The US pop star, 39, who is headlining the pre-match show at the MCG ahead of the Brisbane Lions taking on the Sydney Swans, teased her fans in an Instagram clip.
The brunette beauty is seen visiting the penguin exhibit at Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium.
Katy was all smiles as she gushed over a baby King Penguin called Pesto, and entertained him by blowing some bubbles into his enclosure.
‘Visited Pesto last night. He told me who will win in the AFL grand final tomorrow but my lips are sealed,’ Katy wrote next to the footage.
Many of Katy’s followers quickly took to the comment section to express their appreciation over the adorable footage.
‘Pesto definitely wishes you good luck for the big gig tomorrow!’ wrote Sea Life Aquarium and another fan added: ‘The cutest thing on the internet.’
Although Katy did not reveal who she tips as the Grand Final winner, she has previously shown her support for the Brisbane Lions with her hit Roar becoming one of the club’s unofficial anthems.
Katy is reportedly being paid a staggering $5million to perform at the AFL Grand Final.
She was said to have been hopeful to perform several songs from her new album to the crowd, in an attempt to promote the LP.
However, AFL heads were said to have quickly knocked back the suggestion and told Perry to stick to her well-known hits from her previous album Teenage Dream.
Channel Nine reporter Tom Morris claimed that AFL big wigs told the hitmaker they expected her to perform her older hits, such as Firework and I Kissed A Girl.
Appearing on SEN Breakfast, the veteran AFL journalist claimed that Katy’s team had pushed back against an AFL request that the Teenage Dream hitmaker perform just one new song.
‘She’s playing about five songs and the AFL was very keen for her to play five classic tunes, she wanted to play two new ones,’ he said.
Tom added that both camps had reached a compromise with Katy reportedly agreeing to just one new track.
