Katy Perry: Part of Me (advertised and stylized as Katy Perry: Part of Me 3D) is a 2012 3D documentary concert film centering on singer Katy Perry. It was released in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Ireland on July 5, 2012.

Plot

This film tells the story of the trajectory of Perry's career as gospel singer Katheryn Hudson until the present day as pop singer and global superstar Katy Perry, bearing testimony from Katy (real name Katheryn) about her childhood, talking about the Teenage Dream era, with scenes from backstage of her last world tour while trying to take time to resolve personal problems, including her divorce from British comedian Russell Brand. The interim scenes document her last world tour, the California Dreams Tour, and were recorded on November 23, 2011 at Staples Center, Los Angeles.

Background and promotion

Perry at the premiere of Part of Me in Australia.

On March 7, 2012, Perry announced via Twitter that she and Paramount Pictures would release a part-biopic, part-concert film entitled Katy Perry: Part of Me in summer of 2012. She tweeted: "FINALLY, my MOVIE is coming out with Paramount this summer! It's called "KATY PERRY: PART OF ME" Presented In 3D!".[2] Perry told MTV News that the film was the closing to the Teenage Dream era and explained what to expect, stating, "It's closing the chapter on Teenage Dream, but it's giving you such an inside perspective [...] This film, you're going to see it from my best friend/buddy perspective, you're going to see exactly what I mean and feel and think about everything."[3]

One golden ticket to the movie premiere was placed in a random physical copy of Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection.[4] The first trailer of the film was aired during the 2012 Kids' Choice Awards. On March 31, 2012, Perry announced via Twitter that the film would be released during the weekend of July 4. She tweeted: "Now...are you READY to go see MY film PART OF ME in 3D JULY 4th WEEKEND?!". A trailer of the film was released on April 2, 2012 on iTunes Store worldwide.[5] Perry teamed up with Pepsi to promote the film. The partnership included co-branded television and radio spots, digital advertising and retail displays. All elements of the campaign featured Pepsi's new global tag line, "Live for Now". The campaign offered consumers the chance to win trips to attend the world premiere of the film in Los Angeles, which included a live performance by Perry.[6] In June 2012, Perry held the American premier in Hollywood where she shut down Hollywood Boulevard to put on a free concert. [7] Perry also held and attended to further premieres in Sydney, Australia and London, England, where she walked the "Pink Carpet".[8][9] On July 30, 2012, there was a premiere in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with the presence of Perry.

Special RealD 3D glasses were designed and distributed in theaters. The glasses featured a white and red "candy stripe" motif common to Perry's visual style and also featured the film's official Twitter hashtag.

Footage of songs performed on the California Dreams Tour are listed below in the order they appear in the film. The list does not include songs used as background music; "Part of Me" plays over the opening montage, and "Wide Awake" during the end credits.
