Katy Perry isn't fazed by her critics.
Speaking with PEOPLE about her newly announced Lifetimes Tour, which is in support of her album 143, the "Hot N Cold" singer revealed she does read her album reviews — but has found it's best to avoid them all together.
"You shouldn't read it when it's good. You shouldn't read it when it's bad," Perry, 40, tells PEOPLE exclusively.
She adds, "My therapist said something that really changed my life. What anybody thinks about you is none of your business. It's what you think about yourself."
Despite any negative reviews, this album is about personal change — and she hopes it can become "the soundtrack for anyone's life."
"I created this album out of a real shift in my life when I became a mother, and I really tapped into that feminine divine energy. The messages on it are celebratory. They're about love," Perry says of the album's creation.

The "Dark Horse" performer continues, "I have an incredible identity that I've been able to create since COVID, when a lot changed for so much. So the album really just celebrates love and this unconditional love that I have been looking for my whole life and never really knew it existed. That was a cliché, and it's actually true."
During an appearance on Call Her Daddy in September, Perry addressed criticism over working with Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald — who worked on some of her biggest hits like “I Kissed a Girl,” “California Gurls" and “Teenage Dream” and was involved in nearly a decade-long legal battle with Kesha.
“I understand that it started a lot of conversations and he was one of many collaborators that I collaborated with. But the reality is, it comes from me,” Perry said the producer. “The truth is, I wrote these songs from my experience of my whole life going through this metamorphosis, and he was one of the people to help facilitate all that. One of the writers, one of the producers. I am speaking from my own experience.”
Two months prior, in July, Perry responded to criticism over the music video for her song "Women's World," which was accused of catering to the male gaze.

On Instagram, Perry shared a behind-the-scenes clip of the music video which she captioned: "YOU CAN DO ANYTHING! EVEN SATIRE!"
In the video, she explained the logic behind her creative direction for the video: "We’re kind of just having fun being a bit sarcastic with it, it’s very slapstick, and very on the nose."
“And with this set, it’s like, ‘Oooh, we’re not about the male gaze but we really are about the male gaze,’ and we’re really overplaying it and on the nose because I’m about to get smashed which is like a reset, a reset for me, and a reset for my idea of feminine divine, and it’s a whole different world we go to after this.”
Perry concluded, "We wanted to open this video making it look like a super high gloss pop star video, and that’s what it is."
The singer will kick off the U.S. leg of her Lifetimes Tour — which she teases will be a "love-filled spectacle" — on May 7 at the Toyota Center in Houston. See the tour dates here.
