If you reside on this planet even part-time, you’ve heard of Katy Perry’s recent space sojourn. Alongside an all-female crew, the “Woman’s World” singer spent 10 minutes in the cosmos as part of Blue Origin’s NS-31 mission. Now she’s back just in time for her first tour in seven years. During her opening show in Mexico City, two fans caught the pop star’s eye with their space-themed gear.
Katy Perry Snaps Selfie With Fans in Space Gear
Kicking off the first of three shows in Mexico City, Katy Perry launched her Lifetimes Tour Wednesday (April 23) in support of her latest album, last year’s 143. Honoring her recent trek with various space-themed costumes, the “Dark Horse” singer was surprised to see she wasn’t the only one at Arena CDMX dressed for the occasion.

“You guys look so good,” gushed Perry, 40, to two fans sporting blue NASA suits. “You just got back from space!”
“Who wants to come onstage?” she continued. “I want these gentlemen to come on stage, because they are dressed like my most current timeline.”

And with that, Perry invited the giddy fans onstage for a selfie.
She will play 84 shows between the tour’s April 23 kickoff and its Dec. 7 conclusion in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
Perry Seemingly Claps Back at Critics
During the first night of her Lifetimes Tour, Katy Perry appeared to address those who have been critical of her trip to space.
Actually insane that Katy Perry went to space which has the same carbon footprint as someone’s entire lifetime in 11 minutes and came back and said “we have to take care of Mother Nature (earth) LIKE YEAH THE FIRST STEP IS NOT TAKING A ROUND TRIP TO SPACE?????

“Has anyone ever called your dreams crazy?” she asked the audience, according to the Daily Mail. The “Teenage Dream” hitmaker even recreated her time in space during the show, flying through the air at various points.
Of the trip into the stratosphere, Perry said she felt “super connected to life” and “so connected to love”.
