Australian boxer Harry Garside had an exclusive behind-the-scenes glimpse of Katy Perry's AFL Grand Final performance on Saturday, sharing a video on Instagram of the pop star rehearsing in a warehouse. The 27-year-old Olympic athlete expressed his excitement, captioning the clip: 'It's Katy Perry omgggg.'
Perry's 20-minute set at the Melbourne Cricket Ground included hits like Roar, Teenage Dream, Dark Horse, and Firework, as well as new tracks Lifetimes and Gorgeous from her latest album 143. She also performed a duet of I Kissed a Girl with Australian singer Tina Arena, followed by Chains.
Garside, who recently spoke about finding love again after his Olympic defeat in Paris, attended the event as a spectator. He reflected on his sporting journey, admitting he initially felt like a failure after failing to progress beyond the first round, but has since found unexpected romance.
The boxer, cleared of domestic violence allegations earlier this year, said the new relationship came when he least expected it, adding that he is grateful for the perspective gained from his Olympic experience.
