Katy Perry's Lifetimes Tour Faces Poor Ticket Sales Amid Backlash Over Blue Origin Flight

Katy Perry's recent Blue Origin spaceflight, which included an all-female crew, has sparked significant backlash and is being widely criticized on social media for its perceived self-importance and lack of substance. Following the trip, Perry has faced mockery and negative attention, particularly after her emotional response upon returning to Earth. This controversy has coincided with disappointing ticket sales for her Lifetimes Tour, which kicked off in Mexico City amid poor attendance and the cancellation of some dates. Official seat maps reveal that many U.S. venues, including those in Houston, Minneapolis, and Denver, have large numbers of unsold seats, and insiders suggest that concerns about ticket sales existed even before the space mission. Industry experts and sources indicate that both Perry's public image and tour prospects have been negatively impacted by the spaceflight, with some Live Nation executives reportedly uncertain about how to handle the low demand. Despite Perry's efforts to address critics and stage a comeback, her tour continues to struggle in the wake of the Blue Origin fallout.
