Katy Perry made one young fan’s dream come true in a heartwarming moment during her concert in Adelaide, Australia, on Thursday night.
Twelve-year-old Keegan Powers, who went viral earlier this year for his energetic dance moves at a Dua Lipa concert, had long wished to perform with the pop superstar and on June 26, that dream became reality.
“Keegan, this is your moment,” Perry, 40, told the visibly emotional fan after inviting him to join her on stage.
The young dancer, already a viral sensation, introduced himself to the cheering crowd and revealed, “I have been dreaming of this moment since literally the day I got tickets. I’ve been messaging Katy on Instagram since Oct. 1 of last year. I love Katy Perry!”
In a video shared by Glam Adelaide, Perry praised him as a star before encouraging him to show off his moves to her hit song Swish Swish. Keegan didn’t hold back performing flips, aerials, and even a flawless split that left both the audience and Perry in awe.
After his showstopping performance, Perry bowed before him, declaring to the crowd, “Adelaide, I feel like you have a star on your hands!”
Keegan, now an internet favourite once again, told Perry his ultimate dream is to go on tour and sell out arenas. “I just want to dance,” he said.
Keegan’s mother shared her gratitude online, saying: “This is my son and what an amazing lady Katy Perry is for making his dream come true. Absolutely incredible moment for him and us as a family. Proud ❤️❤️.”
The unforgettable moment not only lit up the stage but also reminded everyone in the crowd of the power of believing in your dreams and a little kindness from a superstar.
