The announcement, made on January 27, 2025, marks the latest leg of Perry's worldwide tour in support of her seventh studio album, 1432, released on September 20, 2024.

The Lifetimes Tour has been described by Perry as a "larger than life experience," serving as both a career retrospective and a showcase of her latest album. Fans can expect a mix of her greatest hits alongside new tracks from 1432. In a statement to Variety on January 27, Perry expressed her excitement:

"For over 17 years, [my fans and I have] grown up together. They have their own lives, they have kids, they have careers, they're fulfilling their dreams. So seeing them still coming out and responding to this... I didn't expect it, and I can't wait to give back to them."

The announcement has generated significant buzz online, with fans sharing their thoughts on Perry’s return to the U.S. stage. Reactions range from excitement about the upcoming tour to skepticism regarding its success. One Reddit user commented:

"Her first US tour in seven years. This will be a surefire success regardless of how bad the album did."

Others expressed their opinions on Perry's comeback announcement.

"I really thought she was going to abandon her homeland," another fan expressed.

"Honestly? I’ve always regretted not seeing her Teenage Dream tour, and since I know she’s going to perform some classics, I’d be down to see her tour," a Reddit user shared.

For many fans, the announcement brought a sense of nostalgia and excitement.

"She needed the DC gays to save her and really said lemme go to Baltimore," a fan commented.

"Say what you will about her, but she’s a hell of a performer. It’s really unfortunate her last album felt so … lacking, because she does have the ability to put out a phenomenal song when she applies herself," another fan remarked.

"I hope her flop era is real and not just online because I got to see Nicki at this Miami venue for $40 a few months ago bc she couldn’t sell it out, and it would be awesome to see Katy for that cheap!" another fan shared.
