Los Angeles, March 6 (IANS): Pop superstar Katy Perry left an Australian TV show team in hysterics when she mispronounced the names of some of the country's most famous cities while reading the weather forecast.

The 29-year-old was asked to read out the forecast during her appearance on Channel 7's show “Sunrise”, where she incorrectly pronounced the names of some of Australia's best-known destinations, reports contactmusic.com.

The “Sunrise” team laughed when she said the name Cairns wrong and burst into hysterical laughter when she pronounced the country's capital city, Canberra, as "Curnaberra".

The presenters stepped in to correct her before Perry went on to give the forecast for "Hogwarts" - apparently confusing the city of Hobart with the fictional school from the Harry Potter series.

The singer ended her forecast by telling the audience, "If you didn't understand all this then you have an app on your phone (to find out the weather)."
