Katy Perry was seen greeting fans as she signed autographs outside her Melbourne hotel after her headline performance at the AFL Grand Final on Saturday.
The American pop star, 39, took to the MCG stage in front of 100,000 AFL fans as he led the pre-game entertainment before the Brisbane Lions cruised to victory over the Sydney Swans.
Katy, who was paid $5 million for the gig, belted out a slew of her best-known hits, including Roar and Firework, as well as two tracks from her new album 143.
She was widely praised for her voice during the show, although her use of CGI effects left many viewers at home completely baffled, and she even sang a duet with Tina Arena.
After the highly anticipated performance, Katy took time to greet fans and sign autographs when she returned to her luxury Melbourne hotel.
The I Kissed A Girl singer was seen sweetly hugging a young fan as she also joked around and seemingly struck a roaring pose for the group.

The I Kissed A Girl singer was seen sweetly hugging a young fan during a sweet moment as crowds gathered outside her hotel.
During her headlining concert, Katy stunned fans when she kicked off her set with her smash hit Roar, despite it being widely theorized that she wouldn’t be performing the number.
There had been feverish speculation that the song had been blacklisted because it would show alleged bias towards the Lions, and Katy herself even admitted that she had been warned not to sing it.
However, despite the rampant theories, Katy threw caution to the wind when performing the song that some fans consider the unofficial anthem of the underdogs, which they ended up winning.
He then caused further surprise by not singing Hot n Cold, despite it being the famous MasterChef Australia theme song and many jokingly considering it to be the true Australian “national anthem”.
She performed her hits Teenage Dreams, Dark Horse, Firework and California Gurls and sang I Kissed A Girl with Tina Arena, but notably missed Hot n Cold, even though she was expected to appear.
Following reports that AFL bosses restricted her to just one new song, Katy also sang two songs from her 2024 album 143: Lifetimes and Gorgeous, her collaboration with Kim Petras.

Although fans praised his vocal talent, many viewers were baffled by an unusual detail during the show, which they claimed had no place in an AFL Grand Final.
Fans at home took to social media to mercilessly mock her choice to accompany her real-life performance and dance moves with a variety of “bizarre” CGI effects.
Fans watched as huge futuristic effects appeared over the stadium grounds, including golden love hearts and a galaxy-style black hole, with many mocking the CGI look of an early 2000s video game.
Katy was reportedly hoping her AFL show would “revive” her “faltering” pop career and help promote her new album 143, which has received divisive reviews.
Their long-awaited seventh studio album, 143, which references the expression “I love you,” did not get off to a good start among music critics, receiving lukewarm reviews.
A damning review of her first album in four years by a major entertainment outlet declared that Perry “struggles to recapture past glory on the 143rd floor.”
