Katy Perry is getting the last laugh following the intense criticism she’s received over her “Lifetimes” tour.
The pop star has already sold 1.1 million tickets and grossed more than $80 million in sales, according to her management.
The $80 million earned comes from ticket sales to her shows in the US, Canada and Australia, according to figures provided to Billboard. Perry played a total of 45 shows in the three countries.
The impressive amount doesn’t even include the “Teenage Dream” singer’s upcoming overseas stops in Latin America, Europe and China.
Perry’s rep didn’t immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Perry, 40, has faced a lot of criticism online for her “Lifetimes” tour, as well as her latest album, “143.” Critics roasted her space outfits and choreography during her performances, with one X user asking, “People are paying to see this?”
Another X user commented, “This looks more like somebody who’s come out of retirement after 30 years and trying to pull the same moves off they did when they were young and popular.”
She was also roasted in April for being a part of the all-female Blue Origin space flight alongside Gayle King, Lauren Sánchez, Aisha Bowe, Amanda Nguyen and Kerianne Flynn.
Critics lauded the trip as an out-of-touch waste of money, and celebrities like Emily Ratajkowski, Olivia Munn, Olivia Wilde and Jessica Chastain publicly slammed the excursion.
Perry responded to the hate she was receiving for both her tour and the Blue Origin space flight later that month, calling her haters “unhinged and unhealed.”
“Please know I am ok, I have done a lot work around knowing who I am, what is real and what is important to me,” she wrote in an Instagram comment on a fan page.
“My therapist said something years ago that has been a game changer, ‘no one can make you believe something about yourself that you don’t already believe about yourself’ and if I ever do have any feelings about it then it’s an opportunity to investigate the feeling underneath it,” she continued.
Perry noted that when the “‘online’ world tries to make [her] a human piñata,” she chooses to accept it with grace and sends her love.
“I know so many people are hurting in so many ways and the internet is very much so a dumping ground for unhinged and unhealed,” she wrote.
Perry’s financial accomplishment came amid a tough time in her personal life as she and Orlando Bloom confirmed their breakup in July after nine years together.
Additionally, the pop star’s apparent budding romance with Justin Trudeau has already “cooled off,” the Daily Mail reported earlier this month.
Sources claimed they took a step back due to their busy schedules and the former Prime Minister of Canada being turned off by all the publicity surrounding their dinner date in July.
