“Basically, I come up in a tube, like Taylor Swift, from the bottom of the stage. Before I come up, there’s a glass that gets smashed onstage. On the first night that I ever do this, our crew opens the doors, and they put the light on this small, little podium that I’m supposed to get onto with bare feet, and there’s glass. They go, ‘OK, Katherine, there’s glass on the stage. Just cover your eyes when you’re going up and it will be OK.’ I’m like, ‘Cool, cool. Yup,’” Katherine told Backstage.

She continued, “I get into this tiny tube, hunched over, knees bent, head ducked with my hands covering my eyes as it’s raining glass, and I’m just hearing the intro [to my song]. That was my opening night, me coming up through the tube with glass pouring in from the sky and all over the floor.”
