“Someone help” — Fans poke fun as Katy Perry reveals ‘LIFETIMES’ tour setlist… from space

Katy Perry has never been one to keep things low-key. Whether it's shooting fireworks from her chest or turning the Met Gala into a literal chandelier, she knows how to make an entrance. But her latest stunt might just take the (celestial) cake.

In a move that has left the internet both baffled and cackling, Katy Perry revealed the setlist for her upcoming LIFETIMES tour from space. Yes, outer space. Because nothing screams I'm back like dropping your tracklist from the stratosphere. The singer, known for her elaborate visuals and pop theatrics, shared a post that looked like something out of a sci-fi mockumentary, and naturally, the internet ran with it.

Katy Perry’s LIFETIMES tour setlist reveal from space sends internet into orbit

In the post, a giant scroll floated above the Earth’s atmosphere, supposedly bearing the songs fans can expect on her new tour. It looked like the kind of thing Elon Musk would launch after a few mimosas. The visuals? Dramatic. The execution? Questionable. The vibe? Somewhere between “NASA intern’s PowerPoint” and “Pinterest mood board for billionaires.”

People squinted, zoomed in, flipped their phones upside down, and still couldn’t quite figure out if this was a real thing or just a very expensive fever dream. It didn’t take long before Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok exploded with reactions, and not the kind the PR team was probably hoping for.

The general consensus? Confusion, mild concern, and a lot of secondhand embarrassment.

One user summed up the collective head tilt perfectly:

“Someone help.”

Another chimed in with a vibe check that felt all too real:

“So… This was a paid for publicity stunt? Just for an album???”

At one point, the conversation took a hard left turn into conspiracy territory, with someone pointing out:

“Why the earth look flat here 👀👀👀”

Sure, maybe the science isn’t the focus here, but when you're going to space, folks will pull out their magnifying glasses. And perhaps their tinfoil hats.

Of course, what’s a pop spectacle without someone questioning the budget?

“Waste of money to become relevant again,” one user sighed, possibly while holding a calculator and shaking their head.

Then came the classic roast, but make it oddly inspirational. A fan (or anti-fan?) wrote:

“She puts so much effort into things that will flop it’s kind of inspiring.”

Ouch. But hey, effort is effort.

And while the whole scroll-in-space concept was meant to be jaw-dropping, most fans were just trying to decipher the blurry letters. Someone captured the moment beautifully with:

“Me trying to read it.”

We’ve all been there. Struggling to read something important only to end up cross-eyed and questioning life choices.

Another summed up the sentiment of many:

“Such a lame publicity stunt.”

Still, amidst all the digital eye rolls and LOLs, there’s something undeniably Katy Perry about the whole thing. Katy Perry’s always been one to lean all the way into the absurd, whether people love it or not. And if getting people to talk was the goal, mission accomplished. Loud and clear. From space.

So while the LIFETIMES setlist may have debuted closer to the moon than the main stage, one thing’s for sure: Katy Perry knows how to stir the internet pot. Even if the stew ends up a little weird, at least it’s never boring.

And hey, flat Earth or not, we’re all just here for the show.
