Pop queens Katy Perry and Rebecca Black are making waves again, but this time, it's not about a viral single. The two singers teamed up for a cheeky skit to announce their joint venture, “The Lifetimes Tour,” leaving fans in a mix of hilarity and confusion. In the video, Perry, dressed in a colorful, eye-catching outfit, teases the tour while Black, ever the icon from her Friday fame, adds her unique humor to the mix.
As Perry tries to grab attention for the tour, one of her lines—“My eyes are up here”—strikes a chord, becoming an instant meme. But what really had fans going was Perry’s playful nod to her “big” comeback. With the skit, it looks like these two are ready to take fans on an unforgettable journey down memory lane—whether they want to or not.

"We’re going on The Lifetimes Tour. It’s gonna be big 🧡♾ @MsRebeccaBlack"
Pop queens Katy Perry and Rebecca Black team up for a hilarious tour announcement, and the internet can’t decide whether to laugh or cringe
Not all fans were on board with the playful tone of the skit, and Twitter quickly became a battlefield of mixed reactions. While some praised Perry and Black’s humor, others weren't as amused. @KFCmanager666 bluntly commented:
"Ur 40 yo... Grow up lol."
Ouch! But hey, it wouldn’t be a Katy Perry announcement without some sarcastic digs. Others chimed in, bringing Perry’s personal life into the chat, like @TheTeslaBull, who asked:
"Katy are you upset your bf lost the Super Bowl, or no?"
Clearly, some fans are still stuck on the fact that her fiancé, Orlando Bloom, didn’t quite make it in the sports world. As expected, the critiques continued to roll in, with @janus_bifrons questioning Perry’s current popularity:
"Do people like Katy Perry anymore?"
Amidst the shade, @john_mcelligott took a different approach by referencing Perry’s past hits, like Dark Horse:
"So you wanna play with magic..." (insert GIF of man riding a horse)
And, of course, no Twitter frenzy would be complete without a classic burn, like @glandheure, who took aim at Perry’s practicality:
"It's handy if you don't have a table to eat at but that's all 🤣."
The ultimate sting, though, came from @_kelslikesmusic, who lamented over Perry’s supposed fall from pop royalty, saying:
"You used to be a pop icon…. What happened."
Not exactly the warm welcome you’d expect for a tour announcement, but when you’ve got a name like Katy Perry, you’re bound to stir up all kinds of reactions.
A look back: Perry, Black, and “The Lifetimes Tour”
While fan reactions were mixed, the buzz around The Lifetimes Tour is undeniable. After all, it’s not every day you see Katy Perry teaming up with Rebecca Black—a pop culture pairing that has intrigued the masses. For Perry, who first catapulted to fame with hits like I Kissed A Girl, Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F), and Roar, this tour marks her return to the big stage after a quieter few years, raising her family with Bloom and focusing on American Idol.
For Rebecca Black, who is forever enshrined in internet history thanks to her 2011 viral hit Friday, the tour is a comeback in its own right. After spending years being ridiculed for her early music, Black has reclaimed her narrative, putting out more mature tracks and gaining respect for her resilience in the music industry.
While the specifics of the tour remain somewhat hush-hush, fans can expect a mix of nostalgia and new hits from both artists. Perry’s fans, eager for a return to her "pop era," are crossing their fingers that The Lifetimes Tour will bring back some of the magic from her earlier days. As for Black, it’s a chance to show the world she’s more than just a viral sensation.
