Katy Perry isn't moping over the one that got away—she's getting back onstage!

The 27-year-old pop star has her first U.S. performances booked since  splitting with hubby Russell Brand: she'll hit the stage at a private pre-Super Bowl party in Indianapolis on Saturday and then she'll do double duty on Grammy weekend in L.A.

On Feb. 10, she'll be among the headliners honoring Paul McCartney at the at the MusiCares benefit (on a bill that includes Tony Bennett, Coldplay, Foo Fighters, Alison Krauss and Union Station, Norah Jones, Alicia Keys, James Taylor, Diana Krall and Neil Young) and then again at the 2012 Grammy Awards on Feb. 12!

Perry is a nominee for Record of the Year and Best Female Pop Solo Performance.

This isn't the first time the "Firework" singer has entertained a crowd after her breakup. In her first show since Brand filed for divorce, Perry planted a kiss on a lucky male fan's cheek.

A pic of Perry smooching the surprised, shirtless male onstage caused quite a stir on the internet. Was she already letting loose with new guys so soon after things ended with Brand? Perry set the record straight on Twitter.

"I have *kissed* 1 boy, picked randomly out of the audience, on the cheek as part of my show for all 125 tour dates," she tweeted. "Simmer down now."

Perry has stepped into the spotlight with a new man: her BFF, J. Molinari jewelry designer Markus Molinari. The duo walked the red carpet Friday in Las Vegas for a GiveLove charity event.

Wonder what lucky fellow will get a peck on the cheek at the Grammy Awards?
