The Teenage Dream singer's Lifetimes Tour has faced an onslaught of criticism leading to low ticket sales and canceled dates.

At her show at the Target Center in Minneapolis Tuesday night doors were scheduled to open at 6pm but did not open until about 8:15pm, according to The Minnesota Star Tribune.

Venue staff told the disgruntled crowd over bullhorns that the delay was due to 'production delays.'

Furious fans shared videos of the massive lines they were forced to wait in calling it 'disastrous.'

'A couple people fainting bc the venue lobby was so overcrowded and had no airflow. Total chaos,' one person said.

'They’re herding us like cows at the KATY PERRY lifetimes tour doors opened 90 minutes ago and we’re STUCK here. KATY won’t let us in. LET ME IN KATY,' said another.

Sources told the newspaper that Perry's crew arrived to the city late after doing a show in Chicago the night before.

Music critic Chris Riemenschneider said that despite the delay, Perry hit the stage only 30 minutes later than expected, but that she did not apologize to fans.

'In fact, the pop star acted as if Tuesday’s voyage was entirely smooth sailing. And as Katy Perry concerts go, this one indeed fell right in her usual orbit,' he said.

Riemenschneider described the singer's concert at the Target Center as strange and incohesive.

'Tuesday’s concert was weird even by Perry’s standards. Its Las-Vegas-meets-Battlestar-Galactica stage production was hopelessly bloated and disjointed,' he said.

'The show was built around a dopey video game storyline where fans had to save butterflies and bring humanity back to our modern computer-driven world. Or maybe we were just supposed to dance a lot to save the world? It was hard to follow.'

Over the weekend, eagle-eyed fans noticed yet another sign that her Lifetimes Tour might not have the biggest budget considering how she manually flapped the mechanical wings on her wired butterfly prop.

X user @PerrysBiSide tweeted a video of the 40-year-old pop star rising and lowering her rear end last Saturday captioned: 'Why did no one mention she's moving the wings with her a**?'

The storyline for the Firework singer's tour involves her portraying a half-human, half-robot video game character who battles an 'all-powerful AI called the Mainframe' that stole 'the world's butterflies.'

The butterfly moment happens when Perry, born Katheryn Hudson, performs her 2013 hit Roar during the final 'level 5' of the concert in support of her dismally reviewed seventh studio album.

While riding a children's pony toy backstage at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, OK last Friday, the 13-time Grammy nominee admitted: 'This is what it feels like to be on the butterfly every night too.'

The former American Idol judge has been suffering severe backlash ever since her space tourist trip on Blue Origin's New Shepard NS-31 mission.

Many of her fans have hypothesized that the chaotic nature of the show is due to organizers pulling the plug on elements referencing the space flight at the last minute to avoid further scrutiny.

Daily Mail contacted Katy Perry's representatives for comment.
