Katy Perry officially launched her highly anticipated “Lifetimes” tour this week in Mexico City, but early reactions suggest the kickoff might not be quite the “blast off” she hoped for.

The pop superstar, promoting her new album “143”, stunned audiences with an elaborate recreation of her much-memed Blue Origin space flight. Dressed in a shiny, astronaut-inspired bodysuit, Perry soared around the arena attached to a rig before landing for a selfie with backup dancers dressed as NASA astronauts.

“Has anyone ever called your dreams crazy?” Perry asked the crowd after touching down — a nod to her personal passion for space tourism, a theme woven heavily into the show.

While some fans praised her daring stagecraft, others weren’t as impressed — and they made it known across social media.

Criticism Over Choreography and Stage Direction

Videos from the first leg of the Lifetimes Tour quickly went viral — but not all for good reasons. Critics slammed Perry’s choreography, describing it as awkward and poorly rehearsed.

“Maybe instead of going to space she should have been rehearsing her fight scenes moves a little more,” one user joked on X (formerly Twitter).

Other fans went even further, calling the entire concert “messy” and “cringe,” with some users joking that they were personally offended by the lack of artistic direction.

“Every single video I am seeing from this Katy Perry tour is literally so cringe. Lmfao,” another comment read.

Controversy Over “Woman’s World” Performance

The backlash intensified during Perry’s performance of “Woman’s World”, a song centered around female empowerment — where eagle-eyed fans noticed she was surrounded by an all-male group of backup dancers.

“It says a lot about the kind of feminism she claims to represent,” one critic wrote, pointing out the irony.

Some fans even encouraged others to skip buying tickets altogether, questioning whether seeing the tour is worth it “in this economy.”

A Rare Moment of Unity Online

Despite deep divisions on social media, Katy Perry’s concert seems to have achieved one rare thing: uniting Republicans and Lady Gaga fans — both groups joining forces in their critique.

“Republicans and Gaga fans … they’re united in their Katy Perry hate and it kinda makes sense,” an X user observed.

Sometimes, even a girlboss can fly just a little too close to the sun.
