‘I’ve got some surprises coming,’ Katy told host Jackie after she asked the Firework singer, ‘When are we going to get new music from you?’
‘Australia has been one of the most supportive, incredible places in the world for me and my music,’ Katy said.
‘You guys have always been so receiving of my music and shown up, so, you know, if I bring a little extra something to Australia it’s because you deserve it,’ she added.

Katy’s announced her ICC show in November last year by posting a cheeky clip to her Instagram teasing the performance.
In the footage, Katy tells fans: ‘So I have an idea for what we can do for International Women’s Day, adding: ‘Why don’t you join me on March 8, 2020 to celebrate women and maybe we can make it the biggest turn out for a female sporting event ever. See you there!’
She captioned the post: ‘Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi! Let’s break some records… We’ll Roar in support of these awesome women on International Women’s Day!’

Shortly after, in an interview with The Daily Telegraph later that month, the California Girl hitmaker revealed supporting the event was empowering.
‘To be able to be part of this women’s championship final on International Women’s Day is so special to me. Any empowerment I can provide for the cause of equality is one I want to be a part of.’
The Grammy-award nominee, who has a staggering nine Number-one hits on the Billboard 100 has toured Australia multiple times throughout her career.

For the first time, the ICC Women’s and Men’s T20 World Cups will be held as standalone events in the same country – and in the same year. The 10 best women’s teams will compete in 23 matches from 21 February – 8 March 2020.
The event will be held at Melbourne’s MCG and will also see audiences be part of a World Record attempt for Attendance at a Women’s Sporting Event, which was previously set at the FIFA Women’s World Cup in California in 1999.
