Katy Perry had a memorable night in New York City on Monday as she celebrated the premiere of her upcoming documentary, Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour - Live from Paris, at the Tribeca Festival.

Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter on the red carpet, Perry discussed how the project differs from 2012's Katy Perry: Part of Me, which offered an intimate look at her personal life.

 This is so different than the documentary Part of Me. This is really a concert experience for my fans all over the world,  she said.  I got to go to 91 places around the world - or less, because I did a couple of shows in the same place. But I want to go to India, I want to go to the Philippines, I want to go to Indonesia. I want to go to other places in South Asia, I want to go to Africa, all those places. I couldn't economically bring my show there. And physically, I am a mother as well. So this is a chance for all of them to enjoy The Lifetimes. 

Directed by Paul Dugdale, the full-length concert film captures Perry's The Lifetimes tour, which supported the singer's sixth studio album, 143. Filmed in Paris in November 2025, the sci-fi-inspired production featured Perry singing upside down at times, riding a winged creature and performing many of her biggest hits.

The singer also reflected on the challenges she faced throughout the tour and what she believes has carried her through difficult moments.

 They might have forgotten my resilience,  Perry told THR.  I think I am very resilient despite the constant curveballs of my life. I move forward even if the dogs bark. 

During a post-screening Q A, Perry elaborated on that sentiment.

 Last year was probably one of the hardest years of my life, and I went through a fuck ton, and there were days that were really, really, really, really hard,  she said.  I just kept going, because I made a promise to my fans, I made a promise to my daughter, I made a promise to myself and I got through it. 

Though she did not mention specifics, 2025 saw Perry and Orlando Bloom end their engagement. Perry also faced backlash after joining other celebrities aboard Jeff Bezos' Blu
