Katy Perry confronts fan mid-concert over DM-ing her fiancé Orlando Bloom: ‘I said I'm his. Stay the f--- away'
Katy Perry's Lifetimes Tour has been raising more eyebrows than lighters — and not necessarily for the right reasons. From chaotic stage visuals to head-scratching fashion choices that feel pulled straight from a forgotten Y2K time capsule, fans and critics alike have been questioning what exactly is happening on Perry's latest run of shows. But things took an even stranger turn during her May 17 performance at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, where the singer jokingly called out a fan for allegedly messaging her fiancé, actor Orlando Bloom. While introducing her track I'm His, He's Mine, Perry paused mid-set to address a concertgoer with a smirk and a cheeky comment:'Cute grin. I know why you're here,' she said from the stage. The crowd, already stirred, erupted when another fan shouted, 'Get his ass!' Perry didn't hold back. 'Listen, if you keep DM'ing my man... Oh, Kyle? Yeah, I know. You've been doing it for months — ever since the (Play) residency started,' she added. The moment, which was caught on video and quickly made its way to social media, had the energy of a messy reality show cameo. As the fan appeared to hand something to Perry, the singer swatted away the gesture and delivered the night's most viral line: 'I don't want it. I'm his. I said I'm his. Stay the f--- away.' Perry, 39, and Bloom, 47, have been engaged since 2019 and share a daughter, Daisy Dove, born in 2020. While the couple has often gushed about each other in interviews, this very public confrontation suggests the singer isn't above drawing boundaries — even on stage. The comments on social media have a lot to say, as always. 'Girl, we be trying to like you, then you do this 🤦🏾♀️,' said one. Another comment claimed, 'Do they even sing at the concerts still.' One more comment was, 'Haha diva alert 🚨 love it lol.' Others picked up on the sarcasm involved, saying, 'Katy Perry has a sense of humour 🤣' and 'Lover her! She is so funny! And the way this was actually true while she was just introducing her song, I'm His, He's Mine song is so iconic and funny 😹.' The Lifetimes Tour, intended to be a celebration of Perry's legacy as a pop heavyweight, has so far missed the mark for many fans. Critics have described the visuals as chaotic and confusing, while some attendees feel that the performance seems disjointed. Still, Perry seems undeterred, pressing on with the tour's next stop at the Moody Centre in Austin on May 20. Whether or not this fan confrontation was a rehearsed bit, a real moment of jealousy, or simply Katy embracing a messier version of herself, one thing's clear: she's not afraid to make things personal. And maybe that's just going to be the most exciting part of the show.

‘Disaster': Katy Perry fails to shift tickets as numerous US tour dates remain empty
Katy Perry is facing a crisis over the US leg of her world tour after tickets have failed to sell. Perry, who recently sold out dates across Australia, has had less success in her homeland where numerous shows have barely sold. In Houston, the first American stop on her US leg that begins May 7, more than half of the city's Toyota Center amphitheatre have yet to sell. In Minneapolis, it's even worse: only one third of the 20,000 seats at the Twin Cities' Target Center have been filled — despite tickets starting at just $USD75. The situation is even worse at the Moody Centre in Austin on May 20, where the vast majority of tickets are still available. Perry's May dates in Minnesota, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Denver, Colorado also appear to show a large amount of tickets yet to be sold. It comes after the singer announced on her Instagram Stories on Monday that she was unable to perform at Arena Guadalajara in Mexico next month because the venue was 'not ready' to open to the public. 'Sadly, I learned that the construction of Arena Guadalajara will not be complete for their scheduled shows next week, which includes mine on May 1 and 2,' she began, before explaining the lengths she went to try and avoid the cancellation. 'I wish I could fix this but it is beyond my control. You guys mean the world to me and we have all been on such a beautiful journey together that I will be thinking about how I can create something special for the fans in Guadalajara in the future.' Perry has had one of the toughest years in show business following her much-maligned comeback, and her Blue Origin space flight has taken things from bad to worse. After numerous pictures and videos made the crew a laughing stock on social media, an insider has revealed that Perry has been left heartbroken and with numerous regrets. 'Katy doesn't regret going to space. It was life-changing. What she does regret is making a public spectacle out of it,' the insider told Daily Mail. Celebrities like Amy Schumer, Olivia Wilde, Emily Ratajkowski and Olivia Munn made their feelings on the space mission clear as they expressed their distaste.

Pop star Katy Perry struggles to sell tickets for her shows in several US states amid backlash over Blue Origin space flight
Pop star Katy Perry has struggled to sell tickets for her shows in several US states amid backlash over her Blue Origin space flight. Perry, 40, kicked off her global The Lifetimes Tour in Mexico City on Wednesday, before the I Kissed A Girl hitmaker is set to perform in Texas. However, official seat maps on Ticketmaster show rows of seats remain available at Perry's show in Texas on May 7, May 20, and May 21. More than half of the seats at the 19,000-person capacity Toyota Center in Houston remain available for May 7. The situation is even more dire at the Moody Centre in Austin on May 20, where almost all tickets are available at the venue's 16,223-person capacity. Seats at Perry's May 21 show at the American Airlines Centre in Dallas also remain largely empty at the 20,000-person capacity venue. The lowest-priced tickets at all three venues retail for about USD $59.50 (AUD $93.15), while the VIP packages cost upwards of $200. Perry's May dates in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Denver, Colorado also show swathes of seats are still available. The setback comes after Perry copped backlash when she safely returned to Earth last week from reaching space aboard Amazon founder Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin New Shepard rocket with an all-female crew. Perry said the 11-minute mission was for "the benefit of Earth", kissing the planet's ground when she exited the craft after landing. Despite the aerospace company's claim the "only byproduct of New Shepard's engine combustion is water vapour with no carbon emissions" during flight, University College London's Atmospheric Chemistry and Air Quality professor Eloise Marais said water vapour is a greenhouse gas that depletes the "ozone layer, and also forms clouds that affect climate". Actress and model Emily Ratajkowski said she was "literally disgusted" Perry's space travel had effectively undermined the pop star's own cause. "This is beyond parody. Saying that you care about Mother Earth, and you're going up in a spaceship that is built and paid for by a company that's single-handedly destroying the planet," Ratajkowski said on TikTok. On Friday, a Perry insider said her team was concerned about the success of her ticket sales even before the space flight. The insider said the Roar singer hoped to emulate the same success pop star Taylor Swift achieved with her record-breaking Eras world tour last year, but her chance was "pretty dismal". "There were already concerns about poor ticket sales even before Blue Origin," they told "They were pretty dismal. Katy truly believed her tour would take off like Taylor's. "Some higher-ups at Live Nation were sceptical from the beginning. There are talks about what to do if the venues don't fill up further." The development marks Perry's second major setback in her The Lifetimes Tour this week. She took to Instagram on Tuesday to announce that her shows in the western Mexico city of Guadalajara on May 1 and 2 had been cancelled due to incomplete construction at the host stadium. "Sadly, I learned that the construction of Arena Guadalajara will not be complete for their scheduled shows next week, which includes mine on May 1 and 2," she said. "Last week, I sent my team to the Arena to make sure there wasn't anything we could do to make this happen, but it was evident when they arrived that the venue was not ready or safe to receive my show or an audience. "I wish I could fix this, but it is beyond my control. You guys mean the world to me, and we have all been on such a beautiful journey together that I will be thinking about how I can create something special for the fans in Guadalajara in the future.
