After years away from the stage, Katy Perry is back—and she’s coming in hot. With her Lifetimes Tour kicking off this April in Mexico City, the global pop icon is revving up her fans like never before. But while the excitement is undeniable, something else is stealing the spotlight—her latest look. And it’s got fans buzzing for more reasons than one.
Can you believe it’s been seven years since Katy hit the road for a global tour? The Lifetimes Tour is shaping up to be a massive event, with 83 shows planned across the U.S., Australia, South America, and Europe. Yep, she’s going worldwide, and her fans couldn’t be more thrilled.

She recently took to Instagram to stoke the hype, posting a stunning photo of herself in a glittering Bob Mackie-inspired gown that gave major Cher vibes. Alongside the photo, she wrote, “T minus 37 days till this bedazzled butterfly takes flight on The Lifetimes Tour! Are you READY?!”
The comment section lit up like fireworks on the Fourth of July. One user gushed, “Spread those wings and fly, beauty. Can’t wait to dance.” Another added, “I still can’t believe I’m going to see you for the first time!”
You could practically feel the countdown clock ticking.
Let’s talk about that dress for a second. The crystal-covered, curve-hugging masterpiece was clearly inspired by Cher’s iconic Bob Mackie looks. And it did not disappoint.
Even fellow celebs took notice. Nicole Scherzinger jumped into the comments with a big, “Yaaaas, she’s giving Cher!!!” while Jessica Simpson dropped a fire emoji. You know you’re doing something right when other pop queens are cheering you on.
But not all the reactions were about sparkle and shine.
While many were loving the glam, some fans voiced concern about Katy’s noticeably thinner frame. In fact, the conversation shifted from tour excitement to comments about her health.
One user commented, “I’m ready to see you eat a steak or a nice burger. You look very overworked and underweight. Concerned human.” Another said, “Oh dear. Looks ill.” And then there was this blunt remark: “Girl, why so skinnnnny?”
Now, it’s the internet—we know how wild comment sections can get. But the pattern was clear: alongside all the excitement, a lot of fans were genuinely worried about how lean she looked.
Here’s the thing—Katy Perry has always been bold, whether she’s dropping chart-toppers or rocking outlandish stage costumes. But when you’re that visible, every post becomes a topic of conversation. And fans aren’t just looking at your art—they’re watching your every move.

It’s a tough line to walk. On one hand, she’s putting on a show, working hard, and making sure this tour is everything fans have dreamed of. On the other, some feel like she’s pushing too hard and possibly forgetting about herself in the process.
Could the intense prep for the tour be taking a toll? Maybe. Or maybe this is just a momentary shift. Either way, her fans are watching closely—and they care.
Now, let’s lighten the mood. In a surprise announcement, Rebecca Black—yes, the same Rebecca Black from “Friday”—will be joining Katy on tour. And their dynamic is already gold.
The two posted a funny skit on Instagram where Rebecca wore cartoonishly exaggerated chest pieces, poking fun at pop culture with Katy playing the straight-faced sidekick. One fan commented, “Help, how did you keep a straight face while filming this??” The chemistry? Unmatched.
It’s moments like these that remind us why we love Katy—she doesn’t take herself too seriously. She’s still having fun.
With each day that passes, excitement around The Lifetimes Tour keeps growing. From fan-made posters to cities getting ready to welcome her in full glitter mode, there’s no doubt this tour will be one for the books.
And it’s not just about music. Fans are expecting full-on theatrics, jaw-dropping visuals, emotional throwbacks, and the kind of electric energy only a Katy Perry show can deliver.
So, what’s coming down the road?
Well, besides the official tour kickoff in April, there’s talk of new music being released during or right after the tour. Katy’s also hinted that she may bring her daughter, Daisy, along for some of the global stops—making it a family affair.

In a recent interview, she reflected on her career highs and lows, and how becoming a mother has shifted her entire perspective. Now, she’s doing things with more intention, more heart.
She even joked about how she once dove into a crowd during a 2003 show and now wonders, “What was I thinking?” It’s that mix of reflection and ridiculousness that keeps her relatable—even when she’s standing in front of tens of thousands.
Look, Katy Perry’s got people talking. Whether it’s the jaw-dropping dress, the epic tour lineup, or the concern from longtime fans—she’s making headlines. And when you’ve been in the game as long as she has, that’s no small feat.
Fans are ready. She’s ready. The world is watching.
So as The Lifetimes Tour gets set to launch, one thing is for sure: Katy Perry’s comeback isn’t just about music—it’s about resilience, creativity, and reminding us all that she still knows how to command a stage.
Love her or worry about her—either way, we’ll all be watching when the lights go up and that first beat drops.
