“You guys raised me,” Perry told the enthusiastic crowd at the venue. “I thank you and I love you, you are my chosen family”

The singer then announced she’d be covering the bar bill for the next hour.

The tour will now head to Queensland for two nights at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, and the come to Perth for two nights at RAC Arena on June 22 and 23.
