The Lifetimes Tour: Katy Perry & Rebecca Black - Anaheim, CA

On Sunday, July 13, 2025, Katy Perry brought her Lifetimes Tour to the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA. The tour began in April in Mexico, then made its way to Australia and is halfway through the US leg of the tour. Canada, the UK, and Europe are the next legs of the tour. Rebecca Black is supporting Katy on tour.

Rebecca Black hit the stage and got the crowd ready for the night. She performed songs from her new album, Salvation. She mentioned how it was her hometown show and that her first concert was at the Honda Center seeing the Cheetah Girls in 2007, and to be back opening for Katy Perry was such a surreal moment. She was the perfect person to open the show. Rebecca has such a great voice and awesome stage presence. She's a natural on stage.

The lights dimmed, and the intro began playing. It was set up like a video game, “The Game of Lifetimes," and it showed all of Katy’s albums. It then went into a news outlet saying "butterflies have been captured, and the world has become a disaster. A half-human, half-machine named KP143 was created to free the butterflies." The video game continued at the end of each act of her set. The stage opened up, and a bunch of wires rose to the ceiling and in the middle was this cylinder shape, which Katy came into the middle of. Fans immediately went wild when she came out on stage. She started singing “Artificial” while being suspended in the air. She performed songs from each of her albums. And even sang snippets of other songs that weren’t on the set list.

The majority of the fans dressed up in costumes related to her music videos and albums. It was fun to look around the crowd and see what each fan was dressed as; there were a bunch of left sharks, a couple of astronauts, and a lot of blue wigs. Katy was very interactive with her fans the entire night. At the end of one of her acts, there was a QR code displayed on the screen for fans to scan to help pick which deep cut song Katy sang. The most requested song was “The One That Got Away”. Before she sang “The One That Got Away,” she pulled a couple of dressed-up fans to the stage from random sections from around the venue. She gave each of them an egg shaker to shake during the song, and she had them follow her around the stage.

Her stage was in the shape of an infinity symbol, and she made sure to go around it often. For a good portion of the show, Katy was strapped to a harness and would fly around. There was not a bad view anywhere in the venue. During “I Kissed A Girl,” she was in this circular cage with her backup dancers doing acrobatics, raised in the air. She flipped herself upside down and started spinning. In “Nirvana,” there were a couple of huge flower petals around the stage, and she would fly to each of them. When she reached the other side of the stage, she did a bunch of backflips to get back to the center of the infinity. While singing “Roar,” Katy came out on a butterfly and flew around. I was very impressed watching Katy do all this while singing.

Everything about the show was amazing, Katy's performance, her voice, her energy, you can truly see how much Katy enjoys it. Which made the energy in the room infectious. There was not one person sitting down. Every fan was up, dancing, and singing the entire night. Don’t miss the chance to see Katy Perry on her Lifetimes Tour. It’s such a fun show and an incredible performance by Katy.
