Katy Perry was one of the celebrities who performed during the historic inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday, January 20. The celebration continued until evening with performances from different stars.
Perry’s performance was definitely one of the most jaw-dropping. The singer performed one of her hit songs “Firework” during the TV special, Celebrating America, which was hosted by the multi-awarded actor, Tom Hanks. Perry looked stunning in an all-white attire in contrast to the evening sky. As she performed her song, fireworks shoot across the night sky creating a burst of dramatic and colorful background.
It was definitely one of her best performances to date and her fiancé Orlando Bloom was moved to tears by it. The actor took to Instagram to express his thoughts about the unforgettable moment.
He wrote, “One day our little girl will grow up and see her mother play her part in a moment in history that we hope will heal, we hope will unite, we hope, we love. One proud partner here with a tear of joy us.”
Katy and the Pirates of the Caribbean actor share a daughter, Daisy Dove, whom they welcomed August last year. The couple announced “DDB’s” arrival through the UNICEF website where both are Goodwill Ambassadors.
The statement read, “We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter. But we know we’re the lucky ones and not everyone can have a birthing experience as peaceful as ours was. Communities around the world are still experiencing a shortage of healthcare workers and every eleven seconds a pregnant woman or newborn dies, mostly from preventable causes.”
The statement continued, “Since COVID-19, many more newborn lives are at risk because of a greater lack of access to water, soap, vaccines and medicines that prevent diseases. As parents to a newborn, this breaks our hearts, as we empathize with struggling parents now more than ever.”
The couple had been planning on tying the knot but they had to postpone their plans because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Though this is Katy’s first time to be a mom, this is Orlando’s second time as a dad. He shares a son with ex-wife Miranda Kerr named Flynn Christopher who’s 10 years old.
