Katy Perry Sends Defiant Message To Critics With Space-Themed Spectacle At Her 'Lifetimes Tour'

Katy Perry kicked off her "Lifetimes Tour" 2025 in Mexico City with space-themed performances, seemingly hitting back at the critics of her Blue Origin spaceflight.

As she forges ahead with her planned tour, the singer recently announced the cancellation of her Guadalajara dates due to the construction of an unfinished venue.

The space mission, intended as a female empowerment moment, has since drawn severe criticism and left Katy Perry reportedly regretting the theatrical elements, like kissing the ground.

Performing at CDMX Arena on Wednesday, Perry made a bold comeback on the opening night of her "Lifetimes Tour 2025" in Mexico City, defiantly addressing recent backlash over her Blue Origin space flight.

Taking a moment to speak to the crowd, the 40-year-old pop icon asked, "Has anyone ever called your dreams crazy?"

This was a likely nod to the critics who trashed her 11-minute trip into space.

Perry seemed unfazed despite online ridicule, where netizens called the space mission a PR stunt. She leaned into the controversy and even took a selfie mid-show with two men dressed in blue NASA suits.
