The Loco game of the ‘Lifesian Tour’ in the CDMX sand

What you need to know:

Katy Perry opened The Lifesses Tour in Mexico. We tell you how the first concert was put on the CDMX sand.

The Lifeses Tour of Katy Perry It started in Mexico, precisely in the CDMX sand. The tour arrives at a strange moment for the artist because, well, her last albums (from Witness to 143) have not hit as much as they did at the time Teenage Dream either Prism.

But today, although perhaps he is not in a position to create massive hits as he did more than 10 years ago, he can afford to make a tour to celebrate his legacy. And you can do it because It was one of the greatest pop milestones of the last decade.

Curiously, The most successful era Katy Perry coincided with Lady Gaga’s most successful eramusically speaking. And for this week, we are fortunate to have them both with their respective concerts in the Mexican capital.

Therefore, it is not strange that some fans on the way to the CDMX sand remember that ‘rivalry’ (which is more an argument between fandoms than anything else). “Who do you think brings better show?”a girl asked.

“As for production, I think Katy”his friend answered, who also said that he did not see Gaga’s shows in Coachella to be able to discover it next weekend. I knew decision … but now, I had to discover The Lifeses Tour of Katy Perry in Mexico.

Katy Perry in Mexico: What is The Lifeses Tour ‘like?

Rarely in Mexico we are lucky that an artist starts his tour here, so ––Bendito – – I also went with the surprise factor. And in that sense, although not precisely surprising, It is always amazing how dedicated fans with their attire for concerts.

It is like a nostalgic fashion parade where everyone remembers each of the You were, times, lives (as they want to call him) by Katy Perry. Outifts inspired by the videos of “Hot N ‘Cold”, “Dark Horse”, the sharks of that iconic 2015 Super Bowl… to the Pin-up attire of “Woman’s World” looked around.

Would Katy Perry do something similar in Mexico? Would we see her recreate the different aesthetics we saw on her past albums and videos? Not precisely. In fact, your show has a very interesting concept that It develops as a post-apocalyptic narrative video game.

In that context, Katy Perry emerges as an android that must save the world crossing different missions or levels. So indeed, The concert is divided into actsan element that is quite fashionable among pop stars that already have a long career in tow. These are the acts or levels of The Lifeses Tour:

1. Artificial

2. Woman’s World

3. Nirvana

3.5 Choose Your Own Adventure

4. Mainframe

5. End Game

Just as in video games, between each level some visuals are projected where the missions to follow are explained, the achievements achieved and even presented to a curious pet called Kitty Bota robot kitten that will be a companion of Katy-Droid ‘(this name we put it here, h).

A Katy Perry and the happiness of starting the tour in Mexico

And well, once the robot kitten explains the missions (which is part of level 1), The Katy Perry Android starts its adventure at level 2: Woman’s World. On the catwalk stage, they set up a metal statue in the style of Atlas holding the world, only in this case it is a female figure.

Then come songs like “Woman’s World”, “California Gurls” or “Teenage Dream” and “Hot N ‘Cold”. Yes, pure liver (well, the last three are hits, hehe) to remember the period of One of the Boys and Teenage Dream.

And it is so far when Katy Perry finally starts a direct dialogue with people in the CDMX sand with all the charism that is known. “Mexico City, I must tell you something. Like someone who is from California, live Mexico! I’m very happy to start my tour here. Welcome to The Lifeses Tour “said.

“Katy, sister, you’re already Mexican” It was the public’s response and the singer asked what that meant. A person from the public translated him and she immediately said: “Actually, it could be his aunt … I’m Aunt Katy”he said very good humor and then close level 2 with “I kissed to Girl.”

Negative point? Too EDM …

Level 3, named Nirvanait shows Katy Perry that flies between a field of what flowers seem to be, this while More songs from the album sound 143 and “Wide Awake” In an EDM version.

In fact, if you remember, the new album is very influenced by electronic music and dance-pop. And in this concert, that style applies to several classic songs, which helps mix a track with another making some themes shorter. Or in some cases, extending the Outros.

That is one of the not -so -good points of the show, personally spoken. Production It has a lot of the medley/potpourri element To be able to cover two hours of show and put as many songs possible by cutting some or expanding too much others.

Katy Perry and a sung with fans

But well, the excessive drink of EDM is coined, especially when they have very emotional moments such as the Level 3.5, which in this narrative is called Choose Your Own Adventure.

It is an intermediate, almost acoustic, Where Katy Perry is dedicated to singing a Deep Cut (That is, a song not so popular but equally valuable for the Katy Cats) and one of his great successes with a fan.

And yes, it is possible that some think that this looks like Katy Perry’s version when Taylor Swift sang a surprise song in The Eras Tour. In the end, this TF tour has molded the pop industry quite a lot becoming conceptual tours (Celebration Tour of Madonna and possibly the The Mayhem Ball of Lady Gaga for example).

However, Katy Perry puts his own seal to that element of the surprise songs. She makes the public interact and be part of the choice of songs through a QR code that projects on the screens.

For this start of tour, the Deep Cut selected was “Not like the movies”, Song of the album Teenage Dream that had not been touched since 2012. Wow! And follow, came “The One That Got Away” which was one of the most requested in the CDMX sand.

If it was already emotional to hear that song, imagine what they will have felt The two fans disguised as astronauts who took the stage with Katy to listen to her there, close to her. They did not sing, but they took the photo for memory.

Eye that Katy in this part selects fans by going around the shores of the stage to see the fans disguised more lit, huh …

Dedication for your daughter Daisy

In case they had the slope, Katy Perry revealed that his favorite song of 143 is “All The Love”. And it has a nice background … “The next song did not choose it, but it is my favorite of the album. I wrote it when I became a mother, which is the best decision I have had; have my little Dave Dove “Said the singer.
