Grammy Awards 2012: Katy Perry performs new single 'Part of Me'

Katy Perry has performed her new single 'Part of Me' at the 54th Grammy Awards.

The singer, who reached a divorce settlement with ex-husband Russell Brand earlier this month, kicked off her performance with 'E.T.' before the lights at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles blacked out and the song was cut off.

Perry then descended from the ceiling in a transparent cube, performing her new single 'Part of Me', which is to be released tomorrow (February 13) as part of Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection.

"You chewed me up and spit me out, like I was poison in your mouth," Perry sang.

Fire lit up the stage as the cube shattered around Perry and the singer stepped out in a gold bodysuit that resembled armor.

"This is the part of me that you're never ever gonna take away from me," she continued.

Perry married Brand in October 2010.
