Aug. 3 (UPI) -- Katy Perry put on a surprise show in Australia for a young fan with a brain tumor.

The 33-year-old singer visited Grace Moores at home this week after the 8-year-old missed her concert Monday in Adelaide due to a recent operation.

Perry shared the story in a series of videos Wednesday on Instagram. The clips show the star preparing for the visit and spending time with Grace and her family.

"Today is one of those days where I actually feel like a unicorn," Perry said in one video. "That's because I get to use my powers for good and meet someone named Grace who wasn't able to come to the show."
