Katy Perry got Botox after arriving in Australia for Lifetimes tour
Katy Perry had Botox shortly after arriving in Australia.
The 40-year-old pop star opened her Lifetimes Tour at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney on Wednesday (04.06.25) night and admitted to her audience she'd been struggling with jet lag, particularly because her and Orlando Bloom's four-year-old daughter Daisy had been waking her up at 5am, but joked any visible signs of tiredness weren't there because she'd had the wrinkle-smoothing injections.
She told the crowd: "You can't tell I'm tired because I got fresh Botox for Australia!"
Katy also made her audience laugh when she called for her assistant to come on stage and help her unzip her costume.
She explained she was struggling with the garment "because I've been eating too many Tim Tams."
During the Choose Your Own Adventure segment of the show, the Teenage Dream hitmaker - who will be performing another 14 shows Down Under this month - invited a group of young fans on stage to sing Thinking of You with her, including one boy in a shark costume, which referenced her infamous Left Shark dancer during her 2015 Super Bowl halftime show.
And that wasn't Katy's only interaction with her young fans, as at one point, she bent down from the stage to thank one supporter for "waiting for five hours" to secure a spot on the front row.
This isn't the first time Katy has confessed t having Botox treatments.
Last month, a satirical headline by the Onion joked Katy would be releasing a song called Stop Making Fun of Me alongside a photo of Katy taken in Melbourne last year.
She quipped on Instagram in response: "This photo is clearly photoshopped I would never let my Botox go that long, do better The Onion!"
Katy recently spoke of how much joy her audience brings her, particularly as she has faced a backlash largely due to her participation in Blue Origin's recent all-female space flight, as well as for working with controversial producer Dr. Luke - who has been accused of abuse by Kesha - and also faced mocking over the choreography on her 'Lifetimes' tour.
She wrote on an Instagram fan account: "What's real is seeing your faces every night, singing in unison, reading your notes, feeling your warmth. I find people to lock eyes and sing with and I know we are healing each other in a small way when I get to do that co l'm not perfect, and I actually have omitted that word from my vocabulary, l'm on a human journey playing the game of life with an audience of many and sometimes I fall but... I get back up and go on and continue to play the game and somehow through my battered and bruised adventure I keep looking to the light and in that light a new level UNLOCKS (sic)"

Indy Clinton hires private investigator to complete dossier on trolls leaving hurtful comments on her social media
Indy Clinton has revealed she has hired a private investigator to get the private details of those people leaving hurtful or 'troll' comments on her popular social media accounts. The mother-of-three, who has 650,000 Instagram followers, confirmed the move via a video. 'How it feels receiving a 64-page report from my PI after an extensive three-month investigation on all my ladies (mothers) who have continuously bullied, defamed and trolled me and my family for months n months and even years,' she wrote. Clinton looked pleased with herself as she danced around in the clip, including completing a number of jubilant twirls. Clinton divided opinion with the move, being praised by some of Australia's biggest names. 'Think I might do this too. You are not anonymous trolls,' AFL WAG Rebecca Judd wrote. 'Queen sh*t,' Perth influencer, Em Davies, added. 'This. I found out who my troll was too - it was one of my clients. Blew my mind that most 'trolls' are people we know,' Felicity Morgan wrote. Trolling remains a grey area when it comes to the law. However, if the harassment passes the legal threshold for adult abuse, it can be reported to the eSafety commissioner. The harassment could also contravene existing defamation or harassment laws. Other followers were less sympathetic. 'So, you got a PI because people troll you. Yet, you're the one that puts up all the ridiculous things you do. Exploiting your children and husband then you complain because people make harsh comments. Yet, it's never affected you enough to stop posting. You just found a new angle to get attention,' one person wrote. 'Have fun with that. Trolling isn't illegal,' another wrote. 'Your weird,' another added. Clinton spoke to The Daily Telegraph about her decision to hire a private investigator. 'Some of the defamatory things which have been said about me in recent years are extremely distressing,' Clinton began. 'I will use my platform and my voice to not only spread awareness but to make an impact.' Clinton then spoke about the toll trolling has taken on her. 'Lives are being taken,' she said. 'For me - a few months ago - what I endured was life or death.'

