Katy Perry announces support acts for UK and EU tour

Tove Styrke and Hailee Steinfeld are joining the run

Katy Perry has announced the Tove Styrke and Hailee Steinfeld are set to join her upcoming UK and European tour.

The ‘Witness’ tour kicks off in May, with a series of European dates leading into a UK run, which wraps up in late June.

Styrke, who appeared in  NME ‘s 100 essential new acts for 2018 , came third on Swedish Idol in 2009. Since then, she’s been honing her craft to perfection and winning hearts across Europe – namely her pan-European hit ‘Say My Name’ .

Steinfeld, meanwhile, made her name as an Oscar-nominated actress, before launching a pop career in the wake of her appearance in the  Pitch Perfect  series.

Katy Perry’s ‘Witness’ tour hits the following UK and European spots later this year.

23-May Germany Cologne LANXESS arena 24-May Belgium Antwerp Sportpaleis Antwerp 26-May Netherlands Amsterdam Ziggo Dome 29-May France Paris AccorHotels Arena 1-June Switzerland Zurich Hallenstadion 2-June Italy Bologna Unipol Arena 4-June Austria Vienna Wiener Stadthalle 6-June Germany Berlin Mercedes-Benz Arena 8-June Denmark Copenhagen Royal Arena 10-June Sweden Stockholm Ericsson Globe 14-June UK London The O2 18-June UK Birmingham Barclaycard Arena 19-June UK Sheffield Sheffield Arena 21-June UK Liverpool Echo Arena 22-June UK Manchester Manchester Arena 24-June UK Glasgow The SSE Hydro 25-June UK Newcastle Metro Radio Arena

Addressing the song’s controversial lyrics, Perry recently told  Glamour : “We’ve really changed, conversationally, in the past 10 years. We’ve come a long way. Bisexuality wasn’t as talked about back then, or any type of fluidity.”

“If I had to write that song again, I probably would make an edit on it,” she said. “Lyrically, it has a couple of stereotypes in it. Your mind changes so much in 10 years, and you grow so much. What’s true for you can evolve.”

Katy Perry planning tour of UK's 'nooks and crannies'

Katy Perry is planning to visit the "nooks and crannies" of the UK on a mammoth jaunt.

The 'Woman's World' singer is yet to announce her next tour in support of her upcoming album, '143', which lands on September 20, but she teased she plans to play all over, including Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, and Glasgow.

Speaking to Jordan North on Capital FM, she said: "I'm gonna go to all those spots too."

Jordan asked: "Oh yeah, upcoming tour?"

Katy replied: "Yeah right."

She said of her fans this side of the pond: "My UK fans are incredible."

The 39-year-old pop star - who has three-year-old daughter Daisy with fiancé Orlando Bloom, 47 - will release the second single from the LP, 'Lifetimes', next week, inspired by her conversations with her little girl.

She told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: “It is funny how sometimes you’re looking for your soulmate in a partner. It could be a dog, your mum, your best friend, your cat?.?.?.?but for me it came in the form of Daisy.

“I wrote Lifetimes about her. Every night, before we go to sleep, I say, ‘I love you’, and then I ask, ‘Will you find me in every lifetime?’ and she says, ‘Yes’.”

Meanwhile, Katy has said she is "owning [her] sexuality" with her new music.

After she faced a backlash over her comeback single 'Woman's World' and its accompanying raunchy music video, she insists she isn't worried about the criticism as she's happy to "celebrate" herself and her femininity.

According to the Daily Star newspaper, she told a French TV station: “I’m owning my sexuality. I am standing in it, and I feel really responsible. I don’t feel ashamed.

“I’m like, t*** out, and happy about it. My t*** give me life. I brought a child into this world, and she is alive because of them t******, so let’s celebrate them!”

Since bringing her daughter Daisy into the world with the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star Katy feels she has evolved as an artist.

She added: “My life has changed a lot. I have a daughter who is almost four. Becoming a mother made me feel like… I became even more of a woman."

The 'Teenage Dream' hitmaker promised her new album will make fans happy because she's retained so much of the sound that propelled her to success in the 2010s.

She said: “It’s dance-pop with so much energy—bright and sexy. It’s divided into three parts.

