Katy Perry was reportedly involved in a contentious exchange with another woman, as captured in a video that has since gained widespread attention.
This incident is believed to have occurred during Perry’s 40th birthday celebration on October 25.
To mark the milestone, the ‘Roar’ singer organized a 1940s-themed event at the Ritz-Carlton in Geneva, Switzerland.
Perry is reported to have rented CERN’s Globe of Science and Innovation for her event, where her guests enjoyed a private tour of the research facility, followed by boat rides on Lake Geneva, according to The Standard.
However, the festivities appeared to take a negative turn when the singer was seen having a disagreement with a staff member.
In a widely circulated video, a woman can be heard mentioning a “terrible mistake.”
Perry reportedly responded, “It wasn’t just a CNTRL ALT DELETE, b*tch.”
The footage was initially shared on Instagram by fashion director Breck Lombardi, who attended Perry’s celebration.

Some individuals on social media speculated that the incident was linked to Katy Perry’s collaboration with Dr. Luke, a partnership that has drawn criticism in light of Kesha’s allegations against the producer regarding ‘sexual, physical, and emotional abuse.’ However, it is believed that the incident was entirely unrelated.
In reality, the event is reported to have been part of a 1940s-themed celebration for Perry’s birthday.
Allegedly, she hosted a Murder on the Orient Express-themed party aboard a train traveling through Europe.
Film costume designer Johnny Wujek shared images from the exclusive event on Instagram, showcasing himself and other attendees dressed in period attire while enjoying the festivities on the train.
He captioned a series of photos: “We Orient Expressed our LOVE for the one and only @katyperry to celebrate her 40th trip around the Sun. If anyone knows how to throw a Party it’s KP.”
In the wake of the viral clip featuring Perry, her supporters promptly rallied to defend her by clarifying the context of the incident.
“She is essentially participating in a Cluedo-themed train experience,” remarked one individual.
Another commenter stated, “I regret to be the one to say this, but is there any possibility that this confrontation was orchestrated?”
A different user on Twitter contended, “Someone should note this situation. This is her murder mystery birthday celebration.”
“Clearly, this is some form of murder mystery event or dinner,” another observer noted.
“You can observe the laughter from those around them and the fact that everyone is dressed in costume.”
