Katy Perry revealed some big news to fans that excited them to no end after wrapping up her Lifetimes Tour in recent months.
The 41-year-old pop superstar is being announced as the headliner at the FIFA World Cup opening ceremony before the 48-nation tournament kicks off.
The Teenage dream hitmaker will take the stage at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California on June 12 before the match between the USA and Paraguay teams.
Perry joined a number of other musicians including Future, Lisa and Tyla, singer Anitta, singer/rapper Rema and DJ Sanjoy.
For the tournament opener between Mexico and South Africa, Tyla will join Alejandro Fernández, Danny Ocean, Lila Downs, Belinda and J Balvin and groups Los Ángeles Azules and Maná at Mexico City’s Azteca Stadium on June 11.
For the Canadian tournament opener, before Canada plays Bosnia and Herzegovina at Toronto’s BMO Field, artists including Alanis Morissette, Michael Bublé, Alessia Cara, Jessie Reyez, Nora Fatehi, William Prince, Elyanna and Vegedream and DJ Sanjoy will take the stage.
The World Cup entertainment segments begin 90 minutes before the match.
