Katy Perry‘s new concert documentary, Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour — Live From Paris, is billed as a film strictly “for the fans!!!” And dozens of her Katy Cats filled the seats inside theater No. 1 at AMC The Grove 14 in Los Angeles on Wednesday night for a VIP IMAX showing, the first West Coast screening following a world premiere at New York’s Tribeca Festival in June.
During the concert doc’s rousing finale, which featured Perry performing her smash single “Firework” at two sold-out shows in Paris in November 2025, the superstar singer surprised the crowd by sneaking in a side entrance. Trailed by what seemed like a dozen cameras, Perry made her way to the front of the theater where fans had gathered beneath the screen, and she joined them in singing, dancing and jumping around in a joyful scene.
“This behavior is not typically appropriate in movie theaters but I condone it,” Perry said after the credits rolled. “I think this is how it should always be — a big party at the movies.” Producer and 10 Lives founder and CEO Daniel Catullo set the stage for such a party by introducing the film and encouraging audience members to get out of their seats during the showing and record clips of the doc. To add to the playfulness, beach balls were also tossed about during up-tempo songs.
