Spanning continents from Asia and Australia to Europe, North America, and South America, the tour kicked off on April 23, 2025, at Arena CDMX in Mexico City and concluded on December 7, 2025, at Etihad Park in Abu Dhabi. Highlights included lightning-fast sell-outs in China (multiple shows gone in under a minute), added dates due to overwhelming demand, and a bold, thematic production centered on Perry "saving the world" by rescuing butterflies symbolizing her musical eras.
Tour Highlights & Commercial Success
The Lifetimes Tour featured elaborate staging, high-tech visuals (including a massive flying butterfly and a 10-foot orb prop), aerial elements, and a setlist blending new tracks from 143 with timeless hits like “Roar,” “Firework,” “Teenage Dream,” and “California Gurls.” It drew massive crowds, with strong performances in key markets — North America alone contributed significantly, while Asia's instant sell-outs underscored Perry's global appeal.
