Katy Perry Performs 'Bon Appetit' With Migos & 'Swish Swish' On 'SNL' (VIDEOS)

Katy Perry performed “Bon Appetit” on this week’s “SNL” with Migos. The song is off her upcoming album, Witness. Earlier, Perry sang “Swish Swish” on “SNL.” 

As Gossip Cop noted, this marks the third time Perry has been the musical guest on “SNL.” She first performed on the sketch comedy show in 2010 when Amy Poehler was the host. And Perry returned three years later to sing on an episode hosted by Bruce Willis. She was, however, on “Saturday Night Live” another time as the program’s host in 2011, but left the musical performances to Robyn.

The video for “Bon Appetit” was released a week ago, and has already been viewed more than 60 million times. In the video, Perry is used as an ingredient by nine chefs, who first dump her in a nude leotard into flour and rub it all over her as they knead her body as it if were dough. Next, they dump chopped carrots, celery, onions, parsnips, shallots and other vegetables onto her body before pouring her into a boiling pot to make soup. Perry is then placed on a platter, from which she later gets up and does a pole dance, like a stripper, for Migos. At the end of the video, parts of Perry’s body, including her feet, ears and fingers, are served in a cherry pie.

Perry also performed "Swish Swish." While appearing on Friday’s “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” the singer said the song is really “a great anthem for whenever anyone is trying to hold you down or bully you.” She added, “‘Swish’ represents the liberation from all the negative that doesn’t serve you.” Perry noted her album Witness is all about liberation. She said of the two previously released tracks, “‘Chained To The Rhythm’ was this political liberation. ‘Bon Appetit’ was a sexual liberation.”

In support of Witness, Perry will kick off a North American tour, beginning in Columbus on September 7. The musician will then perform through February in a slew of major cities, including New York, Miami, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago and Los Angeles. But first, Perry heads to the UK to headline Radio 1’s Big Weekend concert next weekend. She’ll also perform a few weeks later at the Glastonbury Festival.
