Katy Perry made a candid confession as she opened her Lifetimes Tour in Sydney on Wednesday night.

The American pop superstar, 40, told fans while performing on stage that she had Botox done after landing in Australia.

Katy started by complaining about jet lag and her daughter Daisy waking her up at 5am every morning.

‘But you can’t tell I’m tired because I got fresh Botox for Australia!’ she declared.

Concertgoers also burst into laughter when Katy called her assistant on-stage to unzip her costume ‘because I’ve been eating too many Tim Tams’.

Katy kicked off her massive month-long tour in Australia with her first show at Qudos Bank Arena.

The singer also shared a touching moment with her fans when she invited a group of young admirers on stage to sing Thinking Of You with her.

Alongside the delighted fans was one boy in a shark costume, a callback to Katy’s viral Left Shark moment, which involved a ‘shark’ dancing at Perry’s Super Bowl halftime show in 2015.

The global Lifetimes tour – which has been the subject of mockery and memes online – went off without a hitch on Wednesday.

At one stage, Katy knelt down at the front of the stage to thank a fan for ‘waiting for five hours’ to secure a spot at the front of the arena.

Katy stunned in an array of outfits throughout the set, which revisits hits throughout her career.

She donned a futuristic leotard and thigh high boots at one stage, before changing into a red look with silver boots.

The I Kissed A Girl hitmaker has been out and about in Sydney since touching down this week.

On Wednesday, she posted a video on Instagram showing her feeding a tiger at Sydney Zoo in the middle of the night.

Katy is performing three shows in Sydney, bringing all of her iconic hits as well as some of her new tracks from her latest album 143, to Qudos Bank Arena on June 4, 9 and 10.

Tickets to the pop icon’s tour, which has received an onslaught of criticism over the last few months, have been in high demand, with the Roar hitmaker announcing two extra shows on the Australian run to accommodate all of her fans.

Taking to Instagram in February, Katy revealed that she added an extra show at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on June 4 to kick off the Australian leg, as well as an extra Melbourne show at Rod Laver Arena on June 7.

Katy will now play a hefty 15 Australian shows.
