Katy Perry has taken time out of her current Australian tour to perform at a nightclub in Melbourne celebrating her music.
Perry’s performance on stage took place at Chaser’s nightclub on Saturday (June 14) after the final Melbourne date for her lifetime tour at Rod Laver Arena. As part of the club’s LGBTQIA+ POOF DOOF Evening, that night also contained its Katy Club Event where participants celebrated the music on the pop icon.
However, after a similar event in Brisbane on the previous evening, the Melbourne edition contained a special guest using Perry himself, who bought the club one evening of free drinks.
“In guys bred me,” shows recordings of the Perry event tell the audience. “I thank you and I love you, you are my chosen family.”
“Because you are my chosen family, a mother has to take care of her children,” she added. “So as a provider I would like to open the bar for an hour. Drinks are on me, honey!”
Perry’s crashing of his own theme event follows especially from a similar case in Sydney, where Lorde appeared at the local place Mary’s Underground, while it hosted an evening called What was it – After the new Zealand musician’s recent single.
Perry’s Australian tour was launched in early June and has so far shown four sold -out dates in Melbourne and three in Sydney. During a recent show in Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on June 9, Perry’s performance received attention after she stayed with a stage invades under her set.
Recordings of the incident showed a person who appeared on stage and put his arm around Perry, who instinctively turns away as the tab continues to dance. “There will never be another show like this, so just enjoy it!” Perry told the audience in response.
The individual was later identified as Johnson Wen, a “serial prankster” known to place videos of stage invasions to Tiktok under the username @pyjamamann. Wen was later arrested and taken to Auburn Police Station, where he was subsequently indicted to “enter closed land and hinder a person in the performance of work or duties.”
WEN has since been awarded conditional bail before a court performance on June 23 and has received a six -month ban from Sydney Olympic Park Precinct, which houses Qudos Bank Arena.
Perry’s tour continues Tuesday (June 17) with the first of two sold out dates in Brisbane, before Shows in Perth and Adelaide.
