As a die-hard fan of live performances and someone who has attended countless concerts over the years, I must say that the upcoming halftime show at this major event is shaping up to be quite the spectacle! With Tina, Cody Simpson, and the one and only Katy Perry on board, it promises to be a night to remember.


At the upcoming AFL Grand Final on Saturday, which takes place at the MCG in Melbourne, both Tina Arena and Katy Perry are set to display their exceptional singing abilities.

On Thursday afternoon, the Australian megastar, aged 56, was spotted practicing with the renowned American star, promising a thrilling live performance together.

The duo is noticeably animated as they sing into their microphones, evidently feeding off one another’s enthusiasm.

At one instance, they were accompanied by a troupe of dancers wearing sleek, fitted orange attire from the future, introducing a burst of color into the picture.

The sunglasses and high-style look of the dancers harmonized beautifully with the contemporary and forward-thinking atmosphere of the show.

The connection between Katy and Tina was obvious, making it apparent that they were both relishing their joint performance, resulting in an unforgettable show for the spectators.

Katy was seen wearing a bold and futuristic ensemble for the rehearsal. 

Katy Perry displayed her stunning physique in a bright, sky-blue cropped tank top, accentuated by bold white shorts featuring large pockets linked to the bottoms through silver chains.

The leg covers were billowy, giving her outfit a bold, statement-making silhouette.

Her sleek high ponytail held her hair back, revealing the powerful energy of her captivating stage presence.

Meanwhile, Tina opted for comfort with a more understated look during the singing rehearsal.

She dressed in a long black overcoat, adding a touch of classic elegance to the performance.

Her ensemble was finished off with black pants and white sneakers, creating an air of stylish practicality.

Following the exclusive report by Daily Mail Australia, it’s been reported that Tina was scheduled as a special guest, and she has allegedly been secretly preparing her performance for the last week.

Organizers are anticipating that she might deliver another unforgettable television spectacle, as she did when she teamed up with Robbie Williams during the finale of the previous year’s event.

It remains uncertain if Tina, who performs songs in English, Italian, French, and Spanish, will perform during the pre-game festivities, at halftime, or after the match concludes.

It appears that Tina, famous for her song “Burn” and the rendition of “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina”, is now set to appear instead, as earlier arrangements for Kylie Minogue to perform seem to have failed.

The event promises to be a glittering spectacle, featuring Cody Simpson performing the national anthem, and it’s anticipated that Katy Perry, aged 39, will headline the pre-game show.

Audience members are anxiously anticipating that Katy Perry’s performance lineup may feature some of her top chart-busters like “Dark Horse,” “Hot ‘n’ Cold,” “Roar,” and “Teenage Dream.

It has been mentioned that there has been disagreement between the well-known U.S. pop singer and the Australian Football League regarding her playlist. The story goes that Katy Perry’s management team is resisting an instruction for her not to perform her newer tunes.

Appearing on SEN Breakfast on Monday, veteran AFL journalist Tom Morris claimed they have reached a compromise with Katy agreeing to just one new track.

He mentioned that she was planning to perform approximately five songs, and the AFL was eager for her to perform five timeless hits. However, she wished to incorporate two fresh compositions instead.

‘In the end they met halfway and she’s playing one new song and four classics.’

Sharing his enthusiasm for Katy Perry’s music, co-host and AFL legend Kane Cornes suggested that the Australian Football League (AFL) should play a role in organizing the upcoming stadium concert.

The AFL stated, “We’re interested in your hard-hitting plays, your powerful slams, and your top-notch performances.

Instead of repeatedly requesting popular tunes like “Roar,” “Teenage Dream,” and “Firework,” they desire a collection of well-known songs. However, they have been met with resistance as she prefers to perform two of her newer compositions instead.

When attending a concert, sometimes there’s an artist who has been around for a while, and all you’re really interested in hearing are their best-known songs. In essence, you’re hoping to enjoy their most popular hits.

The AFL asked for Katy Perry’s participation, and she agreed, stating her intentions as follows: “Indeed, I aim to showcase some of my fresh tunes.
