Katy Perry And More Will Perform At Lazada’s 9th Birthday Concert

In 2019, Alibaba had female singing icon Taylor Swift perform at its Singles Day event, to kick off the world’s biggest online shopping festival, so it’s only appropriate that Lazada, Alibaba’s e-Commerce darling in Southeast Asia, tap on Swift’s friend and fellow singing sensation, Katy Perry, to kick off the company’s ninth birthday on 27 March, with a free virtual concert headlined by the award-winning singer, as well as beloved k-pop group, NCT Dream, and regional singing acts including Singapore performers Nathan Hartono and Jasmine Sokko, beatboxer Dharni, and comedienne Sharul Channa

The live stream starts on 26 March, from 9.30pm to 12am, exclusively via LazLive, the company’s livestreaming platform available via the Lazada app.

The American singer/songwriter has been under the radar for a hot minute, after the recent  birth of her daughter, Daisy. Prior to the pandemic, she released her new compilation album, Cosmic Energy, which revisits some of her best-selling songs, including E.T., By The Grace Of God, and Wide Awake. We don’t have an indication on how many songs, or what songs she will be performing, but in a teaser for her performance, Lazada has an exclusive Q&A video with the pop start, which gives fans some insight about her and her life after the pandemic.

For fans who prefer their acts to be closer to home, there’s Korea’s top-performing K-pop group, NCT Dream, who are known for their hit albums We Go Up (2018) and We Boom (2019). Did you know that the seven-member band are all under the age of 19, and are the only Asian artists to appear on Billboard’s “21 under 21” list three years in a row since 2018.

Also performing are home-grown talents like Nathan Hartono and Jasmine Sokko, an up and coming electronic song-writer, singer and producer. Hartono has been in the spotlight recently making his appearance during Disney+’s Singapore launch extravaganza, while Sokko is in the process of reinvention dropping her new single “Medusa” earlier in March 2021.

If you want a preview of what to expect from the two and a half-hour livestream concert, Lazada has even built a Spotify playlist for attendees, to get fans and shoppers in the mood for Lazada’s Super Party lineup before the night itself.
