If there’s one thing you can count on Katy Perry for, it’s putting on an elaborate and eye-catching show.

And when the chart-topping singer kicked off her new Las Vegas residency Play this week, she was on fine form, serving up the camp and cartoonish wardrobe and unique staging that helped make her one of the most popular artists of her generation.

There’s one particular section of the show that’s really caught Katy’s fans’ attention since her first performance on Wednesday night, though.

As well as sections that see her performing on a giant beer can and interacting with a talking Covid mask, one portion of the show took place in an oversized bathroom.

During a rendition of her number one hit California Gurls, Katy could be seen twerking on an oversized pile of toilet paper, next to a giant orange toilet.

As if that wasn’t enough, there was also a cameo from an actual puppet poo, who pops out of the loo (complete with a corn kernel “gold tooth”), to adlib alongside Katy.

Yes, you read that correctly. Katy Perry can be seen singing with an anthropomorphic poo in her Las Vegas show. And be honest… you want to see some footage, don’t you?

Katy Perry climbing giant toilet rolls to sing to a giant poo wasn't something I thought I'd see on here until at least 2024. https://t.co/w8a93s1dWd

"You're ready to be flushed, hello Mr. Poo. You look healthy, like you eat a lot of fiber. Don't be shy folks, everybody poos"

KATY PERRY I LOVE YOU