“One is more like ‘Dark Horse’. Another blends ‘Walking on Air’, ‘Never Really Over’, and ‘Teenage Dream’. And the other part is quintessentially me, like ‘Hot N Cold’ and ‘California Gurls’.”

'143' will be Katy's first album since 2020's 'Smile', which reached number five on the UK albums chart.

Taylor Swift Really Posed with Man in Swastika-Adorned Shirt?

The controversial image was captured in 2009, when the musician was 19., nikki dobrin, published aug. 20, 2024.

About this rating

In mid-August 2024, a Portuguese-language X account posted a photo purportedly showing musician Taylor Swift standing next to a man wearing a shirt with a Nazi swastika painted on it.

The post had amassed more than 3.3 million views as of this writing and was captioned: "I won't even elaborate on this one lol."

Online platforms and other social media users also shared the image in 2023 and 2024, with some claiming the picture was taken during Katy Perry's 25th birthday party in West Hollywood in October 2009.

(@billiekdela/X)

Some X users questioned the veracity of the photo, while others suggested it may have been created using photo editing software .

The image, which was also shared on Reddit , sparked controversy for, and accusations against, the pop star, who was 19 when it was taken, prompting concerns about her association with symbols of hate and bigotry.

Based on available evidence, we found the picture to be genuine.

According to reports, Perry's Willy Wonka-themed birthday celebration took a surprising turn when guests engaged in a painting activity turned their white attire into colorful canvases. Amid the paint-splattered chaos, Swift was photographed with an attendee, identified by multiple outlets as model AJ English , who was sporting a swastika symbol painted on his shirt.

Despite the outcry on social media and news coverage surrounding the image, Swift's spokesperson reiterated that her client did not know the male model personally, was unaware of the symbol on his shirt at the time the photo was taken, and that she had taken numerous pictures with attendees throughout the evening.

Swift's rep told TMZ in 2009: "Taylor took pictures with about 100 people that night … she doesn't know who this guy is and she didn't realize what was on his shirt."

The party's theme, reportedly inspired by "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," featured guests dressed in white attire, which they later embellished with neon paint. Per the Daily Mail , English, the individual wearing the shirt, explained that the symbol was initially intended to be an "X" but was altered during the course of the celebrations. He also clarified that he did not endorse nor support the Nazi agenda and issued an apology to Swift for the unintended controversy.

According to the Daily Mail, English posted on his X (then Twitter) account: "Front page of TMZ.... sorry Taylor."

While concerns also arose regarding the letters "JH" painted on Swift's dress that night, with some speculating it stood for "Jew Hater," multiple reports said the initials were in reference to Swift's close friend, dancer and actress Julianne Hough, who was seen exiting the party that night with the letters "TS" daubed on her white pants, likely in reference to Swift's initials.

Snopes has previously reported on controversies surrounding Swift, including rumors that she performed witchcraft while on stage during her "Eras" concert tour, as well as allegations that she " supports abortion ."

The highs and lows of watching Katy Perry live

How do you put on a world tour for an album that, essentially, flopped? It’s a question that Katy Perry will have asked herself when she was piecing together her latest show, which descended on London’s O2 last night, and in which she kind of figured out an answer: as a popstar, you need to remember where you came from.

Not that Perry should, four albums into her career, necessarily have to pull the nostalgia card. But if the pop market of yesteryear was fickle, today’s is positively aloof. Perry’s ascension to the pantheon of pop’s biggest hitters was swift; from the inception of her debut single “I Kissed a Girl” she was practically unstoppable.

Now streaming has widened the gap for artists, providing disposable pop at the expense of career artists. It makes the quick diminishment of her musical pulling power disconcerting. To call Perry’s last album, Witness , "bad" would do its finer moments a disservice. But in comparison to 2010’s Teenage Dream , quite literally the perfect pop record, and even 2013’s slightly lacklustre Prism (which still spawned a single, “Dark Horse”, with 2 billion views on YouTube), Witness was a directionless meander of a record, confused both sonically and thematically.

It’s a task, then, to put together a live show that you’re proud of that doesn’t also stink of: “Oh dear, I fucked that last one up.” And it’s a balance that, with her Witness world tour, Perry just manages to strike.

