Katy Perry brought plenty of fireworks as she performed her earworm-worthy pop anthems at Blenheim Palace.

The American pop star showcased her back catalogue on stage at the Oxfordshire Unesco world heritage site on Wednesday as part of the stately home's new summer music festival.

During her energetic set, Perry performed hits including California Gurls, Hot n Cold, I Kissed a Girl, Teenage Dream and Roar.

It was the fourth performance in the inaugural Blenheim Palace Festival, with Teddy Swims, Alanis Morissette and DJ Pete Tong also performing on previous days.

The festival, which began this year after the palace concluded hosting the Nocturne Live event in 2025, comes to a close on Saturday with a performance by Canadian crooner Michael Buble.
