Katy Perry is bringing her Lifetimes Tour to the US tonight, kicking off in Houston at the Toyota Center — and fans will get a chance to be a part of the interactive event.
At each show, audience members will be able to scan a QR code that leads to one of Perry’s seven studio albums, and they’ll get to vote on which deep-cut song they most want her to play. Each continent she performs at gets their own album to choose from.

She also plans on inviting fans onstage for more interactive fun. At her kick-off show in Mexico City last week, she even made a joke about her recent trip to space after she posed onstage with two fans in NASA-branded suits to take a selfie, noting, “I want these gentlemen to come on stage because they are dressed like my most current timeline.”

She’ll then take the show to Europe, before concluding with a stop in China and one final show in Abu Dhabi in early December.

“Couldn’t make it to the MET, I’m on The Lifetimes Tour (see you in Houston tomorrow IRL‼️),” Katy wrote on May 6 in the caption that accompanied photos.
