“I actually went and did a show in Australia very quickly and I had one day off before the show and I was like, ‘Hey girl, I’m gonna come to the show,’” Perry revealed in a TikTok video shared by U.K. radio station Capital on Friday (Jan. 17).
“And [Swift] was so excited and I was so excited,” the “Dark Horse” singer added, showing a photo of the two stars embracing at the show.
Perry also took a moment to praise the fans at Sydney’s Accor Stadium, describing them as “an adorable, sweet community.” She fondly remembered exchanging friendship bracelets with some of the Swifties in attendance, with some even gifting her their handmade creations.
“I was so excited. People gave me bracelets, and I think Rita Ora gave me a bracelet. I loved it. It’s just like a big community,” she told Capital.
Beyond the concert, Perry and Swift had a chance to catch up, with Perry expressing her deep affection for the singer. “I love her so much,” Perry said.
After attending Swift’s Eras show in 2024, Perry also shared several photos and videos from the concert on Instagram, including a joyful backstage selfie with Swift.
Swift’s Eras Tour, which grossed $2 billion, concluded in December 2024 after an extensive run across the globe. The tour marked an incredible year for Swift, which also saw her win 10 Billboard Music Awards in December, including the coveted Top Artist honor.
Perry’s comments come after the two pop stars mended their relationship following a highly publicized feud. The pair reconciled in 2018, and a year later, Perry made a memorable cameo in Swift’s music video for “You Need to Calm Down,” where they appeared together in matching hamburger and French fry costumes.
Perry has also expressed gratitude for how their friendship evolved. In a 2020 interview with Howard Stern, the singer said, “What I’m so grateful for is we did get to make up publicly and got to be an example of redemption for young girls.” Perry added, “I always wanted the best for her and now we can talk about the best we want for each other.”
