Overview

• During the U.S. leg of her Lifetimes Tour in Houston, Katy Perry paused mid-performance of 'Thinking of You' to directly address viral TikTok videos mocking her vocal delivery.
• Perry exaggerated her enunciation of the song's lyrics before cutting herself off to declare, 'I don't sing like that,' in a moment captured by fans on social media.
• Responding to critiques of her dancing, she performed exaggerated moves, including one-legged jumping jacks, and told the audience, 'Show them this when they say I can't dance!'
• The singer continues to face criticism over her participation in an all-female Blue Origin spaceflight funded by Jeff Bezos, which has been labeled wasteful by public figures and brands.
• Her collaboration with producer Dr. Luke on her underperforming album '143' remains a point of contention, reigniting debates tied to his legal history with Kesha.
