Katy Perry addresses 'up-Roar' over her AFL Grand Final performance

Today vowed to get to the bottom of the controversy surrounding Katy Perry's set list for her performance at the 2024 AFL Grand Final and we finally have an answer.

There were concerns the star wouldn't sing one of her biggest hits, Roar, with some suggesting it would give the Brisbane Lions an unfair advantage against the Sydney Swans this weekend.

But Today's Renee Bargh sat down with Perry ahead of her performance and put the question to her, will she give the fans what they want?

"I can't believe it, all I know is go Lions, go Swans," the star answered.

"My stylist is from Sydney and she has been whispering in my ear, 'just say Swans, Swans, Swans' and I'm like, well, but what about Brizzy? like, that's where the party is, you can't let those people down."

So yes, Perry has confirmed - she will be performing Roar at Saturday's AFL Grand Final halftime show.

"They'll take it, I know they'll be like, 'where's the Swans song?', but I don't know, I'm claiming Switzerland."

Perry stayed tight-lipped over what exactly is in store for fans on Saturday, but she did reveal it's going to be good.

"It is going to be a really big show, I just did a huge show in Rio and then before that, the VMAs, they're all different aesthetically, but there's also an incredible thing that I'm coming out on that it looks like it's from the future," she said.

"We put a lot of thought into it and a lot of effort and a lot of practice, so this is kind of like a big appetiser for the tour, which I'll be back in June and playing all the songs that everybody knows - it'll be a big fat dance party."

Perry's new album, 143, is out now and pre-sale tickets to The Lifetimes Tour release tomorrow at 10am.

General admission tickets go on sale next Friday, October 4 and you can head to Ticketek for more details.
