What’s the deal with pop stars and their cosmic connections, am I right? Like, I understand why they feel connected to the universe on some spiritual level, but do the stars hold any sway over their set lists? Or is that a perk for concert-goers, cutting down on the guessing games of what songs they’ll play? Last week, Katy Perry, the queen of California Gurls and extraterrestrial anthems like “E.T.,” teased the set list for her newest endeavor, The Lifetimes Tour.
I mean, with her latest release, “Woman’s World,” it’s like she’s channeling some serious Capricorn energy—that discipline and drive to conquer the world! But she decided to use her tour to quite literally launch this new single into the stratosphere via a space rocket. A bold move, but I guess if you’re going to make a statement, make it from space. However, the set list reveal was a bit of a letdown for fans as the footage she broadcast was sadly underexposed, leaving us all staring at a blurry mass of what could’ve been.
But fear not, dear Katy Cats, for the set list has been set in stone now. Critics are saying it’s her best yet, even revisiting some classics like “Not Like The Movies” after a hiatus longer than Selena Gomez’s time on “Wizards of Waverly Place”. What can we expect from a concert that kicks off in Mexico City? Well, take a look for yourself:

Last week, Katy Perry teased the set list for her world tour aboard a space rocket – but the singer-turned-astronaut’s footage was too blurry for fans down on earth to read.
Now, the American popstar’s set list has finally been confirmed after her huge The Lifetimes Tour kicked off in Mexico on Wednesday night.
In case you missed it, the Firework hitmaker is on the road, with performances lined up in the UK, Ireland, Asia, and the United States. This is her fifth tour to date and marks her return to the stage after a seven-year hiatus.

But things haven’t exactly been smooth sailing, as the songstress was forced to cancel two shows in Mexico due to venue construction.
