ABU DHABI: Katy Perry wrapped up her Lifetimes Tour in Abu Dhabi on Sunday as the finale of the four-day Formula One race weekend, celebrating McLaren’s championship win, which sealed their title earlier that day at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
The singer delivered a stellar show, performing some of her greatest hits, including “Teenage Dream,” “Firework,” and “Roar.” She also brought to the stage some of her new music from her latest album “143,” including “Woman’s World,” “Lifetimes,” and “Nirvana.”
She dedicated her emotional ballad “Unconditionally” to the audience, saying she would always love them unconditionally.

Perry’s show featured strong visuals and multiple set changes that incorporated flight elements, LED lights, and more. The theme of the show centered around her journey through an intergalactic dimension that Perry is tasked with saving.
The production of the show was impressive, featuring intricate light designs and long-form choreography as well as a live band. The singer had multiple set and costume changes, which kept the audience engaged and helped set the tone for each segment of the show.
One major letdown, however, was the lack of fireworks during her song “Firework.” Although fireworks were set off after Perry left the stage, I was expecting them to go off during the song. Instead, confetti showered the audience.
Perry’s show in Abu Dhabi comes as the top-selling artist makes international headlines for posting a picture on Instagram with Justin Trudeau, making her rumored relationship with the former Canadian prime minister official.
Perry posted a carousel of photos on Saturday, featuring herself and Trudeau posing cheek-to-cheek while visiting Japan as part of her world tour.
