Why Is Katy Perry Performing at King Charles’ Coronation?

Speaking to Extra, Katy Perry said she received an invitation in the mail to perform for King Charles III’s coronation. She called the invite “very regal” and said it featured “a cursive I have never seen [before].”

Perry and King Charles already know each other, as the pop star serves as an ambassador for the British Asian Trust foundation.

Perry has previously attended events for the foundation, which King Charles founded in 2007.

“I’m an ambassador to one of his foundations for the British Asian Trust, which primarily focuses on ending child trafficking, which is a huge issue of our time that people don’t talk enough about. And it just aligned with all my values … He asked me to sing and it all aligned,” Perry told Extra.

Who Else Is Performing at King Charles’ Coronation?

According to Today, Katy Perry’s fellow American Idol judge Lionel Richie is also slated to perform at the royal coronation.

British group Take That and opera singer Andrea Bocelli are also expected to perform alongside Sir Bryn Terfel, Freya Riding and Alexis Ffrench.

What Songs Will Katy Perry Perform at the Coronation?

Katy Perry played coy when Extra asked her about what songs she plans to perform at the royal coronation.

However, since the BBC confirmed the coronation’s themes include “love, respect and optimism,” it’s possible Perry might perform upbeat, positive hits such as “Firework” or “Roar.”

It’s also possible she might perform a cover. In 2021, Perry released a cover of the Beatles’ “All You Need Is Love,” which would certainly fit the bill.
