Katy Perry, fresh off her departure from *American Idol*, is set to headline the Rock in Rio music festival on Friday, September 20th. The *Dark Horse* singer will perform at the biennial event in Rio de Janeiro on a day dedicated to celebrating women artists.
Perry was warmly welcomed by fans upon her arrival in Brazil, with one fan presenting her with a red heart, which she was seen holding as she left the airport. The *Roar* hitmaker greeted fans cheerfully, stopping for autographs and pictures.
Dressed casually in a white vest, joggers, flip-flops, and accessorized with a black baseball cap and sunglasses, the 39-year-old popstar looked relaxed as she interacted with fans.
This performance follows Perry’s recent accolade, the Video Vanguard Award at the 2024 VMAs, where she wowed the audience with performances of her hit songs like *Teenage Dream*, *I Kissed a Girl*, and *Dark Horse*.
