Katy Perry wowed the crowd at Melbourne’s MCG on Saturday during her AFL Grand Final show.
But the pop star, 39, went viral while performing for a very unexpected reason.
While Katy sang her hit song Teenage Dream, some of her dancers wore silver balloon costumes.
But one of the costumes was not inflated and stood out among the company’s many inflated silver balloons.
Many viewers took to social media to mock the deflated dancer.
In a video of the moment shared on TikTok, user yasminjnelson wrote in the caption “the deflated balloon is Katy Perry’s new left shark.”
The TikTokker was referring to the viral moment from Katy Perry’s performance at the 2015 Superbowl, when a dancer dressed as a shark appeared to dance awkwardly next to the singer.
While the dancer in the shark costume on the right was on time, the dancer on the left was out of rhythm and not in unison with his counterpart.

‘Did someone say left shark?’ said one, while another pointed out that both viral moments happened at a performance of Teenage Dream: ‘THE SAME SONG.’
“Why does it always happen during Teenage Dream?” another commenter expressed.
Perry’s 20-minute AFL Grand Final set included two tracks from her latest album 143, Lifetimes and Gorgeous, her collaboration with Kim Petras, after reports AFL bosses had restricted her to a single song new.

Despite including the new songs, it was the hits that got the crowd going with Katy starting with a performance of Roar beforehand. ripping off their hits Teenage Dreams, Dark Horse and Firework.
Katy also sang a rendition of I Kissed A Girl with Tina Arena before the pair performed a rendition of the Australian pop star’s hit Chains.
But he raised eyebrows with his setlist by not singing Hot n Cold, despite it being the famous theme song for MasterChef Australia and many jokingly considering it to be the true Australian “national anthem”.
