Katy Perry is back and brighter than ever as she kicks off the UK leg of her Lifetimes Tour — her first in seven years. At her Glasgow show on October 7, the pop superstar delivered a 130-minute spectacle filled with flying stunts, dazzling visuals, and heartfelt moments. From the start, Katy was full of energy, performing songs while suspended above the crowd in futuristic outfits that matched the tour’s sci-fi video game theme.
The show opens with “Artificial,” where Katy floats in the center of the arena like a character from a space movie. She sings “I Kissed A Girl” from a globe above the audience, surrounded by dancers twisting and turning mid-air. For her new track “Nirvana,” she flips through the sky and runs over dancers while hanging from a harness. Later, she rides a giant butterfly around the arena and rises 10 feet on a podium during “All The Love.”
The stage is shaped like an infinity symbol, giving fans from all angles a perfect view. Between songs, animated videos show Katy’s mission to save Earth’s butterflies and bring love back to the planet. But beyond the fantasy, the real theme is resilience. Katy opens up about her tough year — a breakup, online criticism, and backlash from her space flight — and reminds fans to embrace their emotions. “Don’t be afraid of your tears — they’re trying to heal you,” she says during “Teary Eyes.”
She also jokes about social media, changes lyrics to reflect her feelings, and ends the night with sass and gratitude. “I’m almost 41 — and f***ing fabulous,” she declares. With 1.1 million tickets sold and over £60 million earned so far, Katy’s comeback is not just powerful — it’s magical.
