“I thank you and I love you. You are my chosen family. And because you are my chosen family, a mother must provide for her children.

“So, as your mother,” Perry added, “I would like to open the bar for one hour. The drinks are on me, baby. I love you so much. The bar is open.”’

Perry sold out four nights at Melbourne Park on her Lifetimes tour, a dazzling greatest hits convert showcasing the pop star’s career eras and reinventions.

On Saturday night, Perry said she loved her latest visit to Melbourne, and had enjoyed downtime walking in parks and visiting night markets with her daughter, Daisy Dove.

Perry also said she visited the Melbourne Museum at the weekend.

Earlier on the tour, Perry said she connected strongly with the carefree spirit of Australians.

“I’m obsessed with you, Australia. You know that, right?” Perry said.

“There’s something in your water, something that keeps you so grounded and so chill.

“You understand that life is a game and you don’t have to be so friggin’ serious about everything.

“Why not just have a laugh and a sausage roll? What’s the problem?

“You guys get it. You get it, Australia.”
