The backlash began after her 11-minute flight with an all-female crew, during which she performed Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" and showcased her upcoming tour setlist to an in-flight camera. Critics deemed her participation in such an extravagant trip tone-deaf given current economic challenges.

Yet, in a display of solidarity, a group of devoted fans erected a digital billboard in Times Square to express unwavering support for Perry ahead of her world tour. A Brazilian fan account revealed that the gesture aimed to remind her of their "boundless" love. In response, Perry thanked her fans, expressing gratitude for their consistent presence on her "beautiful and wild journey."

While reflecting on the recent criticism, Perry emphasized the importance of understanding and healing, acknowledging the tumultuous nature of the internet where many share their pain. Despite the harshness of online feedback, she maintains a hopeful outlook, stating, "Through my battered and bruised adventure, I keep looking to the light."

Perry's world tour, which will span from the US to Europe and the UAE, marks a new chapter in her career. As she prepares to engage with her fans through music, Perry remains optimistic about the enduring connection she shares with her audience, looking forward to their reunion at her performances.
