Katy Perry talked friendships and random acts of kindness during a recent appearance on the "Ellen K Morning Show".

The singer, 34, shared that she recently bumped into Ariana Grande, 26, while they were both dining at a sushi restaurant, and the singer surprised her party with a sweet gesture.

"At the end of my long meal with Orlando and his son, we finished after an hour and a half and we asked for the check, and they're like, 'Ariana Grande has taken care of it.' And we're like, 'Oh my god! That's so cool!''" she shared, mentioning her fiancé Orlando Bloom.

She revealed that close friend Ryan Seacrest had also pulled off the surprise move. He picked up the tab at a group dinner she had in New York City with him and fellow "American Idol" judge Lionel Richie.

"He's tried and true. People just feel like he's a part of their family, and he never lets anyone down," she said about Seacrest.
