Katy Perry is set to perform at the opening night of Prince Harry’s next Invictus Games.
The ‘I Kissed a Girl’ singer, 40, lives near the Duke of Sussex, 40, and his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, 43, with her long-term actor partner Orlando Bloom, 47, in Montecito, California – with the pair of celebs among the guests invited to the third birthday party for Harry and Meghan’s daughter Lilibet.
Harry’s Invictus Games has now messaged on X about Katy being lined up to play its Whistler Opening Ceremony in Vancouver, Canada: “Buckle up because we’re beyond excited to announce that the one and only, Multi-Platinum Global Pop Superstar, @katyperry will be joining GRAMMY-Award Nominated, Multi-Platinum Artist @NoahKahan, Multi-Talented Musician and Songwriter @NellyFurtado for a truly epic Opening Ceremony Known for her iconic hits like ‘Roar’, ‘Firework’, and ‘Dark Horse’ – experience these goosebump worthy moments IRL!”
Katy has earned five American Music Awards, 13 Grammy nominations and 14 People’s Choice Awards and was named by Billboard as one of the 21st century’s biggest pop stars.
The 2025 Invictus Games for disabled military veterans will run from 8 to 16 February across multiple locations in Whistler and Vancouver.
Katy is the biggest star to appear at the bi-annual event.
Her and Orlando’s friendship with Harry and Meghan was highlighted last year when the Sussexes were at Katy’s ‘Fireworks’ concert in Las Vegas sitting in VIP seats alongside Celine Dion.
Harry usually delivers an opening speech at the Invictus Games to welcome the athletes, while Meghan traditionally takes to the stage for closing remarks after the week-long event attended by athletes from over 30 countries.
To promote the 2025 games he has so far taken part in a comedy sketch where he appears to be getting an Invictus tattoo from 40-year-old singer Jelly Roll.