Opening with two songs from the record, “Witness” and “Roulette”, two of the album’s highlights, Perry’s delivery is almost militant; she marches through the stark choreography with detachedly cool precision. Dressed in a sparkling red hooded half-catsuit, half-dress, she expertly manoeuvres herself around the stage props — two ginormous dice that seem to sprout dancers from their pips. Segueing into “Dark Horse” she’s slick but disengaged from the audience; she’s not necessarily going through the motions but unwilling to lean into the excitement of the crowd.

This all changes, though, when, dressed in a white suit, she embarks on a six-song sprint of past hits. “Teenage Dream” sounds as effervescent and wistful as the first time you heard it, a true masterpiece of pop songwriting. Likewise, flanked by giant puppet flamingos for “Hot N Cold”, a small refrain of “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F)” and a Prince-style rework of “California Gurls”, Perry proves her pop prowess. She becomes as vivid as the material, stalking around a huge stage, standing prominently and distinctively against the Big Brother -style eye that has symbolised this era. A supped up version of “I Kissed A Girl” also hits the mark, but it’s here that it starts to tail off.

Perry, now overly nostalgic, brings out Left Shark, the meme-making star of her 2015 Super Bowl halftime show . The segment, filled with gaffs and lolz, drags on, spoiling the smooth burst of pop perfection. Following this, she ventures into Witness territory performing best-forgotten deep cuts like “Déjà Vu” and “Tsunami”. At this point, the crowd lose interest, too. Despite the intricate staging — Perry somehow pole dances on a giant-stemmed rose — the crowd either sit down or empty out, heading for the nearest bar. It’s a noticeable shift, empty pockets forming all around the O2.

The divisive “Bon Appétit” is a song that comes alive during a show. The French-house flecked production is arena worthy, filling the vast corners of the O2. The staging, too, is unexpected, Perry rotating between a symbolically Sapphic Venus flytrap and a what appears to be a piece of lettuce made out of glass.

She then launches into the night’s only ballad, which again breaks the flow of the otherwise high energy spectacle. And that’s what the Witness world tour is, a spectacle. It makes decisions like having Perry stationary during “Power”, one of Witness ’s stronger cuts, bizarre, especially considering the pulsing electricity of that song. Perry delivers a stellar vocal performance, sure, but it feels almost redundant thanks to the staging.

Similarly, “Swish Swish” becomes a moment for crowd interaction as she invites a man on stage to play basketball with her. It feels disingenuous next to the steely pop detachment that Perry exhibited at the beginning of the show, which has now slipped into cartoonish soundbites in a faux-British accent about going down the pub and Heinz baked beans.

For the final three songs, she takes her time. “Roar” becomes as anthemic as you’d want, Perry, decked out in blue PVC, humming with energy as a large inflatable lion emerges from the pupil of her giant eye backdrop. For her encore, Perry flies through the air on a giant clock to the forgettable “Pendulum”, before she embarks on “Firework”, a self-help banger with real heart, before landing on top of a giant inflatable hand, which closes around her at the song’s conclusion.

What’s so jarring about the Witness world tour is that it has all the components of a thrilling and entertaining pop show. Vocally, Perry is the best that she’s ever sounded, and she hits her marks with exactitude. It’s let down by the empty material from her last album, some questionable song choices and pacing issues.

Despite all of that, though, Perry still proves herself to be a magnetic and enthralling performer, way better than TV appearances and pop critics give her credit for. She’s distinctive, able to pull attention despite the sensory overload of props, lights and computer-animated backdrops. And when she herself is feeling the material — like during the splendid six-song bangerthon — she’s almost lifted from the ground, gliding like an artist in the midst of their imperial phase.

It’s a promising sign for the future. You can feel Perry’s own ambivalence towards her last album; she knows it could have been better. Whether Witness was a crisis of artistic identity or rushed to fulfil expectations, for a career artist like Perry it’s a part of pop’s narrative — you can’t have the highs without the lows. Aside from its pacing problems and slippery song choices, the Witness world tour is a reminder that Perry is a great pop star because of her rough-and-ready voice, her candid songwriting and her determination. All of that, thankfully, remains intact; it’s a sign that Perry could well grasp greatness again.

