Rumours emerge that Katy Perry will play secret show in Melbourne ahead of her AFL Grand Final headline gig


American hitmaker Katy Perry is rumoured to be playing a 'secret show' ahead of her AFL Grand Final headliner next week.

The singer released the lead single from her forthcoming seventh studio album 143 last Thursday, but the track - billed as an empowering feminist anthem - was quickly dismissed as unoriginal, hypocritical and formulaic. The Teenage Dream hitmaker also faced criticism for the sexualised nature of the accompanying video, as well as her decision to work with music producer Dr. Luke, 50, after his highly publicised legal battle with Tick Tock singer Kesha, 37. News that the Roar hitmaker would be heading to Australia for the September clash at the Melbourne Cricket Ground was met with a chorus of disapproval from fans, with many asking why the AFL needed to import overseas talent.
