Earlier this month, Perry opened up to PEOPLE about life on tour and finding calm behind the scenes.
"Well, people think backstage is pretty scandalous, but for me, for a decade, it's pretty much been the same," she said. "We're just getting ready, we're eating well, we're doing a pre-show workout. We're doing lots of different business things and really sticking to the meditation."
The artist added, "So the [things] that I do, and have done for over a decade, has given me a lot of help with fatigue and exhaustion. Especially getting through these shows, because I think this is probably the most physically grueling show I've done."

Tickets for Play's new dates go on sale the same day Perry is set to perform as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live, hosted this weekend by Willem Dafoe.
The "Teenage Dream" singer teased her performance on Instagram last week, where she wrote, "Live from New York, it's 🍄PLAY🍄 Can't wait to bring my slice of Sin City to the Big Apple🍎 (and ur 📺)."
Perry is no stranger to SNL, as her upcoming performance marks her fourth time singing on the show. She previously hosted in 2011, and performed in 2010, 2013 and 2017.
