KATY Perry has acquired a taste for one of Scotland’s national drinks since supping it on stage last week – and now she’s ordered crates of it to be sent to her record label in LA.

The California Gurl enjoyed a pint of Tennent’s finest backstage and was even caught on video drinking it while she was on stage at The Hydro.

The firm were so grateful for her interest they sent some to her backstage at Glasgow Green and she was spotted drinking it again behind the scenes at Radio 1’s Big Weekend.

Now Tennent’s have revealed that they received a request for 10 cases to be sent to Liz Hudson, via Katy’s LA record label address in Hollywood. Katy’s real name is Katherine Elizabeth Hudson.

A spokesman for the brewery said: “We got a really odd call this week after Katy Perry had spent time in Scotland. It was a phone call from an American woman asking us to send 10 cases of Tennent’s to an address in Hollywood.

“She said she was a big fan of Tennent’s and wanted to buy it so it wasn’t even as if she wanted a freebie.”

The man at the brewery who took the call joked about it being for Katy Perry when she gave him the address it was to be sent to in Hollywood but his joke was met by a stony silence.

The spokesman added: “The address they gave us turned out to be the building for Capitol Records and the name they gave us was Liz Hudson, which we discovered is Katy’s real name.

“The request was cloak-and-dagger but we’re 99.9 per cent sure it is Katy Perry. The gig was great and it’s brilliant she enjoyed her taste of Scotland in more ways than one.”

The brewery have distributors in the US and Canada so they can get the order to Katy and her crew swiftly – possibly before she returns from her tour of the UK and US.

Katy had a three-month teetotal detox after her split with Russell Brand but is making up for it as she appears to swig a pint with fans each night of her European tour.

The Tennent’s lager will be sent free of charge to the US superstar, despite her wishes to pay, and the firm have another suggestion. The spokesman said: “Maybe we should make the most of it and invite her to become a modern-day Lager Lovely. Imagine how popular that can would be?”
