Katy Perry’s hard work is finally paying off!
Since announcing her fifth concert tour, The Lifetimes, and beginning performances, the 40-year-old American singer-songwriter has faced intense criticism.
While some mocked her performances and choreography as “robotic,” “school talent show,” and “cringey,” others slammed them as “low-budget” and “cheap.”
However, the 143 singer paid no attention to the criticism and continued performing for her fans, and now, the phenomenal success of her smash hit tour is serving as a clear rebuttal to the haters.
On Sunday, August 31, Page Six reported that according to Perry’s management, the songstress has already sold 1.1 million concert tickets and generated over $80 million in sales.
As per the figures shared with Billboard, the eight-digit sum has been earned from ticket sales to her concerts in Canada, Australia, and the United States alone, with her upcoming overseas stops in Latin America, China, and Europe yet to come.
