Katy Perry Has Wardrobe Malfunction During Vegas Performance
Katy Perry suffered an X- rated wardrobe malfunction when her bra burst opened as she took to the stage in Las Vegas amid her Lifetimes Tour.…
Katy Perry has described herself as ‘a human pinata’ after she was repeatedly mocked online following her Blue Origin space flight organised by Jeff Bezos.
Her latest tour has also become the subject of endless memes with the pop singer appearing to put on a series of uncharacteristically downbeat performances.
And that appears to have been enough for the Firework singer to lambast her critics in an emotional rant which she wrote underneath a post by a fan group on Instagram.
Katy, 40, hit out at the internet as ‘a dumping ground for unhinged and unhealed’
She said: ‘Please know I am OK, I have done a lot [of] work around knowing who I am, what is real and what is important to me.
‘My therapist said something years ago that has been a gamechanger, “no one can make you believe something about yourself that you don’t already believe about yourself” and if I ever do have any feelings about it then it’s an opportunity to investigate the feeling underneath it.

‘When the ‘online’ world tries to make me a human piñata, I take it with grace and send them love, cause I know so many people are hurting in so many ways and the internet is very much so a dumping ground for unhinged and unhealed.
‘I can continue to remain true to myself, heart open and honest especially because of our bond.’
She added: ‘I’m not perfect, and I actually have omitted that word from my vocabulary, I’m on a human journey playing the game of life with an audience of many and sometimes I fall but I get back up and go on and continue to play the game and somehow through my battered and bruised adventure I keep looking to the light and in that light a new level unlocks.’
Katy was then criticised for her part in Bezos’s all-female Blue Origin space flight, during which she sung Louis Armstrong’s What a Wonderful World to her fellow passengers, and held up the setlist for her new tour to an in-flight camera.
The women were accused of being ‘tone deaf’ for taking part in such a fleeting and expensive trip at a time of economic struggle along with Gayle King and Bezos’ fiancee Lauren Sanchez.
One critic was British singer Lily Allen who said of the trip: ‘Do we want to talk about Katy Perry and her mates all going up to space for 12 minutes? I mean, what the f****** hell is that all about? But in all seriousness: What? Why?’
She added: ‘We’re on the brink of recession, people are really f****** struggling to make ends meet and get food on their table.’
Clips from her tour where she appears stilted have been posted on social media
‘She just looks tired and bored,’ one person noted on TikTok
‘It’s ok to retire, girl,’ another person said in a comment that has racked up over 50,000 likes
However, singer Lily Allen apologised this week for ‘being mean about Katy, saying that although she disagreed with the flight, there was no need to join the ‘pile on’ against the singer.
She said on her podcast ‘I would actually like to apologise for being mean about Katy Perry last week. There was actually no need for me to bring her name into it, and it was my own internalised misogyny.’
‘I’ve been thinking about it a lot and it was just completely unnecessary to pile on with her. And I disagree with what it was that they did but she wasn’t the only person that did it.’
Katy previously revealed the real reason for her recent underwhelming concert performance which was due to a voice problem.
In backstage footage from Mexico she posted to Instagram, Perry said she had been ‘struggling for the past few things with my voice, having a flu-cold thing.’
She is now facing blistering scrutiny on her new Lifetimes Tour, as she struggles to sell tickets for her U.S. dates which kick off in Houston, Texas, in two weeks time.
The singer was also criticised for her role in Jeff Bezos’ all-female Blue Origin space flight, which has proven to be controversial because of its cost and environmental impact.
As one of the passengers on the 11-minute excursion, Perry was especially derided for singing to fellow travelers during the journey and kissing the ground after they landed.
