The American singer Katy Perry surprised her audience in Mexico by visiting the morning program "Venga la Alegría" last Wednesday. However, the visit was classified as the "most humble moment" of her career by users on social networks, who pointed out Perry's apparent discomfort in several of the program's dynamics.
Katy Perry arrived at the "Venga la Alegría" forum as part of the promotion of the three concerts she will offer in Mexico in 2025, at the CDMX Arena, Monterrey Arena and Guadalajara Arena.
The production of the program, in collaboration with the television station, which shares owners with the venues where the artist will perform, organized a reception with great enthusiasm. The presenters, including Pato Borghetti and Sergio Sepúlveda, welcomed her on a red carpet and several presenters even wore outfits inspired by some of her music videos.
Throughout the program, Katy Perry was involved in several activities that were intended to offer her an “authentic Mexican experience.” One of the moments that drew the most attention was when the singer got on a minibus on the set, a nod to the public transportation culture in Mexico City. During this dynamic, she was asked to shout “Get off!” as part of the experience, which generated laughter among the audience, but her facial expressions seemed to indicate a certain displeasure.
In addition, Perry participated in the popular “Meme Train” section, guided by presenter 'Capi' Pérez, who is known for his irreverent humor. In another activity, the production team gave the singer a toilet plunger, a situation that social media users criticized as unnecessary, suggesting that an interview format would have been more appropriate.
The most notable moment of her discomfort, according to comments on social media, was when one of the hosts informed her that the show was going on hiatus, but that she would continue on set upon her return. “More?” Perry asked with a grimace, which many interpreted as a sign that she wanted to end her participation.
Katy Perry's presence on "Venga la Alegría" quickly became a trend, generating all kinds of comments. Some pointed out that the show, known for its irreverent style and comedic moments, may have taken the dynamics too far, making the singer not feel entirely comfortable.
However, other users applauded the spontaneity and characteristic humor of the Mexican morning show, which gave the pop star an unforgettable welcome, although perhaps not in the way she expected.
