Katy Perry Southland visit: Thousands head to Myer Southland to see star

BEFORE her last Melbourne gig tonight, superstar Katy Perry headed to Southland, with thousands of fans showing up in a bid to meet the pop star.

AFTER four days and nights exploring Melbourne’s bike trails, market eats, art fairs and ballet stages, pop superstar Katy Perry hit up Southland to meet her fans.

Thousands of so-called KatyCats crammed into Myer Southland to do the modern-day meet and greet: a selfie (duck-lips optional) and a few excitable words with their hero.

Hours after stepping off her private jet, she hit the bike trail for the boho delights of Fitzroy and Collingwood. She also dined at the Queen Victoria Night Market, visited the Melbourne Art Fair at South Wharf and Ballet Preljocaj’s dark take on Snow White at the Arts Centre.
