The opening ceremony of the 2026 World Cup at SoFi Stadium (Los Angeles, USA) not only made its mark with large-scale performances, but also witnessed a surprise meeting between two generations of music stars: Katy Perry and Lisa (Blackpink).
After the grand opening night on the evening of June 12 (local time), a series of close behind-the-scenes moments with Lisa (Blackpink) shared by Katy Perry on her personal page with more than 196 million followers quickly attracted great attention across social networking sites.
Behind the SoFi stage, the two stars immediately became the focus when Katy Perry actively approached to hug and give Lisa many intimate gestures. Not only scoring points with her ingenuity when asking about the health of her "senior" in English, Lisa also spontaneously danced naturally in front of the camera with the voice of "Firework".
The comfort and friendliness of the music icon duo have created a valuable highlight behind the scenes of this year's World Cup.
Before having a reunion backstage, Katy Perry and Lisa both had performances invested in the SoFi stadium with a capacity of over 70,000 spectators.
Katy Perry affirmed the đẳng cấp (level/class) of a veteran star with her powerful voice and performance style that masters the big stage. Meanwhile, Lisa set a new milestone in her personal career when she became the next K-pop artist to perform at a World Cup.
The female idol had an energetic collaboration with Anitta and Rema in the title track "Goals", stirring up the atmosphere, and immediately entering the top global search trends.
The meeting between Katy Perry and Lisa at SoFi Stadium is not simply an interaction between two entertainment stars, but also a symbol of strong mass cultural exchange at a world-class sporting event.
