Katy Perry seeks good fortune by placing her credit card in Rome’s iconic Trevi Fountain. The 41-year-old singer shared a playful video on Instagram Sunday during her Italy visit, singing ‘someone give me a penny’ while wearing a grey hoodie.
‘Y’all, I told you in “Save as Draft” that I don’t f**k with change,’ she said, referencing lyrics from her Witness album. Lacking coins, Perry tossed her credit card into the fountain for luck before quickly retrieving it. She captioned the post ‘Just Rome’ing around,’ including trip photos and videos.
Trevi Fountain Tradition
Completed in 1762, the Trevi Fountain attracts over 1,000 visitors hourly. Tourists traditionally toss coins to ensure return visits or good luck.
Rome Performances and Sights
Perry performed a private concert Saturday at La Nuvola, showcasing toned arms and midriff in a glittering bandeau top and black silk pants. Her hair slicked into a chic bun, she sang her 2010 hit ‘The One That Got Away.’ Backstage photos captured her with the crew.
She posed in front of St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City, wearing a black and white dress, playfully singing ‘Pope Leo, hallelujah.’
Family Moments
During the trip, Perry FaceTimed her five-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove, from a bath, covering her face with a shark emoji. She shares Daisy with ex-fiancé Orlando Bloom, 49; the pair split in 2025 after seven years together. Other shares included a marble bust and insect keychain.
Perry, currently dating former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, 54, continues enjoying her Roman getaway.
Ongoing Sexual Assault Investigation
The lighthearted post follows reports of an Australian police probe into 2010 sexual assault allegations by actress Ruby Rose, 40, which Perry denies. Rose claimed the incident occurred at a Melbourne nightclub.
Melbourne Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team detectives investigate the historical assault at a licensed CBD premises. A Victoria Police spokesman stated: ‘As the investigation remains ongoing, it would be inappropriate to comment further.’
Perry’s representative called the claims ‘categorically false’ and ‘dangerous, reckless lies,’ noting Rose’s history of similar social media accusations against others, often denied by those involved.
