Katy Perry's tour faces cancellation due to low sales
Katy Perry may have to cancel some of her tour dates due to disappointing ticket sales. The singer is set to start her 83-concert Lifetimes tour in Mexico City on April 23, with the final show planned for November 11 in Madrid. As of last month, many tickets remain unsold. For example, 70 percent of seats were still available for her concert in Minneapolis on May 13, and 60 percent were left in Raleigh, North Carolina. An insider says the low demand is worrying, especially in some European cities like Prague and Budapest. Although fans are excited about the announcement of Rebecca Black as a supporting act, interest has not matched expectations. Source reports that Katy is disappointed and struggling to generate excitement comparable to other artists, like Taylor Swift. Katy has reportedly reached out to Taylor for advice to make her tour successful. Taylor is supportive and wants Katy to have a great experience on the road. Katy has faced backlash for working with controversial producer Dr. Luke on her recent single "Woman’s World." Critics, including actress Abigail Breslin, have questioned her decision given Dr. Luke's troubling history. In addition to tour difficulties, Katy's recent album "143" received mixed reviews from critics. Furthermore, she was previously investigated for potential environmental damage related to filming a music video in the Balearic Islands without proper permits. Katy Perry continues to navigate her comeback in the music industry, but the road has not been easy.
