Katy Perry faced relentless teasing tonight after she accidentally used the wrong flag while expressing her support for England in the Euro final. The 39-year-old “Teenage Dream” singer was clearly excited as England faced Spain in Berlin, posting on X (formerly Twitter) that “football is coming home” with a United Kingdom flag emoji.
Fans were quick to spot the error, pointing out that it was England playing, not the UK. One user responded with crying laughing emojis, saying, “Katy, it’s [England flag]. Quite sure that the rest of the UK won’t be cheering for England.” Another sassily remarked, “Thanks sis, next time try to use the correct flag.” A third wrote, “Yes, but [England flag].”
Despite the mix-up, it was a crucial evening for the England team, with numerous celebrity supporters rallying behind them. Piers Morgan, a frequent critic of Gareth Southgate’s squad, traveled to Germany in his private jet with his two sons. Before the match, he shared a photo, writing, “Berlin-bound. #ItsComingHome.” He later posted a photo from the stadium, urging, “Come on England… bring the bloody thing home!”
On his way into the stadium, Piers ran into ITV colleagues Ben Shephard and Chris Kamara. He posted a photo of the trio, joking, “Met some fans on the way into the stadium.. who are so happy to see me!”
Despite the flag blunder, Katy Perry’s enthusiasm for the game was evident, joining a host of celebrities in cheering for England.
