Katy Perry Returns with a Controversial Tour

Katy Perry has officially launched her much-anticipated ‘Lifetimes’ tour, but not everyone is thrilled about what they’re seeing. Fans in attendance at the opening night in Mexico City on April 23 were left divided, especially regarding the show’s choreography.

Space-Themed Show and AI Adventures

The concert at Arena CDMX celebrated Perry’s comeback album ‘143’ and featured a unique virtual reality theme, where she portrayed a half-human, half-machine hero battling an AI menace named ‘The Mainframe.’ The dramatic premise suggests the AI has stolen the world’s butterflies and turned dogs against their owners.

Choreography Gets Mixed Reviews

While the concept sounds intriguing, actual footage from the performance has gone viral, mostly for the wrong reasons. Critics noted some underwhelming choreography moments. In her rendition of ‘E.T.,’ Perry wielded a glowing red weapon reminiscent of Star Wars but faced scrutiny for the lackluster moves accompanying it.

Fans React: Praise vs. Criticism

Social media users took to platforms like X to express their mixed reactions. Some were quick to poke fun, questioning the execution of her moves with captions like, 'Doing so much but nothing at the same time.' Meanwhile, others defended Perry, highlighting her aerial stunts and intense choreography throughout the performance.

Upcoming Shows and Controversies

This tour follows another notable event in Perry's life: her recent participation in an all-female space mission, where she sang 'What A Wonderful World' during the voyage. Despite the groundbreaking mission, it has faced backlash, with several celebrities criticizing her for participating in what some deemed an unnecessary spaceflight.

Will Fans Embrace the Tour?

As Perry prepares to take her show across the UK and Europe later this year, fans are left wondering if the choreography will improve and if the mixed reviews will affect her reception. Only time will tell if ‘Lifetimes’ will soar to new heights or remain grounded in controversy.
