Katy Perry's Space Flight and Tour Stumbles Face Heat
Katy Perry is playing a prank
Katy Perry's recent adventures have left her walking a fine line between acclaim and condemnation. The pop sensation's latest escapades are drawing flak on two fronts - her brief space journey and her current North American tour.
Katy Perry boarded the Blue Origin spacecraft, a brainchild of Jeff Bezos, for a ten-minute trip into weightlessness. Although the gig was an admirable feat, it was met with a barrage of criticism. Critics dubbed it as an excessively decadent PR stunt, environmentally hazardous, and a boost to her stagnant career.
Enter Camila Cabello, who's adding fuel to the fire. While Perry commenced her "The Lifetimes Tour," Cabello is preparing for her European extravaganza starting in June. As a dig, Cabello shared a TikTok video showcasing her tour dates, jesting that she couldn't afford to jet off to space to promote them.
Perry's performances on stage in Mexico City have been under scrutiny, with some audience members criticizing her choreography as outdated and uninspired. "Please, no 'mom moves,'" oneTikTok user quipped, while another commented, "This is the worst choreography I've ever seen in my life." Others complained about inadequate rehearsals, suggesting Perry should have spent less time exploring the cosmos and more time perfecting her moves.
Besides the criticisms, Perry's North American tour shows seem to be suffering low sales. Reports suggest that several of her US concerts in May are yet to sell out, leading to speculations about both the impact of the space flight controversy and the lukewarm response to her latest album.
In response to the backlash during her Mexico City performance, Perry took the stage to address her critics, using the moment tohighlight the importance of pursuing one's dreams, no matter how crazy they may seem[1]. As the North American tour continues, Perry remains dedicated to delivering unforgettable shows for her fans[2].
