Katy Perry's visit to Mexico was surrounded by controversy, not only for her appearance on the show "Venga la Alegría", but also for a video where a man kissed her without her consent, going viral.
In order to promote her world tour "The Lifetimes Tour", which includes three dates in Mexico, Katy Perry attended the morning show "Venga la Alegría". During her participation, the singer expressed her displeasure at the tribute from the hosts, who wore outfits inspired by her and sang her songs. Her reaction upon learning about other activities to be done on the show also generated mockery online.
As a globally important celebrity, Katy Perry could not avoid encountering her Mexican fans who asked her for photos and autographs. In one encounter, a man approached the singer intending to interact and blew her a kiss. Although Katy Perry turned her face, the kiss impacted near her ear, triggering the annoyance of internet users.
Reactions online condemned the harassment from the man who was wearing the uniform of a local taco shop, "Tacos Atarantados", where Katy Perry had previously eaten. Comments called the act unpleasant and regrettable, expressing solidarity with the artist in the face of the invasion of her personal space.
