Hold everything, it’s that time of the year again. The Indian Premiere League kicks off tonight with the opening ceremony featuring performances by Amitabh Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra, Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor and of course Katy Perry, who’s performing in India for the first time. She’s clearly into Indian culture, considering she married ex-husband Russell Brand here. So despite landing in India only last night, looks like she’s already trying to immerse herself in the Indian experience – except something seems to be getting in the way.

Aah, good ol’ jetlag. As someone who has taken those very flights many times, I feel ya, Katy! But she does seem to be excited and liking it so far:

She’ll be practicing during the morning and afternoon, and of course the live performance tonight at 7:30pm on SET MAX! Will she live up to all the hype surrounding her visit and first performance in India? That remains to be seen, but I can tell you that somehow the Katy Perry fever seems to be spreading already:

Um, yeah. Imagine my surprise when I tried to enter my building last night and found my watchman – who usually listens to old Hindi songs – bobbing his head to Teenage Dream. Guess that’s what the IPL will do to you. In any case, it promises to be a great show (Amitabh Bachchan and Katy Perry on the same stage? Hell yeah!) so we can’t wait, and we’ll bring you all the post-event deets as well!
