Katy Perry decided to play an interesting new game that took a particularly unexpected turn.
In a funny Instagram reel posted on Tuesday, Nov. 25, the singer, 41, introduced a game called “Is it cardboard or is it cake?” in which she guessed whether a microphone stand was made up of one or the other.
The “Bandaids” singer was seen in the clip sitting on a table in a hotel room beside a model of a microphone stand with butterfly wings, similar to the one Perry has used onstage on tour.
“Hi, I’m in Shanghai and welcome to my episode of Is This Cardboard or Is This Cake?” Perry said to the camera, She then took a big bite out of the microphone, before quickly spitting it out.
“Oh f—, it’s cardboard!” Perry said as laughs could be heard in the background.
Perry’s latest video comes after she performed the first of three shows on The Lifetimes Tour in Shanghai on Tuesday, Nov. 24.
The award-winning artist recently shared another video of her enjoying a real cake this time, while celebrating her 41st birthday on tour last month.
In the clip posted on Oct. 28, Perry was seen blowing out candles on a giant birthday cake while backstage with her tour crew. She then ran towards a crew member holding the cake and threw it at them. The crew member ducked, causing the cake to fall on the floor.
A few crew members were then seen picking up pieces of the smashed cake off the floor and eating it.
