“When there’s multiple people together, it almost amplifies the energy, and then you walk around thinking you’re bigger than you actually are,” Ora joked about the star-studded crowd at Swift’s gig.
Rita Ora is reminiscing about attending Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour with Katy Perry.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the “Anywhere” singer, 33, shared about attending Swift’s first Sydney, Australia show on February 23 alongside her good friend Perry, 39.
“That’s my buddy,” Ora said of the “Roar” hitmaker, adding: “The pop girls have really come together on that one.”
Explaining how her attending the Eras Tour with Perry came about, Ora recalled, “We were in Australia and we were both doing separate jobs, and obviously everyone in the world has seen the Eras Tour.”
“So I went and I really wanted to just hang out,” the musician — who attended the gig with her husband, Taika Waititi — told host Jimmy Fallon.
Ora then joked about the attention they received at the show, saying, “It was so crazy because I guess when there’s multiple people together, it almost amplifies the energy, and then you walk around thinking you’re bigger than you actually are.”
“It was really cool because it was the first time I’ve seen her in ages and she’s putting out music, and you know, everyone’s just doing their thing,” Ora said of Perry.
Both Ora and Perry shared some highlights from the outing on Instagram. Ora posed alongside Swift, 34, and Waititi, 48, in one photo.
Among the carousel of images, Ora also posted a couple of pictures with Perry, while another shot showed her posing with Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce.
Ora shared several friendship bracelets in another selfie and posted a photo from the show and a video of Swift performing “Bad Blood.”
“It’s fair to say Sydney 🇦🇺 always delivers – Or shall we say our TayTay @taylorswift always delivers! thank you for having us! Seeing my KP @katyperry made my heart 🥹 too many queens to count!” Ora captioned the post.
Perry also shared a selfie with Swift on her own Instagram profile, posting a clip of her and Ora singing along to “You Belong With Me,” as well as other memorable moments from the gig.
“Got to see an old friend shine tonight♥️✨,” Perry captioned the post, which included a video of her mouthing the lyrics to “Bad Blood” with a surprised expression.
Perry and Swift have now buried the hatchet and put their differences aside after years of a complicated relationship, which seemingly inspired “Bad Blood” and Perry’s track “Swish Swish.”
In an interview on the Howard Stern Show in 2020, Perry said the duo buried the hatchet publicly to set “an example” for their younger fans. “Gossip in life can take the elevator but the truth takes the stairs. It just takes time,” she said. Adding: “What I’m so grateful for is we did get to make up publicly and got to be an example of redemption for young girls.”
