Katy Perry Lifetimes Tour Backlash . Katy Perry is back on the road, but not without stirring up controversy. The pop icon’s opening night of her highly anticipated Lifetimes Tour in Mexico City quickly went viral — and not for the reasons she probably hoped.
Clips from the performance circulated across TikTok and Instagram, showing Perry dancing to her hit “Part of Me” in a robotic, stylized fashion. Dressed in a futuristic cone bra and thigh-high boots, her choreography left many fans scratching their heads. Social media exploded with mixed reactions, with many describing the dance moves as “awkward,” “uncomfortable,” and “like a school talent show.”
Adding to the criticism, Perry performed using two microphones, which only fueled more confusion among viewers. Ticket prices also came under fire, with comments like:
“Imagine paying hundreds to see this…”
“I just wanna know who choreographed this mess.”
Despite the wave of negativity, Katy kept her cool. She later shared a playful Instagram Story showing the lunch she packed for her daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, with the caption, “Back to reality.” It was a classic Perry move — lighthearted and unbothered.

Katy Perry Lifetimes Tour Backlash . Interestingly, this isn’t the only controversy Katy’s been involved in recently. Earlier this month, she boarded a Blue Origin spaceflight alongside Lauren Sánchez, Gayle King, and others for a quick 11-minute trip into suborbital space.
The journey, intended to symbolize a leap for civilian space tourism, was quickly labeled by some celebrities, including Emily Ratajkowski and Olivia Wilde, as nothing more than a “marketing stunt.”
During her Mexico City concert, Perry embraced the chatter, inviting two fans dressed in NASA suits on stage. She joked about her “current timeline,” showing she knows exactly how to handle the drama — with a wink and a smile.
