Katy Perry kicked off the North American leg of her Lifetimes Tour at the Toyota Center in Houston on May 7. During the show, she clapped back at claims she "can't dance."

Katy Perry is a superstar at a crossroads. She has been mocked mercilessly for an 11-minute flight on a Blue Origin spaceship that ended with her kissing the ground. Her album "143" received universally negative reviews and failed to secure a chart liftoff.

For her fifth tour and first since her Las Vegas residency, Katy Perry is embracing technology. Or maybe battling it. Perry’s Lifetimes tour kicked off its U.S. leg at Houston’s Toyota Center May 7, after the first shows in Mexico in late April.
