It’s all falling apart.

Katy Perry was supposed to perform at the infamous Victoria’s Secret fashion show, however she has been be banned from China.

The lingerie show is taking place in Shanghai on Monday, but many people along with Katy have been denied access to the country, including Gigi Hadid.

A source told Page Six that she applied for a Visa to enter to country, but it was denied by Chinese officials.

Apparently, she was banned because she wore a sunflower dress in 2015. The sunflower was adopted by anti-China protesters the year before.

The insider said: “She was initially granted a visa to perform at the VS show in Shanghai, then Chinese officials changed their minds and yanked her visa.

“For every artist who wants to perform in China, officials comb through their social-media and press reports to see if they have done anything deemed to be offensive to the country.”

They added: “Maroon 5 was banned a few years ago because one band member wished the Dalai Lama happy birthday on Twitter.”
