Katy Perry's attempt to dazzle at the World Cup fell flat, leaving fans furious and demanding her exit.
Over 70,000 fans packed SoFi Stadium for the first 2026 World Cup game on American soil, where the US crushed Paraguay 4-1. Before the match, Perry strutted onto the field in what was labeled an “astronaut’s costume” — a silver dress — and belted out an album track titled "Wonder."
The crowd's reaction? A wave of disappointment. Social media exploded with criticism as fans unleashed their fury online.
One user slammed her performance as a “train wreck,” declaring she “sounded terrible.” Another mocked her outfit, quipping about her supposed return to astronaut days.
“This sucks,” one fan succinctly stated, while another raged, “Get this s*** out of here.”
Daily Star cannot verify if these critics have ever attempted a music career themselves, but it’s safe to assume their talents lie elsewhere.
In a twist, not everyone was ready to throw Perry under the bus. One supporter praised her performance as “a presentation to fill the eyes with emotion and pride,” urging others to explore her discography.
Fans had lined up for hours outside the LA stadium, typically home to NFL teams Rams and Chargers, eager for the match.
Perry’s performance followed high-energy sets from rappers Future and Tyla, who delivered a “goated” rendition of their hit "Game Time." Perhaps the audience was still buzzing from that electrifying act, making Perry’s “Wonder” feel even more lackluster.
Katy was joined by a young singer named Tius Luka during her set.
