Katya Perry was a silver vision for the World Cup 2026 opening ceremony.
The 41-year-old pop star performed her song ‘Wonder’ from her 2024 album 143 during the Parade of Nations ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Group D match between the USA and Paraguay at Los Angeles Stadium in Los Angeles on Friday (June 12).
For the occasion, Katja wore a peplum dress with sequin fringe from the Stella McCartney FW26 collection.
She sang together with the 10-year-old Norwegian singer Tius Lukawho sang the opening and closing lines of the song. He recorded the song with her in 2021, when he was just 5 years old, according to a post she shared Instagram.
“I heard his voice in 2023 and was inspired to write the verses for ‘Wonder’ and add them to my sixth album. Tius is now 10 and flew all the way to LA from Norway to sing this song with me,’ Katja wrote in the text in the video.
Later she was spotted while sitting in the stands next to boyfriend Justin Trudeau as the pair watched the match.
Earlier this week, she and Justin made their red carpet debut together at the 2026 Tribeca Festival for the premiere of her new concert film Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour – Live in Paris.
