Katy Perry BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

This week Katy Perry has been an absolute headline magnet with major news dropping on nearly all fronts. After a seven-year absence from UK stages, she made her much-anticipated return, kicking off her Lifetimes Tour with a packed show at Glasgow’s Ovo Hydro and a sold-out night scheduled for Birmingham’s Utilita Arena on October 11 according to AOL. The tour, already raking in a staggering 80 million dollars as reported by AOL Entertainment, is a clear sign Katy remains a box office darling despite what outlets are calling significant critical backlash following her recent studio album 143. At her live shows fans have flocked for the choose your own adventure segment where they get to select surprise songs via QR code—a nod to interactivity that keeps each night unique. Her Birmingham stop is so significant the local press is warning about traffic jams and surges on public transport just to accommodate the wave of Perry’s fans arriving by train and bus.

In a move that surprised even longtime fans, Perry briefly swapped her popstar title for astronaut this April, blasting off aboard Blue Origin’s historic suborbital flight with five other women. Upon landing, she was photographed kissing the ground, a gesture quickly picked up on social media accounts from Instagram influencers to entertainment Twitter feeds. The moment was widely shared and became a trending discussion, lauded as iconic by SpaceX founder Elon Musk on X, with fans spurring hashtags like KatyInSpace and GroundedQueen.

Businesswise, Perry’s financial empire is as muscular as ever. IMDb published a deep dive on her 2025 net worth, highlighting lucrative deals ranging from a successful fragrance line and fashion collaborations to ongoing royalties from her Las Vegas residency—all adding up to a projected long-term financial legacy. Just this week, new stories about her eye-popping 25 million dollar American Idol salary resurfaced, reminding the world she out-earned her Idol peer Carrie Underwood by a mile, as detailed by AOL.

Down under, Australians are bracing for her upcoming June 2025 Lifetimes Tour, but with disappointment in Adelaide after it was revealed that the city was left off the schedule—a snub picking up steam on TikTok and among disappointed South Aussie fans on threads. Meanwhile, Perry herself is set to perform at the AFL Grand Final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, a gig she described as pure excitement in issued statements. Among fan circles, critique of her latest album continues but the stadiums are selling out—suggesting her star power easily endures periodic critical chill. All this is leaving entertainment watchers and casual fans alike wondering what headline Katy will land next.
