At the lively Churros con Chocolate bash in Barcelona, Katy Perry brought the house down during the Pride celebration finale at La Terrazza. The pop superstar, celebrating her 39th birthday, made a thrilling announcement that electrified the crowd.
“Until 3:00, all drinks are on me!” she exclaimed from the stage on Sunday, July 21, prompting an uproar from her fans. Amidst the cheers, one audience member hesitantly asked, “Are you sure?” With a playful grin, Perry replied, “Honey, I’m rich!” This witty response only fueled the crowd’s excitement.

A TikTok clip capturing the moment quickly went viral, with fans flooding the comments. One user described it as “Iconic 😭,” while others celebrated her charm with comments like, “MOTHER IS MOTHERING,” and “Legend behavior.” One amused fan joked, “I would’ve been wasted in about 30 minutes chugging all the drinks I can,” and another appreciated the bravery of the one who asked, “That fan was so cute to ask actually, like I feel like that was so sweet❤️.” Conversations about Perry’s wealth also surfaced lightheartedly, with one commenter noting, “Doesn’t she get a $20mil paycheck from American Idol? 😭😭😭.”
This isn’t the first time Perry has doled out spontaneous generosity. Back in May 2018, at a charity show in Santa Barbara, she famously offered to buy everyone a beer, a gesture that she later joked about, saying it “cleared out the whole audience” as fans raced to grab their drinks.
Perry’s Barcelona performance kicked off her European promotional tour for her upcoming album, 143, set to drop on September 20. The evening was not short on surprises, with teasers of her new single “Lifetimes” adding to the festive atmosphere.
