Not everyone thinks Katy Perry is out of this world.
Footage of the pop star robotically dancing on the opening night of her “Lifetimes” tour in Mexico City on Wednesday has gone viral on social media, where fans mercilessly roasted the cringeworthy choreography.
In a minute-long clip shared on TikTok, Perry backed up to the audience to shake her rear end, cheekily lay on the stage to raise one leg in the air and listlessly performed what appeared to be robot-inspired moves to her song “Part of Me” in a space-age cone bra and thigh-high boots.
“People are paying to see this?” an X user complained.
“so shockingly bad,” another lamented.
“This clip is not impressive. This looks more like somebody who’s come out of retirement after 30 years and trying to pull the same moves off they did when they were young and popular,” a third X user wrote in part.
The ruthless comments were all over TikTok, too, with one person writing, “This is the worst choreography I’ve ever seen in my life.”
Another quipped, “it’s giving school talent show,” while another comment read, “This looks like an SNL skit.”
One more commenter observed, “She’s struggling. No energy here. Hope she finds her groove.”
Some fans couldn’t resist referencing Perry’s Blue Origin flight as part of an all-women crew on April 14.
“Guess those 11 mins she spent in space could have been better spent on choreography,” commented a TikTok user, to which an X user agreed, “too much space travel. She’s not used to being back on the ground.”
The singer, 40, directly addressed backlash she received for her space jaunt by reportedly asking onstage Wednesday, “Has anyone ever called your dreams crazy?”
She also flew over the stage, wore spacesuit-inspired costumes and posed for selfies with fans pointedly dressed up in blue NASA space suits.
Page Six reached out to “Lifetimes” tour choreographer Kaylie Yee and creative direction company Squared Division for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
While many people mocked the former “American Idol” judge, some fans rushed to her defense.
“Y’all don’t understand Katy is weird like this and always has been,” one wrote on X, with another writing, “she’s having fun leave the woman alone.”
