The singer is making her musical comeback and wants to perform new single Rise at the event next month.
She is currently in talks with organisers, who are hoping she will address her feud with Taylor Swift, which was brought back into the limelight yet again last week.
A source said: "Katy's been gearing up for her musical comeback for months and this would be the perfect way to launch herself back on the big stage. The talks are in early stages but both parties are keen for it to happen.
He adds, "Her record label Capitol has backed her by pumping in millions to ensure her new album is her best yet. Given the amount of material she has at her disposal, especially her reaction to Taylor's diss track Bad Blood, you can see why it's so highly anticipated."
Katy and Taylor fell out in 2012 when Katy allegedly stole the latter's back dancers for her Prism tour. Taylor, 26, then hit back by basing her song Bad Blood on their fall out.
Last week, Katy found herself embroiled in a battle again after Taylor's ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris hit out at his former lover on Twitter.
