Katy Perry has received countless gifts from fans throughout her career, but nothing prepared her for the unusual surprise handed to her during a recent fan meet-and-greet: a customized Labubu figure featuring her own face. The moment instantly went viral, capturing both the pop star’s shock and her signature sense of humor.
It happened backstage after one of her shows, when a fan shyly approached, holding a small, carefully wrapped box. Perry, known for her warm interactions with fans, opened it with curiosity—only for her eyes to widen as she pulled out a Labubu doll with unmistakable Katy Perry–inspired features. Complete with oversized eyes, dramatic lashes, and a bright pop-art smile, the figure looked like a whimsical, slightly mischievous version of the singer.
“Oh my god—is this me??” she laughed, lifting the toy up to the camera and turning it around in her hands. The fan explained that they had spent weeks customizing the collectible to match Perry’s look from one of her iconic music video eras. Far from creeped out, Katy embraced the strangeness with delight. “This is terrifying… and adorable. I love it,” she joked.
The interaction quickly spread across social media, especially within the collectible-toy community, where Labubu figures from the POP MART universe are known for their rarity and quirky charm. Fans praised the creativity behind the gift, calling it “the most Katy Perry thing ever received by Katy Perry.”
Industry observers noted how the moment highlighted Perry’s long-standing relationship with her fanbase — one built on playful eccentricity, shared creativity, and a willingness to embrace the unexpected.
In the end, Katy held the doll close and declared, “She’s coming home with me.”
A uniquely Katy moment, preserved in plastic and pure pop joy.
