Katy Perry rocks the internet with penis-shaped dancers waving “eat me” fans on “SNL”

Last night’s Saturday Night Live episode was hosted by Spider-Man actor Willem Dafoe in his hosting debut, alongside singer and LGBTQ community advocate Katy Perry in her fifth appearance on the show.

Perry first performed her most recent single “When I’m Gone” with the song’s featured artist, Alesso, in addition to several background dancers — who were donning mushroom costumes that gave them a rather phallic appearance.

Whether intentional or not, Perry’s first half of her performance on SNL got viewers’ attention — for one reason or another.

Perry eventually sat on (the knee of) one of the performing mushrooms. The dancers also flashed hand fans that read “EAT ME” throughout their performance, which Rolling Stone deemed as “Alice in Wonderland-esque.”

I’m watching Katy Perry sing on SNL among a lineup of dancers dressed like mushrooms that look like penises – is not a sentence I expected to write in 2022.

@katyperry mushroom dancers on SNL have the most unfortunate phallic outfits. I wish I could tell you what the song is about but I can’t stop giggling like a 9 year old. Put some pants on those mushrooms
