Katy Perry turns on CDMX with a trip to Musical Galaxy

The Mexican capital surrendered to Katy Perry, who chose Mexico City as a starting point for its world tour “The Lifes Tour”.

The American singer offered a visual and emotional show that turned the enclosure into a universe of lights, mechanical butterflies and retro-fouturist video games.

From hours before the beginning, the surroundings of the enclosure looked like a pop catwalk. Fans dressed in rabbit ears, butterfly and attire headbands inspired by different ages of the singer flooded the area, while vendors offered unofficial merchandise, from crowns with LED lights to blankets with the image of “Santa Katy”.

Thank you very much, Mexico City 🇲🇽
With love,
Tia Katy 🧡♾️

The show started with a cyber -style video announced by an “game over.” Next, Katy Perry appeared descending from the roof inside a luminous cage while singing “artificial”, causing a euphoric outbreak among the 18 thousand attendees.

The staging followed a video game structure, where each song represented an unlocked “level”. The infinite symbol form allowed the artist to constantly approach her audience, creating an intimate atmosphere within the mass show.

In the first third of the show, the interpreter unleashed the nostalgia with a burst of successes: “Teenage Dream”, “Hot N Cold”, “Last friday night”, “California Gurls” and “I kisse to Girl”.

Later, he dedicated a moment to explore his less known catalog with an interactive dynamic. The public voted through QR codes for songs that rarely interprets, as “Not Like the Movies” and “The One That Got Away.”

Between laughs and surprises, Perry invited fans disguised as astronauts to the stage. Although the interaction was clumsy by the language barrier, spontaneous moments generated tenderness and virality.

Each section of the concert was thought as part of a narrative. In “Wide Awake”, Katy crossed the catwalk surrounded by air dance. In “Rise”, he appeared with a robotic hand firing rays, while in “roar” the air mounted on a mechanical butterfly.

The emotional climax came with “All The Love”, a ballad dedicated to his daughter Daisy Dove, who transformed the dystopian atmosphere in an intimate and maternal moment. “It is the best decision I have made,” he visibly moved.

The closure came with “Firework”, accompanied by real fireworks and a final narrative on screens on hope and light. Katy Perry said goodbye with a powerful message: turning on the inner spark, even in dark times.

Thus, the CDMX witnessed a show that mixed technology, nostalgia, tenderness and pop power in its purest form.
