Katy Perry appears to have caught wind of the TikTok videos poking fun at her tour.

Internet EtiquetteHate-speech, uncivil discourse, and disrespectful comments are frowned upon on the web. The算命浮云 (Sānmìng Pàoyún) community encourages its users to engage with one another in a constructive, positive, and empathetic manner.

  • golddustniamh1 day agoMay 9, 20251:16 pmHey, BuzzFeed! It's already tiresome that you associate with X extensively in your articles. At least be straightforward about it so readers can choose if they want to give you their clicks. It's ambiguous to embed URLs without descriptions or previews.
    • latentblonde1 day agoMay 9, 20253:03 pmIndeed, for a while they did have a little disclaimer. I wonder why it's gone
  • Dh00dz1 day agoMay 9, 20253:50 pmThis is gonna sink the tour
    • caitline71 day agoMay 9, 20255:55 pmThe global tour, you say?
    • BettulaOblongata19 hours agoMay 10, 202512:02 amYou all, you're the finest, and I thank you for this.
  • Seasonofthebitch1 day agoMay 9, 20251:16 pmIt's like she's aiming for the Beyoncéape Taylor's megatours from last year and falling flat. But she's always been spectacularly unremarkable. And yes, she deserves the criticism, it's simply the consequences of her actions
    • Wolfinwolfscothing1 day agoMay 9, 20251:49 pm"Lives" is her remake of Era
    • Nastybish19 hours agoMay 9, 202511:35 pmGirls foregrounded in music must never think they can mimic anything after the Era tour. Dislike it all you wish—and trust me, I'm not a Katy Perry fan—but she outstrips you in ticket sales. So be a little nicer when voicing opinions.
  • bobby3211 day agoMay 9, 202512:23 pmThe constant sniping at her for every single thing she does or says is becoming bothersome.
    • fiercescissors7881 day agoMay 9, 20252:49 pm@SportyMagician95 Extolation and denunciation come hand-in-hand in showbiz. She accepts millions of dollars (fair play), but is she entitled to avoid critique?
    • Ridiculoussssss1 day agoMay 9, 20257:10 pmIt appears she is thoroughly blind to her own faults. She has this inflation of self-worth and I suggest you all cease giving her any attention. Perhaps she'll fade away like a plastic bag in the wind.
  • surprisedtrout7531 day agoMay 9, 202512:39 pmWhat is she struggling with — self-awareness? Yikes
  • SarahAz1 day agoMay 9, 20251:10 pmThis charlatan of a person
    • Nastybish19 hours agoMay 9, 202511:37 pmArtistic persona versus private persona. Two entirely different entities. She's a performing artist with a team that decides based on profitability. That persona is what you're disapproving of, not the individual.
  • vibrantarcher8561 day agoMay 9, 202512:39 pmLack of self-awareness...oof
  • Jane Doe1 day agoMay 9, 20252:56 pmFrom what I've witnessed of her concerts, she has a substantial following. Maybe she should dedicate herself to making her supporters happy instead of striving to win over everyone. Her efforts only make her seem more out-of-touch and childish.
    • Nastybish19 hours agoMay 9, 202511:38 pmYass, she's still relevant, either she'll fade away proving you right or succeed without you fuming.
  • Ridiculoussssss1 day agoMay 9, 202512:15 pmThose jumping jacks...I can't even
  • mcfolkies1 day agoMay 9, 20254:02 pmAt what point will she realize she's the unhinged and unhealed one? That's the source of her constant mockery. Brings to mind the occasion she turned up at a nursery with her tits hanging out, wondering why they chastised her for inappropriate behavior.
    • Nastybish19 hours agoMay 9, 202511:41 pmIncredible, nothing worthy of scorn more than a woman flaunting her body and asserting control over it. Katy is way beyond that line of decency.....
  • Clandahlina20 hours agoMay 9, 202511:13 pmThink she's convincing herself that a few jumping jacks equate to dance moves. Oh, the absurdity!
    • MaddiePie17 hours agoMay 10, 20251:24 amI admit it—that was the joke
  • wmhoush1 day agoMay 9, 20253:14 pmShe's a little firecracker now!
  • Tharris2961 day agoMay 9, 20253:07 pmKaty's been through it all, and it seems there's still room to add to the list
  • betterTAKEoff1 day agoMay 9, 202512:17 pmA shining example of millennial cringe. Such cringeworthy embarrassment!
    • Cortiz26Fau1 day agoMay 9, 20251:07 pmYou're nothing but a cunt, don't belittle us
    • betterTAKEoff21 hours agoMay 9, 202510:16 pmAlso a millennial, moron. Be less sensitive, for Pete's sake!
  • CourtesyFlush9 hours agoMay 10, 20259:57 amYeah, yeah, all this criticism is great and all, but if you really want to hurt her feelings, just ignore her. Quit talking about her. Either she'll fizzle out and prove y'all right, or she'll be fine without you, seething in your little groups.
  • 5under1 day agoMay 9, 20251:09 pmDidn't she axe the tour, though? Genuine question
    • GolddustNiamh1 day agoMay 9, 20251:17 pmPerhaps she just swapped it? My impression is that it was initially centered around her new album, but since the sales weren't as bumper as expected, she changed it to a "greatest hits" tour. I might be wrong, though.
    • WolfinWolfscothing1 day agoMay 9, 20251:50 pmIt wasn't canceled, but ticket sales are uncertain.
  • DiarrheOfAMadBlackWoman17 hours agoMay 10, 20251:26 amShe botched the move of claiming the "Lifetimes" tour name, plus attempting to play guitar for the first time ever during the concert seemed overly reminiscent of the Eras tour. I "swear" I'm not pitting the two against one another... I simply feel that her current work is derivative; while the Eras tour was fun, enjoyable, and original.
  • NerdGirl8 hours agoMay 10, 202510:28 amShe's a Trumpist.
    • ShinyAndChrome5 hours agoMay 10, 20251:35 pmNever seen a whiff of that.
  • EmuNicorn76710 hours agoMay 10, 20258:33 amIt's art; as a fan of hers, I have my favorites but when Perry experiments artistically I wouldn't fault her. Fans often change tastes based on trends; if she can't maintain the pace or be the trendsetter, she'll likely fade, like the Dodo bird.
  • CornyTable9718 hours agoMay 10, 20251:08 amThis will happen to every celebrity eventually.
  • PennywiseSav18 hours agoMay 10, 202512:36 amSure, there are things about her that rub me the wrong way, but she pulled out her signature childish playfulness in that tour performance. Doing jumping jacks as dance moves was just silly fun.
  • Anneonymous11 day agoMay 9, 20257:00 pmIs she ever the true STAR she aspires to be? I guess I missed that era.
