Fans slam the AFL after Katy Perry is announced as Grand Final headliner: 'Nope, don't like that' READ MORE: Katy Perry's comeback single Woman's World BOMBS on Billboard Chart By Stephen Bisset and Mary Mrad For Daily Mail Australia Published: 20:19 EDT, 24 July 2024 | Updated: 20:25 EDT, 24 July 2024 e-mail View comments Footy fans have flocked to social media to slam the AFL after their announcement that US pop star Katy Perry will perform at the 2024 Grand Final. News that the Roar hitmaker, 39, would be heading to Australia for the September clash at the Melbourne Cricket Ground was met with a chorus of disapproval from fans, with many asking why the AFL needed to import overseas talent. "AFL Grand final should be about giving Australian bands some exposure.

Let @birdsoftokyo do it again they were awesome when they did it," one fan commented on X. Another chimed in with a similar sentiment, suggesting that the overseas performers recruited for the Grand Final were often past their used-by date. 'The AFL continuing their long standing practice of hiring foreign performers a decade or two after they were popular,' the commenter wrote while another chimed in with 'this would have been huge a decade ago.

' Another took a dig at the lacklustre performance of Katy's recent comeback single, suggesting the September gig was a step down for the pop icon. 'Somehow I don't think the crisis management for women's world is going all that well if she's playing the AFL grand final.' Sum.
