Pop star Katy Perry (41) captivates attention by performing a bold "good luck" ritual in Rome, Italy, even amid the unsettling situation of being questioned by police over sexual assault allegations.
On the 20th (local time), Katy Perry posted a video on her social media showing her visit to the Trevi Fountain in Rome. In the video, Perry appears in a gray hoodie standing in front of the fountain singing "somebody give me a coin."
Unlike tourists who usually toss coins while wishing for good luck, Perry referenced the lyrics of her song "Save as Draft" ("I don't like change (coins)") and took an unusual action. Lacking spare change in her pockets, she unexpectedly dipped her credit card into the fountain water for a moment instead of a coin and then pulled it out.
She joked, "I needed luck so I had to dip something," and showed a relaxed demeanor as she quickly snatched the card before it floated away. The video, released with the witty caption "Just Rome'ing around," immediately captured the attention of fans worldwide.
During this visit to Rome, Perry also performed at a private concert. Wearing a sparkling bandeau top paired with black silk pants, she showed off a toned midsection and slim figure that made her 41 years hard to believe.
Particularly notable is that she is reportedly dating former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau (54); she also appeared gracefully in a black-and-white dress in front of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. While traveling, she warmed hearts by video-calling her five-year-old daughter Daisy Dove, whom she had with ex-fiancé actor Orlando Bloom, showing her doting "daughter-obsessed" side.
Meanwhile, Perry currently finds herself at the center of legal controversy. Recently, Australian actor Ruby Rose (40) filed a police complaint alleging that Perry sexually assaulted her at a Melbourne club in 2010.
The Victoria Police in Australia have launched a full investigation into the incident. Perry's spokesperson strongly denied the allegation, saying, "Ruby Rose's claim is a clear falsehood and a dangerous and irresponsible lie." The spokesperson also denied the allegations outright, saying, "Rose has a history of making baseless disclosures about multiple people."
