A simple tweet announcing her upcoming ‘The Lifetimes Tour’ turned the internet upside-down. Accompanied by a butterfly and an infinity emoji, Perry uttered it; her fans sank deep into excitement, confusion, and—of course—song requests.

The dreamlike picture of Perry attached to the tweet garnered all sorts of replies. Some were supportive: Salma just said: ‘Congratulations! Have an awesome tour!’ Others were mixed with requests: ‘Please add Never Really Over,’ one said, while another added the succinctly desperate: ‘Add Cry About It Later or I’ll sell my ticket.’ The desperation, ya know?
And then there are the… less pleasant comments. We had one person saying, ‘why were you calling me after I took a loan from u?’ Ma’am, this is a Wendy’s. Another one alleged that Perry pretended to go to space just to build hype for the meantime—honestly, not the worst conspiracy theory we’ve ever heard.
International fan bases are also demanding songs in Portuguese and Spanish. One fan was telling Perry to add ‘Unconditionally’ while another asked where ‘The One That Got Away’ and ‘Never Really Over’ are hiding. The downside of being a world-famous superstar: Everybody wants their favorite songs, and they want it now!
Not everyone was on the hype train though; one user asked Perry to ‘(Please) undo the last album,’ while another took that chance to preach, ‘Jesus can change your life.’ Perry hasn’t said a thing about all this massacre.
Amidst the chaos, there existed a royal number of fans who were just happy to finally see her live. One proclaimed, ‘So excited! Can’t wait to see you light up the stage!’ while another boldly said, ‘It’s going to be an amazing show.’ And quite frankly? They probably are.
If the replies to that tweet are anything to go by, we’re a week away from the chaotic manifestation of this tour. Perry listening to her fanbase’s demands-for-now-is very up in the air; what is certain, though-is that people are talking. And that, with the pop industry, is half the battle.
