Awkward encounter between Katy Perry and Robert Irwin
Katy Perry stopped by Australia Zoo on the Queensland leg of her Lifetimes Tour and shared on social media a string of pictures showing her alongside a koala, kangaroo, a rhino and Robert Irwin.
The US singer posted a video to her Instagram story of her walking up to Irwin in his Australia Zoo uniform and encouraging him to practice dancing with her ahead of his upcoming appearance on US Dancing With the Stars.
'I thought that maybe we should do a practice round here at Australia Zoo' Perry announced while putting her arm around Irwin.

They then attempted to waltz together awkwardly before Perry requests a 'dip' and Irwin gently drops her on the floor.
'Maybe stick with the animals' she joked as Irwin helped her off the floor.
It seems that Perry has since deleted the video from her TikTok account.

Perry has already played to sold-out arenas in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth during her Aussie tour. She has now left Perth and is due in for her final Aussie dates on June 26, 27, and 29.
Rumours have been circling that Perry and her long-term partner, Orlando Bloom, are on the rocks.
Bloom was photographed walking through the Perth CBD on Sunday ahead of Perry's show at the RAC Arena, with their daughter on his shoulders but Perry was nowhere to be seen.

Perry's two Perth shows were largely well-received — headlined by flashy visuals, sky-high acrobatics and fan cameos on stage.
She invited 16-year-old Armadale local, Archie Richards, on to the stage to rap with her after he caught her attention with his Menu log 'Sandwich board' outfit.
After sharing the stage with his idol on Sunday night, Archie told PerthNow the experience 'didn't feel real.'
