Katy Perry has surprised some fans Down Under with a very unlikely friendship.
The Roar hitmaker, 39, is in Melbourne ahead of the AFL Grand Final match between Brisbane Lions and Sydney Swans on the weekend.
And the singer was spotted socialising with Australian TikTok and OnlyFans star Anna Paul.
In a post shared to Anna’s Instagram, a single photo showed the pair walking through a hotel lobby.
Katy was dressed in a form-fitting dress with streaks of black, yellow, and blue colouring the fabric.
Meanwhile, Anna wore a grey blazer over a short, black pleated skirt.
The newfound friends looked engrossed in conversation as they walked arm-in-arm through the opulent surroundings.
Anna captioned her post, ‘Yap session,’ and tagged the pop superstar.

‘No freaking way,’ one user exclaimed, while another wrote, ‘You’re joking?!’
Another said: ‘This is the most random crossover episode ever.’
‘I fear this might be the most iconic thing to ever happen in Australia,’ added on fan.
It comes as the pop star appeared to have butt heads with the AFL ahead of her performance at this year’s Grand Final in Melbourne.

The Teenage Dream songstress was announced as the headline pre-game act for next weekend’s clash back in July.
Appearing on SEN Breakfast on Monday, veteran AFL journalist said Tom Morris claimed that Katy’s team had pushed back against an AFL request that she perform just one new song.
‘She’s playing about five songs and the AFL was very keen for her to play five classic tunes, she wanted to play two new ones,’ he said.
Tom added that both camps had reached a compromise with Katy reportedly agreeing to just one new track.
‘In the end they met halfway and she’s playing one new song and four classics,’ he said.
Co-host and AFL great Kane Cornes, admitting he was a Katy Perry fan, added that the AFL should have a say in the planning of the blockbuster stadium show.
While there was some back and forth, both camps had reached a compromise with Katy reportedly agreeing to just one new track
‘The AFL are saying: “We only want your hits. We only want your bangers. We only want your best stuff”‘ he said.
‘We want Roar, We want Teenage Dream, we want Firework. They want all the songs we know and love. And she’s pushed back and said, “No, no I want to play two of my new songs.”
He added: ‘You know when you go to a concert and maybe they’re old and all you want is their good stuff. You just want their greatest hits.
‘That’s what the AFL have requested with Katy Perry. And she’s gone: “clearly, I want to promote some of my new music.”’
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to the AFL for comment.
Katy released her latest album 143 last week, which contains the controversial first single Woman’s World and follow up Lifetimes.
