A fan who repeatedly kissed Katy Perry's neck during a less-than-comfortable onstage encounter has spoken out about how her drunken demeanour was actually tiredness.

The incident took place at Rock In Rio festival on last Sunday (27 September) when Perry invited the fan, possibly named Rayane, it's hard to understand her, onto the stage.

Described as "rolling" by Perry, the fan seemed lost for words and balance as she clinged tight onto the popstar's person, kissing her neck and breaking every personal space boundary she could.

Since then, the fan has taken to Twitter to deny the reports that she was drunk. Instead vying for the always believable excuse that she was "exhausted" after having travelled from the singer's previous show in Sao Paulo prior to the show at Rio De Janeiro.

While the tweets are written in Portuguese the general gist is: "If they say I was drunk on laugh, they've never saw me drunk really, a thousand times more crazy,"

"The worst [part] is that I had to control the water I drank not to want to go to the bathroom."

Katy Perry recently fell into a media frenzy after posting a selfie onto a fan's WhatsApp which was then edited to suggest that the singer called the fan's boyfriend "a cunt". The incident has since been revisited and corrected.
