KatyCats, rejoice! The queen of pop anthems, Katy Perry, is bringing her high-energy spectacle stateside. After setting stages ablaze across the globe, Perry has officially announced the U.S. leg of The Lifetimes Tour, kicking off in Houston, Texas, on May 7 at the Toyota Center. And yes, she’s making history with her first-ever performance in Oklahoma City on May 9. (Oklahoma fans, it’s your time to shine!)
This tour is Katy’s latest love letter to her fans, celebrating her brand-new album, 143, a dazzling collection of dance-pop bangers centered on—you guessed it—love. From “Teenage Dream” to “Never Really Over,” Katy promises to deliver a setlist that spans her iconic career, blending nostalgia with fresh beats. Whether you’re a day-one Perry fan or a new recruit, this is one tour you don’t want to miss.
A Whirlwind Global Journey
Katy’s Lifetimes Tour has already been a massive hit worldwide. The demand has been so high that additional shows were tacked on in Australia, Europe, and South America. (Seriously, five extra shows in Australia alone!) With sold-out arenas in Buenos Aires and limited tickets remaining for her stadium show in Chile, it’s clear Katy’s global fanbase can’t get enough.
Before she lands back in the U.S., she’ll be dazzling Canada with seven sold-out arena shows, proving that her magic knows no borders. And after wrapping up here, Katy heads to the UK and Europe to close out her whirlwind tour, where she’s already added multiple dates in cities like London and Paris. (Does she even sleep?)
