Katy Perry's massive AFL payday revealed

Katy Perry is reportedly set to take home a huge sum for her AFL grand final performance at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Saturday. 

The AFL secured the Wide Awake singer as their headline pre-game entertainment act in July. 

Since then, there have been rumours of disagreements between Katy's team and organisers on the set list, but the pop star is still set to be paid $1 million for each song she performs. 

According to The Herald Sun, Katy will be paid $5 million for the event, as she will perform five songs on the night. She is also set to share the stage briefly with an Aussie female pop star, that is yet to be named, but is someone she "looks up to". 

During an appearance on Channel 10's The Project, Katy hinted that the mystery guest is a Scorpio, which could point to Delta Goodrem or Tina Arena. 

“She’s a Scorpio, that’s another hint for your digging,” she said when probed by The Project host Sarah Harris. 

Perry reportedly only recently settled the drama about which five songs she'll be performing according to footy journalist Tom Morris. 

Morris told SEN Breakfast on Monday that the AFL requested that she performed her popular hits from her older albums, but Katy's team was reported to have pushed back, as they wanted to perform two new songs from her comeback album 143

They eventually reached an agreement for Katy to perform just one new song.
