Katy Perry has called her new concert film a gift to the fans who have supported her throughout her career, premiering the project at the Tribeca Festival in New York City on Monday, June 8.
Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour – Live from Paris captures the pop star performing at the Accor Arena in Paris in November 2025 during her fifth concert tour in support of her 2024 album 143.
The world tour was launched in Mexico City in April 2025 and ran through December, with several sold-out shows along the way.
speaks to PEOPLE at the BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center, Perry, 41, was clear about who the film is for.
“I do all this for my fans because they are the ones who have helped me all these years, for over 18 years,” she said.
She distinguished between this release and her 2012 documentary concert film A part of mewho describes the new project as a pure concert experience rather than a personal portrait.
“It was more of a documentary about my life and this is really a concert experience at the highest level for my fans. The energy was so incredible in there and I think it’s going to ooze out of the screens.”
Perry was equally candid about the responsibility she feels to her audience.
“I know they work so hard to pay for these tickets and they travel around. There’s food, there’s hotels, there’s buses. I mean, there’s all kinds of expenses. And their money’s valuable, and I want to give them their money’s worth every time,” she said.
She also spoke warmly of the trust that has built between her and her fan base over nearly two decades.
“It seems like every single show that I create, I’m just always challenging myself, pushing myself. And I’m just trying to give the fans what they deserve. I think we have a really wonderful relationship where they trust me and I trust them.”
The setlist drew across her discography, with surprise fan-selected songs also featured throughout.