KATY Perry is ready to bring her pop perfection back to the masses next year.

We have been told the chart-topper has been hard at work on her seventh studio album — her first since 2020’s Smile — and has almost completed the project.

In even more exciting news she is planning to tour the UK again after a break of six years.

She has spent the past two years performing a hit residency in Las Vegas and is now ready to get back out to the rest of the world.

A music insider said: “Katy has been working on her most personal album ever for much of the past two years.

“She has been doing it on her own terms and it is quite different from anything she has released before.

“But after so long spent on the West Coast of the US , she feels ready to tour again.

“The demand is there because she has so many hits, so taking her show on the road is bound to be a big draw.

“The hope is that she can head out towards the end of 2024, but it is still being worked out.”

She said in 2019 that she had grown tired of flying around the world .

But in May this year she said: “I still love making music. I still love spreading light and love.

“I know there’s a lot of people who couldn’t make it to Vegas.

“The last time I was on tour was in 2018. I’m due to go out and see the kids that couldn’t make it to Vegas.”

Place of love

Earlier this year Katy, who performed at King Charles’ Coronation concert , also hinted at the subject of her new music — her daughter Daisy with fiance Orlando Bloom .

She explained: “I haven’t put any new material out since my darling Daisy.

“I think I’m writing a lot and have written a lot from a place of love because I’m feeling so much of it — so much unconditional love, that love you never knew existed.”

With 15 Top Ten singles, including No1 hits I Kissed A Girl, Roar and California Gurls, Katy is one of the most colourful, vivacious and fun pop stars of the 21st century.

Getting her back on stage here, along with new music, will be a real treat.

SOPHIE Ellis-Bextor has signed up to headline an intimate one-off concert to highlight the loneliness which disabled people can experience.

The Murder On The Dancefloor singer will perform at the Stop The Shadows night at London’s Hard Rock Cafe on January 23, which will be hosted by Men Behaving Badly actor Neil Morrissey.

The event, organised by Able2UK, will also feature a performance from The Kooks’ Luke Pritchard as well as interviews with comedian Josh Widdicombe and music legend Tony Christie.

Claire’s cheeky secrets

CLAIRE Richards has admitted she spends a fortune on skincare treatments to stay young – and it’s clearly working.

The Steps singer , who released second solo album Euphoria this year, is so eager to look youthful that she says she feels like Goldie Hawn and Meryl Streep’s characters in 1992 comedy horror flick Death Becomes Her, where they drink a cursed magic potion that promises eternal youth.

She said: “The one thing that I spend money on is treatments on my face because I don’t want to get old.

“I’m going to be drinking that Death Becomes Her potion if I can get my hands on it.

“I have HydraFacials once a month and I’ve had this thing called Profhilo, which plumps up your skin .”

But the most extreme measure that she has resorted to so far is a microneedling treatment which is believed to stimulate collagen – and costs more than £500 a time.

Claire said of it: “I’ve had Morpheus8. It hurts but it’s worth it.”

He said wife Izzy looked after their kids while they were on tour.

He added: “They set up a stage from our studio. Tom’s boys and my son, they’re totally taken by it.

“They see us on stage and my son is six and knows all the different guitars, which are used for which songs, who plays what guitar part…

“Izzy’s family is very musical so I think his talent comes from them. He’s properly playing, it’s incredible, so exciting.”

Taylor Swift, Katy Perry reunite at Eras Tour years after feud: 'Got to see an old friend'

The pop stars posed for a sweet photo in Australia, years after fans speculated that Perry's "Swish Swish" single took swipes at Swift.

Taylor Swift and Katy Perry 's friendship will stick around for more than a minute , so get used to it.

The pop stars — who notably feuded for years following the release of Swift's "Bad Blood," which Perry famously interpreted as being about her — reunited this week in Australia, where Swift performed a stop on her ongoing Eras Tour .

"Got to see an old friend shine tonight," Perry wrote Friday on Instagram , along with a photo of herself smiling next to Swift.

