Katy Perry has kicked off her Lifetimes Tour with a space-themed performance of her smash hit Roar. For the performance, Perry was dressed in a silver metallic garb reminiscent of a spacesuit, suspended in the air as she belted out the lyrics to the female empowerment anthem.

The pop star also seemingly addressed critics of her controversial space trip as she brought out two men wearing NASA jumpsuits and took a selfie with them onstage. Katy Perry, known for her lavish live performances, also asked the audience,

“Has anyone ever called your dreams crazy?”

Her first show, held at the CDMX Arena in Mexico, included a comprehensive setlist of over twenty songs, including Dark Horse, California Gurls, Teenage Dream, Artificial, and The One That Got Away.

@PopCrave, a popular culture news outlet on X, shared an eleven-second video of the Fireworks hitmaker flying through the CDMX Arena in what appeared to be a giant butterfly singing the chorus of Roar:

"I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter/Dancing through the fire'/ Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar/ Louder, louder than a lion/ 'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar,”

@Kinnzayyy tweeted in response:

“SHE IS A DIVA!!!”

Other X users praised the songstress for giving the audience an iconic performance:

“This is iconic. Katy Perry knows how to give us a performance,” @pedrokctt stated.

An X user stated that Katy Perry had been giving great performances since 2013:

“She been roaring since 2013 and still ain't lost her voice, legend status certified. The Lifetimes Tour really said, "Let me remind y'all who the pop queen is,” @one1planet tweeted.
“Y’all can call her a flop, but she knows how to put up a SHOW,” @claudiaalbbh commented.
“This gurl never compromised production value. Gotta give her the flowers she deserves,” @makatitwinktop added.
