Houston, we have liftoff. Just 10 days after making headlines for her trip to space, Katy Perry kicked off her highly anticipated Lifetimes Tour with a celestial show in Mexico City Wednesday (April 23) — featuring a setlist that the pop star first revealed while hurtling through the Earth’s atmosphere on Blue Origin’s first all-woman flight crew.
Weaving through tracks from both her most recent album, 2024’s 143, and smashes from albums past, Perry went on a career-encompassing journey while on stage at Arena CDMX, wearing a number of colorful, futuristic outfits. And, perhaps having gotten a taste for the feeling of zero gravity while on her space trip, the vocalist performed in multiple setups where she floated in the sky — from suspending herself from isolated wires to riding an airborne winged creature to levitating in a globelike structure.
But while much of the setlist was revealed by Perry in a video filmed while she was sharing a rocket with Gayle King, Lauren Sanchez and the rest of their fellow Blue Origin passengers, two songs at Wednesday’s show were chosen completely on the fly. The former American Idol judge introduced a “Choose Your Own Adventure” segment of the show that allowed fans to vote on which older tracks they wanted to hear — which, on opening night, included two beloved Teenage Dream cuts.
As Perry gears up to travel the world for the next seven months, countless fans will get to hear two dozen of her songs live. Keep reading to see the full setlist, as performed on night 1 in Mexico City, below.
