And ahead of the performance, and in between rehearsals, the Teenage Dream singer, 39, had the chance to meet the adorable baby penguin making headlines, named Pesto.
Perry, who is promoting her new album 143, paid a visit to the Sea Life Melbourne aquarium in Australia to meet Pesto, who reportedly weighs around 22.5kg and is one of the biggest baby penguins ever seen.
