Katy Perry made headlines during her recent concert in Nevada by addressing a fan who has allegedly been sending persistent private messages to her partner, actor Orlando Bloom. During her performance on Saturday night, she paused her set and directly confronted the fan, whom she referred to as Kyle.
Perry’s candor drew a mix of laughter and cheers from the audience as she firmly stated, “If you keep DM-ing my man, I’m gonna have you removed. Seriously, get your own life. I’m his wife. I don’t want it. I’m his.” She emphasized the point with humor, saying, “He don’t want you, Kyle. I’m his wife. I’m his, he’s mine … stay the f**k away.” This interaction quickly went viral on social media.
However, it was later revealed that this exchange was all part of a scripted routine, designed to transition into her upcoming single, “I’m His, He’s Mine,” scheduled for release in 2024.
Despite the light-hearted moment at the show, Perry’s Lifetimes world tour has faced its own hurdles. While the Australia leg of the tour saw many dates sold out, the US section has been less successful, struggling with ticket sales and not selling out major arenas.
Criticism of the tour has also emerged, particularly regarding its production value. Some social media users have described elements of the show—such as Perry’s performance style and the use of AI-generated imagery in backdrops—as “low-budget” and lacking effort. Comparisons have been made to budget productions, with one commentator noting the use of artificial intelligence in visuals during performances, and another highlighting Perry’s apparent disengagement during some segments.
Perry’s engagement with her fans remains a memorable aspect of her performances, and despite the criticisms, there’s still optimism in the air about her potential for future success, particularly with the anticipated release of her new music. Her ability to connect with her audience—whether through humor or her artistic endeavors—continues to define her career in the ever-evolving music industry.
