Katy Perry BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
In just the past few days Katy Perry has delivered the kind of high-wire spectacle and real-life drama that could fill an entire chapter of her biography. On July 18 at San Francisco’s Chase Center Perry narrowly avoided disaster when the mechanical butterfly she was riding on during Roar suddenly malfunctioned throwing her visibly off balance high above the stage. According to the San Francisco Chronicle the pop superstar clung to the rigging and regained her composure before defiantly telling the crowd not today Satan and finishing her set despite being shaken. Riff Magazine highlighted that technical glitches nearly derailed the entire event with fans locked out of the arena until just minutes before showtime—a testament to Perry’s insistence that canceling was not an option. Her Lifetimes Tour is Perry’s most ambitious yet featuring futuristic themes and elaborate choreography and is being billed as a celebration of past anthems and her willingness to keep pushing forward.
On July 21 Perry headlined Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena and then on July 22 played in Vancouver at Rogers Arena, where tickets are commanding premium prices and Canadian pop star Rebecca Black opened the show. Recent tour stops have enthralled massive crowds but also left Perry physically and emotionally drained. According to comments made to Variety and the #ShuterScoop podcast Perry is privately describing herself as overwhelmed by the tour’s pace and her personal life. In particular, her split from longtime partner Orlando Bloom earlier this month has been cited as a major source of stress. Rob Shuter’s sources say Perry is contemplating stepping out of the public eye permanently once this tour wraps in December, reportedly wanting peace and quiet after years in the spotlight—though this is unconfirmed and should be treated as speculation at this point.
Social media has been abuzz with videos and photos from the tour while also chronicling Perry’s recent ventures beyond music. She recently joined an all-female Blue Origin spaceflight crew for an 11-minute suborbital mission, though the event was met with a mix of applause and criticism on platforms like Instagram and Twitter. Meanwhile in the business sphere, Perry and Orlando Bloom have begun renting out their $15 million Montecito estate following the legal resolution of a years-long dispute with the property’s former owner as reported by People. Financial headlines such as those in IMDb and KoiMoi reiterate Perry’s far-reaching brand power—from major endorsement deals to her lucrative Las Vegas residency—but at the moment, the predominant news remains her electrifying stage performances, close-call mishaps, highly public breakup, and the question looming over what comes next for one of pop’s most bankable stars.
