Los Angeles: Singer Katy Perry has revealed that football fans can expect a special surprise during her performance at the FIFA World Cup 2026 opening ceremony in Los Angeles. The pop star said she plans to perform a song that she has never sung live before.
Speaking during the premiere of her concert film at the Tribeca Festival, Perry shared that the mystery track is connected to the occasion and comes from one of her earlier albums.
“It’s very fitting for the ceremonial song that I get to sing,”
“And it’s not new,”
“It’s off of one of my records, and I’m very excited to perform it.”
Perry is scheduled to appear at the United States opening ceremony alongside artists including Anitta, Future, LISA, Tyla and Rena.
The tournament began on June 11 with the opening match between Mexico and South Africa in Mexico City. FIFA World Cup 2026 features 48 teams competing across the United States, Canada and Mexico.