Perry also shared photos of herself enjoying the show with fellow pop star Rita Ora , who attended the Eras Tour's Australian performance with her Oscar-winning husband, Taika Waititi .

Katy Perry/Instagram

The sweet photo of Perry — who recently announced her exit from American Idol — and Swift came years after the duo ended their feud, which also included Perry's 2017 single "Swish Swish," which many interpreted as a response to the lyrics of "Bad Blood."

"Honestly, it's really like she started it and it's time for her to finish it," Perry previously told James Corden of the fight that reportedly stemmed over the use of backup dancers. "It was a full shutdown and then she writes a song about me, and I'm like, 'Okay, cool, cool, cool, that's how you want to deal with it? Karma!'"

The pair made headlines in 2019 after Perry made a surprise cameo in Swift's "You Need to Calm Down" music video , seemingly putting an end to their public squabble.

Also that year, Swift addressed their relationship in an interview with U.K. radio program   Capital Breakfast .

“[Perry] sent me a really nice note and an olive branch — like, an actual olive branch — to my tour when it started, the Reputation Stadium Tour, a while ago,” Swift said at the time. “From that point on, we’ve been on good terms."

Katy Perry's Comeback Is Dealt Another Blow As New Video Sparks Environmental Investigation

It’s fair to say that Katy Perry’s return to the pop scene hasn’t been without its hiccups.

First, there was her comeback single Woman’s World, which immediately drew criticism due to its “regressive” and “dated” lyrics , as well as her choice of producer .

Katy even released a behind-the-scenes clip in which she insisted that the track’s accompanying video was intended as “satire”, presumably pre-empting backlash to the clip, while the song itself wound up missing the top 40 completely on both sides of the Atlantic.

Last week, Katy unveiled the follow-up Lifetimes, which serves as the second single from her upcoming seventh album 143.

However, the environment department of the Balearic Islands is now claiming that Katy and the production company behind the Lifetimes video didn’t seek the proper permission to film in the locations of Ibiza where it was shot.

As a result, they said in a press release , an investigation has been launched to determine whether Katy and her film crew caused any environmental damage to the protected dunes of S’Espalmador.

However, it’s worth pointing out that any damage would not constitute a “crime against the environment” as permission to film in the dunes can be sought from the proper authorities.

HuffPost UK has contacted Katy Perry’s representatives for comment.

Katy’s latest album 143 (named after the Grammy nominee’s so-called “angel number”) is slated for her release next month.

The collection is the chart-topping singer’s first since 2020’s Smile, which was released two days after the birth of her daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom.

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

Katy Perry’s label responds after trouble with Spanish government over damaged sand dunes

Share this with

Katy Perry ’s label has said they received approval to film the Lifetimes music video in Spain after an investigation by the local government was launched.

The environment department of the Balearic regional government said in a press release the production company had not sought permission to film in the Balearic Islands.

It said it released the necessary permits were not obtained when they started a probe into whether the shoot caused environmental damage to the protected dunes of the islet of S’Espalmador.

However, a label spokesperson told Metro.co.uk they had verbal and written authority to film and insisted they had ‘utmost respect’ for the natural environment and ‘officials tasked with protecting it.’

They said: ‘The local video production company assured us that all necessary permits for the video were secured. 

‘We have since learned that one permit was in process, although we were given verbal authority to go ahead.

‘Our local crew on July 22 applied for a permit for this specific location with the Directorate-General For Coasts And Coastline.

‘Our crew received verbal approval on July 26 to proceed with the filming on July 27.

‘We adhered to all regulations associated with filming in this area and have the utmost respect for this location and the officials tasked with protecting it.’

The California Girl, 39, shot the Lifetimes video in various locations in Ibiza and Formentera earlier this year.Sticking to the Spanish theme, she was also spotted filming another music video in Barcelona last month.

The Lifetimes video follows Katy as she boards a ferry wearing T-shirt reading Eurotrash to a Spanish island where she dances around in a leopard print bikini on a beach and heads to a local club.

Katy and her team will likely be hoping the song will revive her music comeback after her last single Woman’s World and its accompanying video were widely derided.

Its reception was so poor a source claimed to the Daily Mail the Roar singer was ‘freaking out’ and was holding crisis talks to ‘go back to the drawing board’ in a bid to save her career.

