Katy Perry roars ‘I am a champion!’ at King Charles’ coronation concert

nypost.com:

string of public controversies, Katy Perry took the stage by roaring “I am a champion!” Sunday at King Charles III’s coronation concert at Windsor Castle.The 38-year-old “global pop superstar” — as she was hyped in her concert introduction — delivered her hit songs “Roar” and “Firework” while wearing a golden metallic Vivienne Westwood dress.

Perry dedicated her full-voiced performance to the freshly crowned monarch and the work that they do together with the British Asian Trust.In between songs, Perry thanked King Charles for inviting her and also revealed to the cheering crowd that she brought a special guest with her. “I got to bring my mum and stay in a castle,” gushed Perry.

Meanwhile, her vocally strong performance Sunday certainly went smoother than Saturday’s coronation day mishaps. The “American Idol” judge arrived at Westminster Abbey for the coronation ceremony Saturday, wandering through the pews to find her seat for the high-profile event.She was photographed looking a bit confused — and launched the first in a series of viral moments.At one point, she even seemed to ask someone for assistance, with a video of the moment going viral on Twitter.Perry, herself, even got in on the joke, tweeting, “Don’t worry guys I found my seat.”But that wasn’t the end of Perry’s coronation gaffes.

The “Teenage Dream” singer nearly fell while leaving the ceremony in the rain.After snapping a few selfies with fans, Perry — dressed head-to-toe in a lilac Vivienne Westwood number — tripped in the wet conditions and almost took a tumble, managing to collect herself in the nick of time.
