Katy Perry put on a 'sexy corporate' show on Thursday.

The 32-year-old was the lead performer for YouTube's Brandcast event in New York.

After listening to Google's spiel on why advertisers should spend money on the video-sharing website rather than conventional TV, the California Gurl was trotted out before the 2,800 crowd.

Sexy/corporate: Katy Perry performed at YouTube's Brandcast event in New York on Thursday night

'You only get one life, so you should love what you do,' she not-quite-convincingly told the audience.

'This is corporate event, but we can still feel a little sexy,' she declared. 'I know it's strange to be sexy and corporate.'

Rocking her new blonde cropped do, she wore an all-pastel pink leather outfit of suspenders, bodysuit and blazer.

She then kicked into renditions of Chained To The Rhythm, Dark Horse, Teenage Dream and Firework.

I'm lovin it: 'You only get one life, so you should love what you do,' she not-quite-convincingly told the audience

If you say so: 'This is corporate event, but we can still feel a little sexy,' she declared. 'I know it's strange to be sexy and corporate.'

She also performed the brand new single - Bon Apetite - which she had debuted at Monday's Met Gala.

The show featured quirky body-stockinged dancers who leapt in and out of revolving oval doors, or at one stage just their groping arms protruding.

The set seemed to distract the songstress a bit, even missing her cue at the start of Dark Horse as the backing vocals snag on without her.

She was introduced to the stage by James Corden, who described her as 'the first artist ever to have more than one video with over a billion views.'
