Katy Perry made all the attendees at the UBS Arena in New York feel like they were in «Last Friday Night» as they sang along with her at the MTV Video Music Awards 2024 ceremony. The 39-year-old singer joined the list of 35 other musicians who have been honored with this award, following in the footsteps of artists such as Shakira, who received the award in 2023. Perry’s unforgettable evening included a performance by her husband, Orlando Bloom, presenting her with the award and introducing her by her real name, Katheryn Hudson. In her performance, she humorously referenced a comment she made about doing the 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 that same love and joy to our family. You fell in love with her as Katy Perry. I fell in love with her as Katheryn Hudson».
Orlando, who is raising daughter Daisy Dove with Katy, continued, «I know her as a mother, as a partner who brings that same sense of love and joy to our family. She loves with all her heart, and it’s impossible to resist. I see it reflected everywhere. In our home, in her love for her work, especially in her love for her fans. Congratulations on this award, my dear, I am so proud of you».
The «Firework» singer performed several of her greatest hits, keeping the audience on their feet throughout the evening. HollywoodLife has all the details on Katy’s unforgettable night.
The «Wide Awake» singer presented a medley of her classic hits, including «California Gurls», - «Teenage Dream», - «Lifetimes», - and others. Her stage setup included butterflies and intricate aerial choreography that allowed her to soar across the arena.
Katy began her speech by kissing her English husband on stage and thanking him, their daughter Daisy, and her fans, the KatyCats. She said, «My Katy Cats, you have been with me my whole life, and the LGBTQ community, without which I wouldn’t be here. You have shown me that you can be kind and stylish. Thank you Orlando for keeping me grounded, celebrating, and doing the dishes. And, finally, for my Daisy, the only flower I’ll ever need».
She added a joke, referencing her previous comment about her love language being a clean house, and joked about Orlando «doing the dishes». Perry continued, «There are no coincidences over the decades». She expressed gratitude for her journey, mentioning the obstacles and challenges she faced as a singer, and urged others to «touch the grass» and prioritize their mental health in the noisy industry, especially for women
