  During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in February 2024, Perry announced her exit from American Idol following the conclusion of the twenty-second season, saying she wanted to "go out and feel that pulse to my own beat" and release new music after being "in the studio for a while". The season premiered later that month, and concluded in May. She released " Woman's World ", the first single from her seventh album, on July 11, 2024. Two other singles preceded the record's release: " Lifetimes " and " I'm His, He's Mine " featuring Doechii.
  
  The album, titled 143, was released on September 20. She described it as "super high energy, it's super summer, it's very high BPM" and "just full of so much joy, so much love, so much light". The record was panned by critics, and Perry was widely criticized for her decision to work with Dr. Luke on it after singer Kesha 's allegations of sexual assault against him. Kesha had previously been found by a judge, with a sworn deposition from Perry, to have falsely accused Dr. Luke of raping Perry.
  
  On September 11, Perry received the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards. She performed during the 2024 Rock in Rio festival on the day of 143 ' s release. Eight days later, Perry headlined the pre-game entertainment at Australia's 2024 AFL Grand Final. That December, she filmed a performance at Methodist Central Hall, Westminster for a special titled Katy Perry: Night of a Lifetime. Produced by Fremantle, it premiered on ITV in the United Kingdom on December 21. A deluxe edition of 143, titled 1432, was released on December 20, 2024. It contains four additional tracks, and Perry called this "an early holiday gift" for her fans.
  
  On April 14, 2025, she flew into space aboard Blue Origin NS-31, Blue Origin 's eleventh crewed flight to space under the New Shepard program, along with Amanda Nguyen, Aisha Bowe, Kerianne Flynn, Gayle King, and Lauren Sánchez. It was the first all-female space flight since 1963. The flight event was widely criticized for various reasons, including assertions that it was a media ploy or PR stunt for Amazon. Later that month, Perry embarked on the Lifetimes Tour, which is scheduled to end the following December.
