A video of Perry moving bizarrely during a musical break in the show – with some rather exaggerated facial expressions – went viral recently. It prompted a wave of trolling towards the singer, not long after her controversial trip into space.

During another show on the tour in Houston, Perry made fun of the comments with some more strange dancing.
“Show them this when they say I can’t dance!” she said in the middle of a performance of her hit Last Friday Night (TGIF). Then, she burst into a silly dance routine that wasn’t far off a more musical version of a star jump.
What else has Perry said in response to social media backlash?
The singer responded more extensively to the trolling in a social media post recently.
“I love you guys and have grown up together with you and am so excited to see you all over the world this year! 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,” her post began.
“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.”

“When the “online” world tries to make me a human Piñata, I take it with grace and send them love, cause 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 added: “I know we are healing each other in a small way when I get to do that co l’m not perfect, and I actually have omitted that word from my vocabulary, l’m on a human journey playing the game of life with an audience of many and sometimes I fall but… I get back up and go on and continue to play the game and somehow through my battered and bruised adventure I keep looking to the light and in that light a new level UNLOCKS ♥️”
