"She needs to cancel this tour": Internet displeased with Katy Perry's Lifetimes Tour dance performance 

Katy Perry's Lifetimes Tour kicked off in style in Mexico City with an extraordinary display of visual splendor. The global pop sensation, now 40, delivered a show that was partly intergalactic fantasy and partly intimate fan celebration, marking a bold start to a journey that will span over 80 shows across multiple continents, culminating on December 7 in Abu Dhabi.

Katy Perry's performance faced criticism, and fans took to X to express their displeasure.

"She needs to cancel this tour before it cancels her career I’m so serious," an X user wrote.

Netizens displeased with Katy Perry's Lifetimes Tour dance performance

Several X users expressed their dissatisfaction with the singer's performance

"What is her team even doing? What's the point of this video? Watch her getting dragged for the vocals," an X user commented on Katy Perry's performance.

"Something happened to her while she was in space," another commented.

"I’m almost certain she’s still suffering from jet lag after that space peen/6 girls and a B-cup drop space expedition…you don’t soar to such heights without sacrificing your body. Just look that other astronaut and her chin…the space struggle is real," another wrote.

"Why does she try to dance when she clearly cannot dance? Taylor Swift is another one that does that. There is nothing wrong with standing on stage and singing. Many singers in the past used to do that," another X user reacted.

Katy Perry's kickoff performance of her Lifetimes Tour

Dressed in a futuristic silver bodysuit, Katy Perry fully leaned into her Blue Origin spaceflight narrative, playfully turning controversy into spectacle. As she flew over the heads of the audience in a dynamic aerial display, she also put out the message of big dreams which in turn ignored the critics.

Adding flair to the cosmic concept, she brought two performers clad in NASA-style jumpsuits onstage and snapped a selfie, making it clear she’s not shying away from her otherworldly ambitions.

But beyond the spectacle, the night was also a love letter to Perry’s longtime fans. Staying true to her promise of spotlighting lesser-known tracks, she stunned the audience with a live rendition of Not Like the Movies, a soulful ballad from her Teenage Dream era. It was the first time in over a decade that the emotional track made it to the stage, and the stripped-down performance in a bubblegum pink dress added an emotional weight to the otherwise high-energy show.

In a new twist, Katy Perry added a “Choose Your Own Adventure” element to the concert that let the audience influence the setlist in real-time. With the use of a QR code, fans were able to vote for which songs they wanted to see from which era of her career. This innovative feature made each show a unique experience. For the opening night, crowd favorites like “The One That Got Away” earned a spot in the lineup, alongside even deeper cuts from her discography, including tracks from her pre-fame gospel album, Katy Hudson.

While two upcoming shows in Guadalajara were canceled due to venue issues, Perry’s tour has already proved to be more than a nostalgia trip—it’s a celebration of evolution, risk-taking, and fan connection on a cosmic scale.
