During her recent concert, Katy Perry found herself in one of those moments that could hardly have been part of the script. Amid the cheers, music and excitement of thousands of people, the singer began hearing a phrase that immediately caught her attention. At first, she tried to continue with the show, but it was repeated so many times that she eventually stopped.
Katy wanted to know what was going on.
The singer looked toward the crowd and, still surprised by what she thought she had heard, decided to ask them directly. “Are you calling me a ‘whore’?”

The question immediately sparked a reaction. But there was one detail Perry still did not understand: the crowd was not saying what she thought she had heard.
Rather than simply letting the moment pass, the singer kept trying to figure out what she was hearing from the audience. The chants continued as Perry searched for an explanation to a situation that, from the stage, seemed increasingly strange.
And then the real reason behind it all became clear.
What thousands of people were chanting was “¡Mucha ropa! ¡Mucha ropa!”, which translates to “A lot of clothes! A lot of clothes!”
Where did it happen?
The scene took place on August 25, 2026, during Katy Perry’s free concert at the Feria Nacional Potosina (FENAPO) in San Luis Potosí, Mexico. The performance drew more than 310,000 people, according to a figure reported by Billboard based on data from the organizers.
The singer still has several major commitments ahead following her performance in Mexico. Her next major appearance will be on Friday, September 25, 2026, when she joins the official entertainment lineup for Formula 1’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix weekend at Baku Crystal Hall in Baku.
