Global pop sensation Katy Perry arrives in Perth for The Lifetimes Tour at RAC Arena
Global pop sensation Katy Perry has arrived in Perth, just hours before her show at RAC Arena.
The 40-year-old is in Australia on her The Lifetimes Tour and is set to delight WA's adoring fans across two shows on June 22 and 23.
On Sunday afternoon, the American singer landed at Perth Airport and was seen stepping out of her private jet.
Perry attempted to make a stealthy exit with a swarm of black umbrellas escorting her into a black van parked on the tarmac.
She kept her ensemble cosy and casual ahead of the highly-anticipated show, wearing a grey hoodie and black leggings, with a camel coloured trench-coat on top to keep out the cold.
She accessorised with black sunglasses and sneakers.
Perry announced her Lifetimes Tour five days after the release of her new album 143 and just days before she took the stage for the AFL Grand Final pre-game entertainment.
Her tour originally included one concert each in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth but due to huge demand from her 'KatyCats', Perry added extra shows for all cities.
Sunday's show will be Perry's tenth concert in Australia this month and comes after an overly enthusiastic stage invader interrupted her Sydney show on June 10.
She was singing her 2008 hit Hot N Cold when a man crashed the Qudos Bank Arena stage and wrapped his arm around her.
Perry quickly moved out of the man's reach as he kept jumping and dancing.
Two security guards quickly rushed the stage, while the man tried to escape.
Katy quipped: 'Well, there's never going to be another show like this. So just enjoy it, Sydney.'
Whether similar scenes will play out in Perth, only time will tell.
As of Sunday afternoon, tickets to both Perth shows were still available.

Katy Perry snapped in Peter Alexander bear onesie with daughter at Luna Park in Sydney
It is not uncommon to spot a onesie-wearing Australian in the colder months down under but an American superstar has joined in the trend while on tour. Snapped at Luna Park in Sydney, pop superstar Katy Perry was seen in an Aussie designer's fluffy offering looking calm, collected and super comfy. The showbiz queen clearly has good taste as the onesie was from none other than Australian sleepwear king Peter Alexander's collection. So chuffed was the designer he shared the pic on his official Instagram account. While a large portion of Australians go to bed wrapped in Alexander's sleepwear, it is nice to know he has an international following too. The fluffy bear onesie appears to be a popular choice and is sold out online with some children's sizes available. The adorable snap also captured Perry holding the hand of her daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, whose father is Hollywood superstar Orlando Bloom — Perry's partner since 2016. Days after the Californian diva had a security scare when an audience member charged the stage at her sold-out Qudos Bank Arena show in Sydney, news has surfaced that the A-list couple's relationship may be on the rocks. The couple are contending with rumours of a potential split following Daily Mail reports Perry was spotted without her wedding ring on the tour and following tensions created around the flop of her 2024 album 143. 'Orlando and I, when we argue, we argue kinda hot and fast and then cool really quickly. It's like, 'La la la la la, I love you. Alright, let's move on,'' the pop superstar previously said in 2024. She also mentioned the impact that their domestic blow-ups had on their four-year-old daughter Daisy. 'We are fire, fire, fire, and so [Daisy] sees all of that,' Ms Perry said. 'He's a real sage. We both have parts of ourselves. There's two parts of us, our highest good, and then our carnal, material self. Ego. When the ego is running the show, then it's like, 'Whoa.' But when that's in check, then we're both something else.'' Mr Bloom, who is in New York for the Tribeca Film Festival, has spoken previously about the challenging moments in their partnership. 'Sometimes things are really, really, really, challenging. I won't lie. We definitely battle with our emotions and creativity.' Perry is currently in Melbourne before her tour heads to Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.
