Katy Perry is going global in 2009, with a headlining tour that will take her from venues across the U.S. to far away cities such as Sweden and Paris. I guess girls will be kissing girls all over the World this Winter after Perry rocks her way through their town!

Perry will be hitting the road on January 23 in Seattle, Washington and will be belting out tunes nightly until her final stop on April 28 in St. Petersburg, Florida. According to a recent press release, Alphabet will be the opening act on all U.S. dates, while 3OH!3 will serve as crowd-warmers throughout Europe, which means you will need to get yourself to the show early so you don't miss these awesome up-and-coming groups. I'm serious ... don't be late or you will cry for a long time.
