YES, IT’S TRUE!! @katyperry & Daisy Dove Bloom visited MoPA this week. A handful of keen-eyed guests spotted the gorgeous duo exploring the Zoom Room, Painting the VW and singing along at the Dance Party. Thank you so much, Katy, for organising a trip to MoPA while visiting our great city of Melbourne — and for inspiring us all at your AMAZING concerts this week. Big love (til next time 😜). xx

((PS, thank you to our lovely Members who have just sent through some clips of Katy raving about MoPA at her Melbourne concert this week!!))
