US pop star Katy Perry took to the streets of Glasgow earlier to see some of the sights ahead of her gig at the SSE Hydro.

The Firework singer couldn't resist soaking up at the Scottish sunshine before her world tour, Witness.

Kyle McGhee, who was enjoying the sun himself in a city centre spot beside the River Clyde, couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the singer mingling with locals right in front of him.

Kyle told Glasgow Live : "She cycled by with what looked like her pals or tour crew or whatever.

"Then she cycled back and started speaking to [a group of people].

"The group realised who she was and ran over, some of them were crying and all sorts.

"She was just chatting by the looks of it.

"One of the boys was shouting it was her and then I realised it actually was her".

Perry is also believed to have handed out free tickets to fans ahead of tonight's gig.

The American was reportedly spotted in Taco Bell in Sauchiehall Street on Saturday night, having arrived in Glasgow for the show.
