The Roar hitmaker is known in China as Shui Guo Jie, which means "Fruit Sister," because of her brightly colored ensembles. That popularity drew her to China the first time in 2015, which she held concerts in Guangzhou, Macau, and Shanghai as part of her Prismatic World Tour, Alizila reported.

Meanwhile, Hollywood producer David Hill, famous for his works on the Oscars, NFL Super Bowls, and reality singing competition American Idol, has also been reportedly tapped to direct the show. Alibaba is yet to release the list of stars expected to perform.

Last year's gala was held at the Water Cube in Beijing. The show was graced by the presence of international celebrities including American singer Adam Lambert, British actor Daniel Craig, Chinese boy band TFBOYS, Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai, and Korean pop star Rain.
