Meanwhile, Swift's Eras Tour has been a hit in Australia, drawing enthusiastic crowds. However, some international fans expressed disappointment with the treatment received by the Melbourne audience, who enjoyed a special mashup of surprise songs including 'Getaway Car', 'The Other Side of the Door', and 'August'.
Adding to the buzz, Perry surprised fans by announcing her departure from 'American Idol' after seven seasons.
During an appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' on February 12, the 'Firework' star disclosed her decision, citing feeling manipulated by producers to portray a negative image on the show. This caused her much disappointment, a sentiment she had harbored since 2023.

Perry, looking stunning in pinstripe trousers and a cropped waistcoat, captioned the post, "got to see an old friend shine tonight ♥️✨," signaling the revival of her friendship with Swift and the end of their infamous 'Bad Blood'.
Previously, Perry and Swift had a well-documented feud, with Swift even writing her 2015 song 'Bad Blood' about their conflict. The feud allegedly started when Perry attempted to hire several of Swift's backup dancers and sabotage her tour.
Yet, Perry has evidently moved past the animosity, as seen in her enthusiastic participation by singing along during Swift's performance of 'Bad Blood'.
Watching from a VIP tent alongside Ora and Waititi, Perry immersed herself in the music, signaling a newfound camaraderie with Swift.
