“I’ll be singing a hybrid of songs; I feel a total responsibility to my audience to give them that sing-along feeling. But I will be introducing them to a few new ones, which I’m really excited about.” Perry promises fans performances of “California Gurls,” “Dark Horse,” “Firework” and “Roar.”
These bops will make for what she promises will be “a real fun dance party,” but the mom also wants fans to keep safety in mind: “Please wear sensible shoes and stay hydrated.”
From “143,” Perry plans to perform her collaboration with Doechii, “I’m His, He’s Mine,” “All the Love” and, of course, the tour namesake dance club single “Lifetimes.”
But Perry is allowing some flexibility with the set list: “I am open to submissions. I might be doing a poll on social media,” she teases.
Perry revealed there’s a “special section that we’ve carved out of the show that will change and alternate, and it will need feedback from fans.”
With the moving pieces in this “fan-tailored” portion of the show, Perry concedes, “I’ll have to be prepared, and I use a prompter.” With so many songs in her discography, it seems nothing will be off-limits.
“There will be some deep cuts that have never been played. So if you’re a true fan and you want to hear those deep cuts, those B sides, there’s going to be that moment, and it’s all in their hands,” she says.
“Yeah, some songs that have never seen the light of day live, we’ll finally have the opportunity (to play), which I’m really excited about because the real fans are going to be like, ‘Oh my God, this is it.’”

Katy Perry is excited to tour the world with her 4-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove
This year, Perry will add a new member to her touring crew: Daisy, her daughter with partner Orlando Bloom. Fans last saw Daisy make a brief cameo in 2023 during the last show of Perry’s “Play” residency in Las Vegas.
“She is so curious, and she’s such an extrovert. And she loves seeing Mommy happy. She loves seeing the shows,” Perry says. “I’m excited that I get to bring her around the world on my first world tour with her.”
She compares sharing music with her 4-year-old to the feeling of celebrating Christmas with a child: “Everything’s just brighter again. Everything tastes better, everything looks better, everything’s more fun because you see it through the eyes of a child.”
With Daisy, whom she credited for influencing the visual spectacle that was her Vegas residency, Perry says “a lot more play gets injected into (the show), and it’s not that serious.”
While traveling the globe, Perry will not only be responsible for entertaining arenas full of fans but also her preschool-age daughter. “I want submissions for where I should take her on days off,” she says, listing parks, children’s museums and water parks as places she’s seeking in each city.
“I’m going to show her the world.”
