Katy Perry Warns Fans She’ll Try to ‘Hold My Composure’ for ‘Not Like the Movies’ Performance ‘a Week Before My Period’

Katy Perry Takes the Stage in Inglewood, California

Pop sensation Katy Perry recently took to the stage in Inglewood, California, as part of her Lifetimes Tour, captivating fans with her hit song “Not Like the Movies.” The singer, known for hits such as “Firework,” made a candid revelation to her audience, sharing that it was “a week before my period” during her performance.

Perry, who is currently navigating life post-breakup with actor Orlando Bloom, engaged with fans during the “Choose Your Own Adventure” segment of the show, where audiences could vote for the songs they wanted to hear. Despite the emotional significance of the track, Perry embraced the moment, exclaiming, “OK, we’ll do it! Because you voted for it.”

During the performance, Perry reflected on the origins of “Not Like the Movies,” sharing that she had penned the song in her 20s following her first divorce. With grace and vulnerability, she prepared fans for the heartfelt performance, jokingly warning them that she would “try and hold my composure while I sing it a week before my period.”

The singer’s show in California comes shortly after she attended the Balenciaga haute couture show and a rare family photo posted by Bloom, showcasing the pair with their young daughter, Daisy Dove. Perry’s tour is set to continue across North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and will culminate in Abu Dhabi on December 7.

In a recent interview before the commencement of her tour, Perry teased fans with the promise of both classic hits and new tracks. Describing the tour as a “celebration of a lot of the songs that people know,” she hinted at including some lesser-known gems for her dedicated followers to enjoy.

The “Dark Horse” singer shared her excitement for the tour, labelling it a “love-filled spectacle” that promises an immersive experience for concert-goers. With elaborate costume changes, vibrant acts, and energetic performances, Perry urged fans to come prepared to dance the night away during her Lifetimes Tour.

As Perry continues to enchant audiences worldwide, with a recent addition of a show in Shanghai due to high demand, fans eagerly anticipate what new surprises and heartfelt moments she will bring to each performance.
