Katy Perry shares behind-the-scenes look at her incredible makeup transformation from bare-faced to full glam for AFL Grand Final performance

Katy Perry put on quite the performance at the MCG in Melbourne on Saturday during her AFL Grand Final show.

And he pop star, 39, shared a glimpse at how she got ready for the stage with a flawless makeup look. 

In a video shared to TikTok, Katy bared her natural face before giving fans a look at her finished, camera-ready appearance.  

‘Getting gorg for the @afl Grand Final’ she wrote in her caption alongside the short video. 

‘Australia loves you for life!’ wrote one fan in the comments while another chimed in, ‘THE MOST GORGEOUS’. 

‘Looking absolutely stunning queen’ said another with someone else saying, ‘SO SO SO BEAUTIFUL’. 

Katy later stormed the stage for a short but thrilling set with her futuristic ensemble complete.  

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 she had been restricted to just one new song by AFL bosses.

Despite slipping the new songs in, it was the hits that got the crowd pumping with Katy kicking of with a rendition of Roar before ripping into her hits Teenage Dreams, Dark Horse and Firework.

Katy also belted out a rendition of I Kissed A Girl with Tina Arena before the pair moved into a rendition of the Aussie pop star’s hit Chains.

But she caused surprise with her setlist by not singing Hot n Cold, despite it famously being the theme tune to MasterChef Australia and jokingly regarded by many as Aussie’s true ‘national anthem’.

One of the world’s most iconic rock bands reportedly turned down an eye-watering $20million offer to headline the AFL Grand Final’s pre-game entertainment.

Instead, organisers turned to pop superstar Perry, who took home $5million to wow the crowds with a spectacular performance at the MCG on Saturday.

AFL bosses were said to be keen to secure The Rolling Stones – made up of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood – for the highly-sought-after headlining slot.

The rock icons, who recently embarked on a successful US tour to promote their latest album Hackney Diamonds, would have been a dream act for the AFL final.

However, negotiations reportedly hit a roadblock when the AFL baulked at the hefty price tag for the brief 20-minute headlining slot.

In the end, the decision saved organisers a massive $15million, as Perry was reportedly signed on for a comparatively modest $5million – though Aussies were still left shocked by the multi-million payday.
