Katy Perry is back And he did it as just a star of his caliber can do it: with a world tour that started in the CDMX sand and that is as ambitious as emotional. The Lifeses Tour Not only is it a show, it’s A futuristic celebration of all eras that have made it one of the most powerful pop icons.
Mexico as a starting point for The Lifeses Tour
Not every day a star of such caliber decides to start his world tour in Mexico. But Katy did it. From the early hours of Wednesday, the CDMX sand was a pop parade: Pop nostalgia: fans with outfits of all its eras – from One of the Boys until 143-, of its iconic mid -time top show, colored wigs and a lot of glitter. It was like entering a carnival designed by and for Katycats.
But what we saw on stage was something else. The Lifeses Tour It is an immersive experience that mixes Narrative, visual postopocalyptic video game style, and a Katy Perry Android That has to save the world.
A concert that is played as a video game
The show is divided into levels – literal. Each has a different aesthetic, challenges to fulfill, and even a robotic pet: Kitty Bot. Katy, in its Android version, travels through these levels while singing songs that marked a generation. From “Hot N ‘Cold” to “Woman’s World”, going through hymns like “Teenage Dream” and “I Kissed to Girl”.
The narrative relies on unique visuals that explain the mission of each act, and yes, there is a final level with chief included.
Katy Perry, fans and the most emotional moment
One of the most magical moments of the night was when Katy presented the Level 3.5: Choose Your Own Adventure. Here, it was the turn of a surprise songsomething in the style of what Taylor Swift did in The You were touryes, Katy knew how to give her distinctive touch to involve the fan, then Through a QR code they are the ones who choose the surprise song.
This time he played “Not Like The Movies”, a theme that did not sing since 2012, and then “The One That Got Away” came, which made more than one cry (we know). Two fans disguised as astronauts took the stage to live it closely. Imagine being there … unforgettable.
Katy flew … literally
Truly Katy sings, dances, uploads platforms, flies, flies and, again, flies on stage … literal. At level 3, entitled Nirvanawe see a Katy flying over a bright flower field and vibrant colors. Meanwhile, several album songs sound 143 and an EDM version of “Wide Awake” that completely transforms the original vibrate of the song. Can you imagine being able to say “Katy flew over me”? Something that not anyone can.
Katy also took a moment to talk directly to the public: “Long live Mexico!” He shouted with a huge smile. And when fans answered him with the already typical “Katy, sister, you’re already Mexican”she answered with laughter: “Actually, it could be his aunt … I’m Aunt Katy”. How not to love her?
An epic closure with butterflies and fireworks
The climax arrived with “roar”, when Katy flew again on a giant butterfly. And as if that were not enough, he closed with “Firework”, while The CDMX sand became a sea of lights, screams and pure emotion. A perfect way to say: this show was a celebration of its legacy, yes, but also a love letter to its fans.
We may not be facing the Katy Perry who dominated the charts, but we are facing an artist who knows what it is worth, what he has given, and who has decided to enjoy it without complexes. The Lifeses Tour It is the proof that Katy continues to shine strongly. And best of all: he decided to share that rebirth first with Mexico.
