Meanwhile, some users criticized Katy’s security team for allowing the young fan to run up and grab her. “I’m sorry her security should’ve been stopped him… running up on someone like that is insane,” one tweet read. “security kinda did a bad job tho cause wdym a stranger able to get close into her? It could have gone differently,” said another.

Pop star Katy Perry has expressed her admiration for Pesto, a large king penguin chick at an Australian aquarium. During her visit to Melbourne for a performance, Perry excitedly revealed her desire to kiss the charming bird.

But, Katy had a different reaction when she realized it was a young boy. She got her security to let him go, and bent down to speak to him. Katy then offered him the slice of pizza, which he happily took.
