Katy Perry put on a show-stopping performance at this year's MTV Video Music Award s, and viewers are certainly in their feels.
The "Woman's World" singer took the stage during the VMAs ceremony at New York's UBS Arena on Wednesday, Sept. 11, where she sang a medley of some of the biggest hits from her career, including "Extraterrestrial," "California Gurls," "Teenage Dream," "I Kissed a Girl" and "Firework."
Before she even left the stage, several fans took to social media to share their unfiltered thoughts on Perry's performance, with some users online saying it was one of the best shows she's ever given.
"Katy Perry is putting in 1 of the best live performances I’ve ever seen in n in my life. EVER," one viewer wrote via X (formerly Twitter).

"Katy Perry lowkey eating everyone up #VMA," a second suggested .
"Katy Perry opening her VMA speech after an insane performance by saying '& I did that all on the first day of my period can you believe it?' is the most relatable sh*t I’ve heard all night," another gushed .
"this is so nostalgic," someone else wrote in part.
"Watching the VMA’s and @katyperry slayed her performance! Congrats on the Vanguard award!" a different fan exclaimed . "Added bonus was the cuteness of Orlando Bloom praising her! #VMAs #MTV."
In addition to being a performer at the ceremony, Perry was also honored with the Video Vanguard Award this year, an award given to an artist in recognition of "outstanding contributions" and "profound impact" on music videos and pop culture, according to the Billboard website. Other stars who have previously accepted the honor include Madonna (1986), Michael Jackson (1988), Britney Spears (2011), Beyoncé (2014) and most recently, Shakira in 2023.
Perry also has an impressive amount of VMAs under her belt already, taking home five Moonperson trophies throughout her dominant career, including a Video of the Year win with "Firework" in 2011.
The singer—who has performed several times on the VMA stage, making her debut in 2009—also hosted the ceremony back in 2017, which means she is about to become the first artist in VMAs history to host the ceremony and receive both of the show's marquee awards.
Now that deserves a " Roar " of applause!
