SOUNDBITE: U.S Pop Singer, Katy Perry, saying (English):
"In Sao Paulo is a really pivotal moment where they were shouting 'we love you, Katy' or 'Katy, we love you'... that was one of the hardest shows I've ever done because it was a very difficult time in my life so I feel like I'm paying them back."
The heightened sentiments were echoed by fans.
SOUNDBITE: Katy Perry's Fan, Fabiana Lupi, saying (Portuguese):
"It is something that comes from inside you, it's absurd, it's love, a lot of love. I'm feeling a lot of emotions."

The movie is out now.
