Katy Perry, wearing a 40-pound chandelier, is literally lit at the Met Gala

How do you follow Lady Gaga's four red carpet changes and an instantly meme-worthy Celine Dion?

If you're Katy Perry, you get lit.

Literally.

The pop star showed up at the 2019 Met Gala in a full-on chandelier, which, yes, actually glowed. 

“There is a built-in corset consisting of 18 steel bones and two hidden battery packs to illuminate the lights,” Moschino designer Jeremy Scott told Vogue. “I mean who wants to wear a chandelier that doesn't light up!”

Could she sit in it? No. Could she walk in it? Carefully. 

"I'm retiring the word 'lit' tonight!" she told reporters, after successfully making it up the Met Gala stairs in the 40-pound ensemble.

Inside the gala it got even better, with Perry belting out Sia's "Chandelier."
