Overview

• On July 15 at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, Perry invited a timid Mexican fan on stage and prompted her to declare her heritage loudly and with pride.
• When the girl repeated “¡Soy de México!” more confidently, the audience erupted in applause and Perry posed for a commemorative photo with her.
• Social media users noted that the fan’s initial hesitation mirrored the climate of fear experienced by immigrant families in the face of intensified ICE operations.
• In June, Perry denounced California anti-immigrant raids on her Instagram Stories as “a profound injustice” to those who built Los Angeles.
• The interaction highlights Perry’s continued use of The Lifetimes Tour platform to advocate for Latino communities across North America.
