While gearing up for the “Lifetimes” tour, Katy Perry reportedly sought Taylor Swift’s advice to make the tour successful. British tabloid The Sun reported that attending Swift’s “Eras” tour encouraged Perry to ramp up her upcoming 83-date tour. Per the report, the singer thus turned to Swift for support in production, design, and costume choices among other things. Swift responded accordingly with guidance, wishing her to “have a great tour,” as an insider told The Sun.
Taylor Swift wants Katy Perry to have a great tour, says an insider
After the success of Taylor Swift’s “Eras” tour, reports from The Sun stated that the Grammy-winning singer has come to the rescue of fellow pop icon Katy Perry. As Perry prepares for the upcoming Lifetimes tour in April, following her 7th studio album, 143, she has reportedly asked Swift for advice. The need for advice comes after the “Fireworks” singer has been facing struggles with ticket sales for the tour.
Per The Sun, Perry attended one of Swift’s shows in 2024, which ultimately inspired her to approach the “Willow” singer. An insider informed the tabloid of Perry’s confidence in Swift, stating “She knows she can count on her to give her some positive feedback.” Another insider claimed Perry has been taking all of Swift’s advice like a “sponge.”
The “Lifetimes” tour will commence seven years after Perry’s “Witness” tour, and the thirteen-time Grammy nominee seems determined to elevate her concerts. Moreover, an insider informed The Sun, “Taylor wants Katy to succeed and have a great tour, and enjoy her time while on the road, and Katy appreciates that.” This suggests Swift is not holding back in offering support to her friend and the “muse” that inspired her 1989 single “Bad Blood.”
The report of the two artists supporting each other has not come out of the blue. Taylor Swift and Katy Perry’s friendship goes a long way. The duo started as friends and infamously turned into “rivals” after their feud in 2014. This marked the beginning of a pop culture drama as the music icons released diss tracks seemingly against each other.
However, years later, Perry officially buried the hatchet by extending a literal olive branch with handwritten notes to Swift. In 2019, Swift’s “You Need to Calm Down” music video featured Perry, publicly displaying their reconciliation.
