The "Firework" singer, whose birthday was on Oct. 25, appears to have spent the milestone day alongside friends and loved ones with an Orient Express-themed party. The celebration, which Semafor reports took place across Europe, was held last weekend.
The Orient Express was a luxury train line that ran for over 80 years, stopping in Europe's most luxurious cities.
The iconic train is perhaps most famous for being featured in the 1934 mystery novel Murder on the Orient Express, which was made into a star-studded film featuring stars like Penélope Cruz, Michelle Pfeiffer and Daisy Ridley in 2017.

"We Orient Expressed our LOVE for the one and only @katyperry to celebrate her 40th trip around the Sun. If anyone knows how to throw a Party it's KP. #whataTRIP," he wrote in the caption.
