In the United States, fans generated more than $264,000 for Perry’s Firework Foundation, which aims to empower children from underserved communities through arts initiatives. And in the United Kingdom, north of £81,000 ($109,000) was secured for the Music Venue Trust, the charitable organization that protects, secures and improves the country’s grassroots music venues.
Live Nation backed the U.S. and Canada legs of the tour, which officially launched April 23 in Mexico City, and wrapped up Dec. 7 in Abu Dhabi — a seven-and-a-half month jaunt.
Along the way, Perry stopped by 23 countries, including China, where she performed six shows. Those concerts in China — two in Hangzhou, three in Shanghai and one in Haikou — sold out one minute after going on sale, Perry’s reps tell Billboard.
The Lifetimes Tour was themed around Perry saving the world by rescuing a motif-heavy kaleidoscope of butterflies, which represented her various musical eras. With the finishing line in sight, Perry got new ink tied into the theme.
The tour came off the back of 143, which debuted and peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 in late September 2024, for her seventh top 10 album in the U.S.
On the music front, Perry’s most recent release is “Bandaids” from early November 2025, a ballad that explores the end of a longterm relationship. The single, her first single since splitting with Lord of the Rings actor Orlando Bloom, topped Billboard’s favorite new music poll following its release.
