Katy Perry 2024 VMA Performance
Times of discover News: Katy Perry made everyone feel like it was “Last Friday Night” by singing her MTV Video Vanguard Award performance at the 2024 Video Music Awards at the UBS Arena in New York. The 39-year-old singer joins a list of 35 other musicians honored with the award, including artists like Shakira, whose award recognizes her real name, Katheryn Hudson. During the speech, she mocked a comment she made about washing dishes in a recent interview with “Call Her Daddy.”
The 47-year-old actor took the stage to present the Video Vanguard Award. In his speech, he shared, “You know her as a global superstar… I know her as a mother, as a partner who brings equal love and joy to our family. You’re falling in love with her as Katy Perry. I fell in love with her as Katheryn Hudson.
Orlando, who has a daughter Daisy Dove with Katy, said: “I knew her as a mother, as a partner who brought that same sense of love and joy to our family. She loves with all her heart and she is irresistible. I see it everywhere. Love her work in our home, love her fans especially. Congratulations on this little honor, I am so proud of you.”
The “Wide Awake” singer performed her classic hits including “California Girls,” “Teenage Dream,” “Lifetimes” and more. Her stage design included butterflies and elaborate aerial choreography that saw her fly around the arena.
Katy began her speech by kissing her English husband on stage and thanking him, her daughter Daisy and her fans, the KatyCats. She said: “My KatyCats, you have stood by me and the LGBTQ community my whole life, without whom I believe I would not be here. You showed me you can be kind and impressed at the same time. Thank you Orlando for calling me to the field, celebrating and doing the dishes. And finally, to my daisies, the only flowers I'll ever need.''
She added a touch of humor by referencing her previous comment about liking a clean house and joking about Orlando "doing the dishes." "There haven't been any accidents in decades," Perry said. She expressed gratitude for the trip as she recalled the obstacles and challenges she faced as a singer and encouraged others to "touch the grass" and promote mental health in the noisy industry, particularly among women.
