Katy Perry left fans in stitches after being hilariously roasted by a 102-year-old woman named Edna during an appearance on The Project on Wednesday. The American singer, 39, was promoting her upcoming AFL Grand Final performance when she engaged in a lively chat with the centenarian about the secret to a long life.
Katy shared her own grandmother’s longevity secret, saying, “My grandma almost lived to 100, and her secret was having a glass of white wine every night.” To this, Edna, who is nearing her 103rd birthday, quickly shut down the idea, replying, “Oh no, that’s naughty! I have a glass of water.”
When Katy asked Edna about her own secret to living a long life, Edna revealed that she had been doing exercise and calisthenics since she was three. In typical Katy fashion, the singer joked, “What if I go to the club with my white wine and start dancing, will I live to 102?” Edna’s deadpan response, “No!” left Katy momentarily speechless, much to the amusement of the audience.
The playful exchange between Katy and Edna quickly went viral, with viewers taking to social media to share their reactions. One fan commented, “Love her, both are wonderful,” while others praised Edna for her honesty and charm. “She was awesome,” one person wrote, with another adding, “Both icons, for real.”
Katy is currently in Melbourne ahead of her highly anticipated pre-game performance at the AFL Grand Final at the MCG on Saturday. It’s reported she will perform five songs and is being paid a staggering $5 million for the short set. However, it was revealed that there were some negotiations over the setlist, with Katy and the AFL reaching a compromise where she will perform one new song and four classic hits.
Fans can expect to hear favorites like Roar, Teenage Dream, and Firework as she takes the stage before the Sydney Swans face off against the Brisbane Lions in the AFL’s biggest game of the year.
