Katy Perry shared a sweet moment with a young fan at her Sydney show on Wednesday night. 

The American superstar kicked off her massive, month-long tour in Australia with her first show at Qudos Bank Arena. 

While performing, Perry decided to bring a young fan named Tiana up on stage. The little girl confessed that she had skipped studying for an exam just to be at the show.

Katy grabbed the fan’s phone and quickly recorded a message for her teacher, pleading for mercy. 

‘Hi Miss Eunice, it’s Katy Perry. I’m with Tiana’ Katy began.

‘I know she’s about to take this exam for English and we just wanna say that we might be a little bit tired because we were on the stage last night’ she continued. 

‘So if you could just be a little kind, this is an exception. Please Miss Eunice, have some kindness for us!’ 

Tiana appeared on the Today show the following day where she relayed her excitement about the special interaction. 

‘In the moment [I was in] a state of shock… I was trying to pinch myself. I didn’t like what was going on’ she said. 

‘She was just talking with us, we were giving her our names. And then I mentioned that I have an English exam tomorrow that I’m actually supposed to be studying for, but instead I’m here supporting Katy Perry.

‘I get to skip my exam because Katy Perry said so.’

At the same show, Katy 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, Perry 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.

In the clip, the 40-year-old sported a brown shirt and matching brown hat as she balanced a piece of steak on her hand and pushed it against the chain-link fence. 

‘Oh my gosh I’ve never had a tiger lick my hand,’ she said as she fed the large cat.

‘Great way to beat jet lag,’ she could be heard saying, before revealing she had just come off a 14-hour flight.

The popstar 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.

The Grammy-nominated superstar revealed that she had been humbled with the success of her Australian tour, with all previous dates now sold out.

Captioning the announcement, Katy said: ‘I am so blown away by the incredible demand for THE LIFETIMES TOUR that I will be adding a final show in Sydney and a final show in Melbourne to make sure all my Australian fans have a chance to experience the incredible show I am bringing.’

Katy will now play a hefty 15 Australian shows.

The pop star announced the Australian Lifetimes tour just prior to her turn at the AFL Grand Final in September.

The original run included just one show each for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, however fan demand dictated Katy needed to add two extra Sydney and Brisbane shows.

Crestfallen Adelaide fans issued their sorrow over missing out on their chance to see Katy in the flesh but they were not left out in the cold for too long.

Listening to fan protests, Katy eventually added a run of four shows in the City of Churches.

‘I heard you loud and clear Adelaide, I got you!’ Katy wrote on Instagram.

Extra shows were also added to Melbourne and Perth as demand for the Teenage Dream hitmaker continued to rise.