Katy Perry wows Perth on Lifetimes Tour
A pop extravaganza took place at RAC arena Sunday night as thousands of loyal 'KatyCats' assembled in anticipation of superstar Katy Perry's The Lifetimes Tour, for the first of her two Perth shows. The atmosphere was electric as fans sported costumes from the singer's iconic outfits as an ode to their favourite hits. The pop queen didn't hold back in delivering the spectacle crowds were expecting, ensuring every facet of the show went the extra mile to impress. From riding a gargantuan mechanical butterfly across the arena to being propelled through the air on aerial lines — all while belting out songs — Perry confirmed her status as a seasoned pop icon. Opening with song Artificial (feat JID) set the tone for the AI-themed show, featuring Perry in a video game world fighting the villainous AI technology known as 'main-frame'. As the audience was sucked into her vortex via larger-than-life visuals, the singer rose from the depths of the infinity-shaped stage, dressed in a futuristic robot-inspired costume complete with thigh-high metallic boots. If it all sounds a little gimmicky, that's because it was, aligning with the over-the-top fantastical worlds Perry seeks to create with each tour. Fans were mesmerised by the epic visuals, jaw-dropping set design and multiple costumes changes, bursting into song alongside mega hits Woman's World, California Gurls, Teenage Dream and latest dance anthem Lifetimes. Taking time to interact and connect with fans, the singer accepted posters and gifts from the crowd, including a pack of Tim Tams that she shared with two young fans on stage — her signature quirky charm on full display. The show is the star's fifth world tour in promotion of her seventh studio album, titled 143. While the singer experienced backlash after the recent Blue Origin space flight that has extended to criticism of The Lifetimes Tour's themes, Perry maintains her messaging of acceptance and belonging throughout the show, that originally garnered her millions of fans on the brink of her 2011 California Dreams Tour. Any criticisms were clearly left behind as the audience couldn't get enough of Perry's stage presence and powerhouse vocals. With an encore of much loved hit Firework to end the show, fans were left feeling sky high. 4 stars

Miley Cyrus slammed for ‘rude' behaviour at fan event
Don't miss out on the headlines from Music. Followed categories will be added to My News. Miley Cyrus has been slammed for being rude 'rude' and disrespectful' after seemingly ignoring fans at a meet-and-greet in the UK over the weekend. The singer was at the Rough Trade East music store and bar in London to meet fans and promote her new album, Something Beautiful. Joining her was British supermodel Naomi Campbell, who features on the album on the funk-pop track, Every Girl You've Ever Loved. But as the pair signed autographs, seemingly on autopilot, they appeared to be more interested in chatting to each other, much to the disappointment of their excited fans. X SUBSCRIBER ONLY In a clip now going viral, Cyrus barely interacts with a fan who approach the table with her album in hand, nor does the singer look at the camera for a photo. Instead, she continues to focus her attention on Campbell, who also appears to ignore fans gushing over her. 'Miley looked right at her and focused on Naomi right after. Cmon Miley,' one fan tweeted on X, as another commented, 'Oh that's just disrespectful.' Miley Cyrus called been out for her 'rude' behaviour at a fan meet-and-greet in London. Picture: X 'I'm sure they didn't intend to but... this is just rude. If you can't give your attention to fans, then don't agree to autograph sessions where pictures are also offered,' another wrote, as one noted, 'I'm pretty sure people paid to see them so if you're going to charge at least be polite and give them the time they paid for.' 'Ew that's effed she prob waited hours for that rudeness,' yet another agreed. Cyrus was joined by British supermodel Naomi Campbell, who also appeared to ignore fans at the event. Picture: X Other users came to Cyrus' defence, calling for understanding as fan meet-and-greets are no walk in the park. 'It is rude. but they see 100s of not 1000s of people. To try and sit there and talk to each and every one of them is a bit much. Not trying to defend their actions or anything, just sayin,' one wrote. 'They have hundreds of fans to meet. I don't blame them for not giving one on one attention to each one,' wrote another. In a photo with another fan, Cyrus doesn't even look at the camera. Picture: X Earlier this month, the Hannah Montana star was unexpectedly heckled by fans at a Q&A session at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York on June 6. The pop star was at the event to promote her upcoming musical film, Something Beautiful, which is released in line with her album of the same name. In videos posted online, Cyrus was in the middle of answering a question when a disgruntled fan shouted from the audience, 'We thought this was a concert. We paid $800.' 'Are you actually going to sing?' yelled another. 'Miley, sing The Climb!' Cyrus was heckled by fans at the Tribeca Film Festival in early June. Picture: Instagram The singer was pressured to sing at the Q&A event in New York. Picture: Instagram Cyrus then obliged and began to sing an a capella version of her 2009 hit, before abruptly stopping to ask the audience why 'you're not singing'. After handling the awkward moment with grace, Cyrus then took to Instagram to thank everyone for coming along to the event. 'Seeing Something Beautiful on the big screen at @tribeca @beacontheatre surrounded by the screams of the audience, was so worth every bit of effort lovingly laboured into this visual album,' she wrote alongside photos from the event. 'Tonight was emotional, deep, fun & fabulous. All my favourite things, but YOU the crowd were my absolute favourite of all. I love you.'
