Katy Perry was presented with a gong in error at the NRJ Awards in France.

The singer collected the prize for Best International Song for 'I Kissed A Girl' at the country's main music awards ceremony, held in Cannes on Saturday.

However, the title should have gone to Rihanna for 'Disturbia', reports the BBC.

Host Nikos Aliagas blamed a mistake in the vote-counting for the blunder.