The video for Woman’s World was accused of playing into the male gaze as it centred on a series of shots of scantily clad women, including close-ups of their chests, doing traditionally masculine jobs.

It was slammed by critics and viewers alike, with the most-liked comment on the video’s official YouTube listing from @bruno3, who said: ‘This is what a feminist video clip would look like if made by a guy.’

@ginergreek branded it ‘feminism if it was written by AI’, while @BB_writes said they genuinely believed it was a ‘Saturday Night Live parody.’

The intensity of the backlash meant Katy was later forced to claim on social media that it was ‘satire.’

The collective repulsion to the video followed an avalanche of criticism directed at the single, which features lyrics including: ‘Sexy, confident So intelligent/ She is heaven-sent/ So soft, so strong.’

The Guardian ’s reviewer gave it one star and said: ‘I felt stupider every sorry time I listened to it.’  Dazed  said: ‘Woman’s World feels about as empowering as an advert for Vagisil.’

Many TikTok accounts said the lyrics to Woman’s World resembled songs they serenaded their cats with.

Fans also struggled to comprehend Katy’s decision to collaborate  Dr. Luke  on her new music ostensibly about feminism – a producer who was accused of  sexually abusing popstar Kesha  for years.

Woman’s World failed to set the charts alight debuting at a disappointing number 63 on the US Chart and 47 in the UK.

Woman’s World is the first single from her seventh studio album 143, which will be released on September 20, a month before her 40th birthday.

Katy has had five number one singles in the UK with tracks including I Kissed A Girl, California Gurls and Roar, as well as two number one albums with Teenage Dream in 2010 and Prism in 2013.

Her last album, Smile, was released in 2020, and went to number five in the UK albums chart in the same month Katy gave birth to daughter Daisy Dove, with her partner, Lord Of The Rings actor Orlando.

Metro.co.uk has contacted Katy’s rep and production company We Own The City through their website for comment.

Recent tour reviews

I saw Katy in concert for the Witness world tour for my birthday. It would be a lie to say I wasn’t completely blow away. I’ve been a fan since 2014 but fell out of interest for a little while. After seeing Witness in concert though I was immediately hooked on again.

Katy keeps your attention and makes your experience about more than music. She makes even people who aren’t fans have a great time and enjoy themselves. My cousin went with me and doesn’t even like Katy yet she was dancing and singing along.

It was a rewarding experience and definitely worth your money! From the lights, to the music, to the stage, to the effects, to dancers, to just Katy herself everything was on point.

Over all I can’t wait to seeing her again!

Report as inappropriate

Two words: SO AWESOME. The lights, the outfits, the love. She came on stage with a sparkly red outfit and came out of an eyeball. She sang some songs in the outfit like Chained to the rhythm and Dark Horse. Then she sang a lot of throwback songs all at once, she sang hot n cold (with a bra that changed from hot to cold) , California Gurls, Last Friday night, E.T, teenage dream, and I kissed a girl. Then she got a huge almost desert setup, I even think there was a stripper pole for Bom appetit. Then she was flying on a planet while in a sparkly white outfit. She sang wide awake, power, thinking of you, and she invited a fan onstage. It was cute. Then she got in a blue outfit and sang Swish Swish, hey hey hey, and roar. Then she went off stage. Then came back for the encore, which was a slower version of Firework. Definitely recommend seeing her live.

The concert was a disappointment.

Having purposely flown over to singapore to see her, leaving my toddler and baby behind with my parents in the hotel, we were expecting an entertaining performance based on reviews on her tour. However, It has proven otherwise.

Felt that her effort wasn't there and that there's not much stage presence. Keeps disappearing behind stage for her attire etc.. We don't get to see her enough on stage. She didn't really captivate the crowd and seems like she's only doing the concert for the sake of doing it only. The singing was pre-recorded at some parts - dancing was not energetic.

The part where a fan was invited to stage was pretty interesting. That made everyone smiled. Wish she could have done more like that - connect with the crowd with her singing. Thought the prismatic effect was very cool. Aside from that, this is by far the most boring concert we've been to :(
