Katy Perry AFL Grand Final Performance Stirs Debate

Katy Perry's performance at the AFL Grand Final at the MCG in Melbourne was a mix of hits and new tracks, including 'Roar,' 'Teenage Dream,' and 'Firework,' alongside new songs from her latest album 143. Despite some controversy over song choices with AFL organizers, she managed to include two new tracks, 'Lifetimes' and 'Gorgeous.' The performance featured a viral moment when a dancer's deflated balloon costume reminded fans of the 'left shark' incident from her 2015 Super Bowl show. Perry also surprised fans with an announcement of an additional show in Adelaide as part of her 2025 Lifetimes tour. Despite an overall positive reception, some fans were disappointed by the omission of her iconic hit 'Hot n Cold,' often considered Australia's 'national anthem.'
