Did Katy Perry just silence critics with massive 8-figure earnings from her ‘Lifetimes’ tour?

Katy Perry is proving she knows how to stand on business with her latest power move. The “Roar” hitmaker recently revealed a glimpse of her 2025 Lifetimes tour earnings, shutting down the chatter. Before her bold statement, several outlets speculated that Perry was struggling with sluggish ticket sales and facing losses since the start of the tour.

Numerous critics have given the tour negative reviews, using words like unimpressive, middle-school-musical level, disassociated vibe, cringey, garish spectacle, cheap, and chintzy.

According to Katy Perry, her “Lifetimes” tour has sold 1.1 million tickets and earned over eighty million dollars. This revelation by the singer’s management only covers the shows held in the United States, Australia, and Canada, which include 53 dates out of 91 shows.
