After Perry performed for the small crowd, she did a bit Q&A portion, sharing that back then, someone had “sent me an email one time that [said],’Hey, take a look at this latest artist.

Perry continued, “It was a song called ‘Ocean Eyes,’ and it was only a blonde girl. And I used to be like, ‘Meh, boring.’”
The blonde girl was Eilish, who has since had many various hair colours. Perry now admits this was a “huge mistake, big mistake.”
She then joked, “Don’t let this hit the web.”

Her sophomore album Happier Than Ever hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2021. And the celebrities have since turn into friends, with Perry even making an appearance on Eilish’s Apple TV+ documentary The World’s a Little Blurry.
In a scene where the pair are at Coachella, Perry tells Eilish, “My fiancé who doesn’t take heed to modern music, he’ll only play you within the automobile on a regular basis.”
She goes on to hug the younger pop star, adding, “Congrats, I’m so happy with you. I desired to say, that is going to be wild for 10 years. In case you ever wanna talk… ’cause it is a weird ride.”
