 80 for the dancers . Perry gave designer Marina Toybina intricate details for each outfit 's materials , patterns , and designs . According to Toybina , " Perry 's creative involvement was daily , down to us deciding together on trims , final prints , specific materials and color spectrum for any and all digital artwork "
