Pop star Katy Perry on Saturday performed at the OnePlus Music Festival in Mumbai. The singer crooned hits like “One That Got Away”, “Firework” and “Roar” among more at the concert.
At the OnePlus Music Festival, Katy said, “I am told this is your winter. And, knowing about the money and traffic, you should give yourself a round of applause. We love you and that’s why we are here. We never want to forget you. It has been seven years since I was last in India. I can’t believe myself. Look at how many people showed up. So, it is not going to be seven more years for me to come back.”
Before Katy Perry hit the stage, Dua Lipa, Amit Trivedi, Ritviz, The Local Train and Aswekeepsearching entertained the audience at OnePlus Music Festival.
Katy performed in India after seven years. She had previously performed at the opening ceremony of 2012 Indian Premier League in Chennai. The show also saw the singer shake a leg with actors like Salman Khan, Priyanka Chopra and Amitabh Bachchan.
OnePlus Music Festival was held at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai.
"Mumbai, thank you for coming out tonight. Thank you for starting the OnePlus Music Festival. I hope these next two songs are the last two songs for tonight. If you are looking for some inspiration, these two songs are the songs. I know you guys are all strangers. But become a community, and sing these last two songs with me. You feel so disconnected some times. You feel you are always on your phone. You never go out. You never socialise. But let's change it for the last two songs," says Katy Perry.
"We are going to sing something that we have never sung before. The new song is called "Why don't you take me for a ride"," says Katy Perry.

"This is the first OnePlus Music Festival. I will always say that I started the OnePlus Music Festival. Remember you were a part of it," says Katy Perry.
"How many people enjoyed Dua Lipa's performance? I have a crush on Dua Lipa. How many of you have a crush on Dua Lipa? If we both were together, would you ship us? But that's not possible. I am promised to someone else," says Katy Perry.
"Thank you so much Mumbai. Are you having a lot of fun? I think I have swallowed some flies. Every time I open my mouth, I swallow a bug. I think it is like initiation. Raise your hands if you travelled two hours for the show. Me too. Raise you hands if you travelled five hours for the show. Raise you hands if you travelled 10 hours for the show, or fifteen. So let's make this travel worth it," says Katy Perry.

"I am told this is your winter. And, knowing about the money and traffic, you should give yourself a round of applause. We love you and that's why we are here. We never want to forget you. It has been seven years since I was last in India. I can't believe myself. Look at how many people showed up. So, it is not going to be seven more years for me to come back. I would like to dedicate this song to you. This song will cool or heat you up," says Katy Perry.
