The singer, 39, will headline the Telstra Pre-Game Entertainment at the sports game on Saturday, September 28. Katy confirmed the news in a statement on Thursday, sharing her excitement to return to Australia.
'I'm so excited to be back in Australia and back at the mighty MCG to perform in front of 100,000 of the best and loudest fans in the world at this year's Toyota AFL Grand Final. See you in September Oi Oi Oi!' she said. AFL Executive General Manager Customer and Commercial Kylie Rogers also said the AFL was thrilled to have her perform.
'Katy Perry is an international music icon who has been entertaining fans with her chart-topping hits for many years.' 'The AFL is delighted to have her join us at the 2024 Toyota AFL Grand Final in what will be a spectacular Telstra Pre-Game Entertainment performance,' Rogers said. 'The AFL continues to attract world class artists to our game, and we're honoured to have Katy Perry on board to entertain a full house at the MCG and the millions of fans tuning in across the world.
' Katy Perry (pictured) will be performing at the 2024 AFL Grand Final at the MCG in September The announcement comes after DailyMail.com revealed Katy is 'pointing the fingers at everyone but herself' after her comeback single, Woman's World , failed to set the charts alight. Insiders claim she is desperately scrambling to devise a new plan to save her musical comeback.
The singer released the lead single from her forthcoming seventh studio album 143 last Thursday, but the track - billed as an empowering feminist anthem - was quickly dismissed as unoriginal , hypocritical and formulaic. The Teenage Dream hitmaker also faced criticism for the sexualised nature of the accompanying video, as well as her decision to work with music producer Dr. Luke, 50, after his highly publicised legal battle with Tick Tock singer Kesha , 37.
With the single plummeting down the US iTunes chart less than a week since its July 11 release, Katy is said to be 'freaking out' and demanding that her team go 'back to the drawing board' to save her album from suffering the same fate. 'Katy is freaking out right now because she is very aware of the feedback that Woman's World is getting,' an insider exclusively told DailyMail.com.
'She is pointing the fingers at everyone but herself, but it is her own fault.' 'I'm so excited to be back in Australia and back at the mighty MCG to perform in front of 100,000 of the best and loudest fans in the world at this year's Toyota AFL Grand Final. See you in September Oi Oi Oi!' she said in a statement on Thursday The source claimed the biggest risk Katy had taken was reconnecting with Dr.
Luke - the music producer who worked on her hit singles including 2008's I Kissed a Girl and 2010's California Gurls before later being accused of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse by Kesha. The super producer, whose real name is Łukasz Gottwald, denied all allegations, including Kesha's claim that he raped Katy – something she shut down . Some of Katy's fans have defended the star by claiming she was forced to work with Dr.
Luke due to contractual obligations. But Katy previously confirmed that she has no ties with the producer. During her 2018 deposition for Kesha's suit against Dr.
Luke, Katy confirmed that she had only ever signed a three-album publishing deal with Dr. Luke's Kemosabe Records and that the pair were no longer in a contractual relationship. She also acknowledged what the public feedback would be if she chose to collaborate with Dr.
Luke amid his battle with Kesha. 'Working with him at this moment would mean - would not be - would not be received well because of this lawsuit,' she stated. It comes after DailyMail.
com revealed Katy is 'pointing the fingers at everyone but herself' after her comeback single, Woman's World , failed to set the charts alight. She teamed up once again with her frequent collaborator Dr. Luke, in the wake of his lawsuit with Kesha When asked if she thought working with Dr.
Luke would have a potential impact on the success of a future release, the Dark Horse singer responded: '[People would] protest against it, a smear campaign, just 20 different narratives than the one that I am.' After DailyMail.com previously revealed that Katy had been warned to not collaborate with Dr.
Luke for the new album , the source confirmed that the Roar singer had ignored pleas. 'She was insane to think that Dr. Luke was a good idea.
She didn't listen to anyone', the insider stated. 'Instead of diving deep and creating art she put something out that sounded like it could have been on an album of hers from 2010.' Not only did the track see Katy team up with the producer, the track was also mainly written alongside men.
The source claimed Katy is now demanding that they 'go back to the drawing board' ahead of the release of more singles and are even 'adjusting the album right now' Dr. Luke, Aaron Joseph, Vaughn Oliver, and Rocco Did It Again! all co-wrote and produced the track - while Katy and Chloe Angelides are the only women who helped pen the song. Not a single woman produced the album.
'You don't make a song about female empowerment with basically all men,' the source said. 'Katy cannot identify with other women because she lives in her celebrity bubble. She knows nothing about what it is like to be a woman in the real world.
'She is not using her star power to make change in the world – she is using it to make money.' Read More Katy Perry's comeback single Woman's World BOMBS on Billboard Chart..
