In a spectacular yet cringe-worthy display, Katy Perry kicked off her highly anticipated 'Lifetimes Tour' in Mexico City, but it seems her choreography left much to be desired. Just a week after taking a cosmic leap into space, videos from the concert reveal a performance that many are dubbing lackluster and uninspired.

A Conceptual Show With a Weak Execution

The concert, which marks the beginning of Perry’s three-night residency at Arena CDMX, promotes her 2024 album '143,' but fans were not convinced. The thematic concept—a video game-inspired narrative where Perry, dubbed a 'half-human, half-machine,' battles an all-powerful AI called the Mainframe—seemed intriguing on paper. However, the execution fell flat.

Viral Videos Capture Awkward Moments

Fans quickly took to social media, uploading clips that reveal several cringe-worthy choreography moments. In one clip, Perry wields a double-sided lightsaber, attempting to battle the villains. Instead of a fierce showdown, she slowly shuffles across the stage, gesturing with her weapon as an enemy nonchalantly grabs it, resulting in a comically underwhelming tug-of-war.

One fan brilliantly captured the essence of the choreography level, likening it to something out of a middle school musical. Perry’s finale, where she dramatically fell to the ground with her feet in the air, sparked a humorous NSFW tweet that circulated wildly online.

Compared to Industry Giants, Did She Miss the Mark?

With the recent high-energy performances from pop powerhouses like Lady Gaga at Coachella and Taylor Swift's nostalgia-driven 'Eras Tour,' Perry's presentation appears to pale in comparison. A TikTok user quipped that maybe Perry should have dedicated more time preparing rather than floating through space.

The Show Must Go On

Regardless of the dubious choreography, the 'Lifetimes Tour' is far from over. After concluding her Mexico dates on May 2nd, Perry is set to bring her show to the United States, with stops in cities like Houston, Chicago, and Las Vegas, before heading to Australia. Then, she'll return to the US for another leg in July, performing in major cities including New York and Seattle. Despite the mixed reviews, the excitement continues—who knows what she'll unveil next?
