Katy Perrythis week, He has had to make a difficult decision: cancel his two concerts in Guadalajaraplanned for days May 1 and 2because the enclosure where they were going to be celebrated – the new Guadalajara sand – is not finished. A situation that has frustrated both the artist and her thousands of Mexican fans who were waiting for her with open arms.
“I am very sad to announce this … “
“I am very sad to announce this … “wrote the singer herself on her social networks, explaining that neither she nor her team could guarantee a safe and complete experience in a space that has not been completed. As confirmed, the production visited the place days before and determined that it did not meet the necessary technical and security requirements so they had to carry out this painful decision.
The blow is especially bitter if we take into account the beautiful moment that the artist is going through. Perry has just starred one of the most commented scenes of the year: its trip to space as part of the NS-31 mission of Blue Origin. Together with other pioneer women, it was part of the first completely feminine crew in flying outside the atmosphere since 1963. During the eleven flight minutes, Katy performed an emotional version of ‘What Firm World ‘in a symbolic gesture that he wanted to dedicate to his daughter and all the women who dream of breaking barriers. Here are some images of that trip that will not forget in life.
Although the scene was historic and deeply inspiring, neither has Katy freed from criticism. Some have questioned the usefulness of these commercial flights to space, pointing out the high environmental impact that they suppose. According to some estimates, the trip would have generated a considerable carbon footprint, which has opened a debate about the real cost of this type of symbolic gestures.
Meanwhile, ‘The Lifeses Tour ‘ “Katy’s new tour,” continues its course in other cities. The singer has promised that she will compensate for her followers of Guadalajara, although there have been no details about how or when the encounter with her Mexican fans could be rescheduled. Hopefully I can soon relocate those two concerts elsewhere.
Frustration is understandable. It is not usual for a concert to be canceled for a reason like this, and less when it comes to an international blockbuster. Perry’s show requires a technical and visual infrastructure of great complexity, and not having the appropriate conditions is a risk that, in this case, nobody wanted to assume.
Beyond the incident, Katy continues to add chapters to a race that does not stop reinventing himself. It is not only one of the most powerful voices of world pop, but also a figure that does not fear – literally – to new horizons.

Now, it’s time to wait. See if Guadalajara will have a new date on the calendar and if the artist can return to the country in more favorable conditions. For now, It is clear that neither flying to space guarantees that everything comes round on earth. From Cadena 100 we want to send a lot of encouragement to Katy.
