According to People magazine, the ‘143’ album, which was released in September, did not get the reception she was expecting, and The Lifetimes Tour’s initial reviews were not good, causing Perry to get bothered and nervous about the music.

“Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album. It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension,” the source said, before adding, “She was also disappointed in some of the tour reviews. It's put stress on their relationship."

While the initial reviews were not up to the mark that Perry was expecting, it has not affected the international tour at all. The concert shows in Australia are completely sold out, in addition to the three nights in Mexico.

In February, the ‘Dark Horse’ singer became candid about the negative criticism she has been getting throughout the years. “You shouldn't read it when it's good. You shouldn't read it when it's bad," the 40-year-old singer said to People. “My therapist said something that really changed my life. What anybody thinks about you is none of your business. It's what you think about yourself,” she added.

Furthermore, Katy stated that creating the album was different this time, as she channelled her feminine energy after becoming a mother. “I really tapped into that feminine divine energy. The messages on it are celebratory. They're about love,” she added.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have been together for almost a decade. They got engaged in 2019 and then welcomed their daughter Daisy Dove in 2020.
