Singer Katy Perry and Lisa meet.

On 13/6, Katy Perry posted a series of backstage photos on her Instagram account after performing at the opening ceremony. The images quickly sparked calls from fans for a musical collaboration between Katy Perry and Lisa. This enthusiasm echoes Katy Perry's 2020 statement in an interview with The Standard newspaper of Thailand, where she expressed readiness to collaborate with Blackpink if a suitable song was found.

Katy Perry's performance was a highlight of the ceremony, featuring her song "Wonder". She shared the stage with Tius Luka, who recorded the song with her in 2021 when he was five years old. "Wonder" is a gentle track that reflects on the innocence of childhood and the innate desire to explore life.

Lisa energized the audience with her song "Goals". Produced by Brazil's Tropkillaz, the track blends international music styles, creating an exciting and dynamic sound. The song embraces a multicultural approach, emphasizing the interplay between regions and celebrating the global spirit of football.
