Katy Perry looks back on The Lifetime Show—from 91 shows across five continents to the technical chaos (and joy) of performing it live and what fans can expect from her tour film, 'The Lifetimes Tour Live From Paris.'In this Billboard News interview, Katy opens up about fans, hits, vocals, 'Teenage Dream' success 16 years later, and what her new music means now.
Katy talks about building a “dance party” tour, why concerts feel like a “third space,” the toughest stunt (“the ball”), and why she embraces imperfect live moments in an increasingly “automated” world. She also shares what it was like performing in Montreal with Justin Trudeau in attendance, and reflects on honoring Dolly Parton—calling her an “earth angel” and celebrating her legacy. Plus, Katy revisits the impact of Teenage Dream—“Everest”—and the mindset powering her latest songs, including “Burn” and “Band-Aids.”
