MasterChef Australia fans angry after iconic Katy Perry Hot N Cold intro cut from show: ‘Ripped off!’
MasterChef Australia dropped the credits, much to the chagrin of viewers.
The reality cooking contest kicked off earlier with footage of contestants being introduced to Katy Perry’s upbeat single Hot N Cold.
The American pop star’s song is such an iconic addition to the series that she even appeared as a guest judge in 2020.
But the 2023 season dropped the trail, with each episode now starting with a recap before jumping straight into the action.
Channel Ten removed the track because licensing fees became too high, Yahoo Lifestyle claims.

Although international editions of MasterChef don’t use Katy Perry’s song in their intros, it was especially loved by the Aussie audience.
Fans watching at home were perplexed and disappointed by the decision, with some pointing out that it was now harder to remember the contestants’ names.
“I miss Katy Perry and contestants throwing food and using hibachis as an intro,” one person lamented on Twitter.
“Excuse me @masterchefau where’s our Katy Perry in this season?!” someone else asked.
Does Katy Perry actually know that Hot N Cold has been blackmailed? After all, she’s a friend of the show,” another wrote.

No Katy Perry intro. Swindled,” said another, while another chimed in, “I miss Katy Perry.”
“I’m still hot under the collar N it absolutely leaves me cold that #MasterChefAU can’t start with Katy Perry to get us in the mood,” said another.
“Without the Hot N Cold intro, I actually can’t remember most of the contestants’ names, mostly because they’re sick all the time. Bring back Katy Perry,” another person tweeted.
Not everyone missed Katy’s hit, one person tweeted, “I’m so glad we don’t have to hear that horrible Katy Perry song four times a week anymore.”
