Yahoo Lifestyle Orlando Bloom Introduced Katy Perry By Her Real Name While Honoring Her At The VMAs, And It’s Seriously Sweet
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom first hit it off over a hamburger at the Golden Globes in 2016, and since then, they’ve become one of Hollywood’s sweetest couples.
Following a brief split in 2017, Katy and Orlando got engaged in 2019, and the following year, they welcomed their daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom.
Needless to say, Katy and Orlando are each other’s number-one fans. So, when a special guest was needed to introduce Katy at last night’s MTV VMAs, there was seemingly only one man for the job.
In case you missed it, Katy was this year’s recipient of the MTV Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, and as is customary, the winner thrilled fans with a jam-packed performance of her biggest hits.
Ahead of Katy’s 10-minute medley — which included songs like “California Gurls,” “Teenage Dream,” and “I Kissed a Girl” — Orlando was welcomed to the stage to give a glowing introduction, in which he praised his fiancée’s “remarkable” talent.
“You fell in love with her as Katy Perry. I fell in love with her as Katheryn Hudson,” he began, referring to her by her birth name.
“You know her as a global superstar who brings love, light, and her unique sense of humor to every song she writes and music video she creates. I know her as a mother, as a partner who brings that same love and joy to our family,” he added.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star went on to say that Katy’s music has “brought a sense of joy and laughter” to fans and inspired “generations of people from all over the world.”
“She loves with her whole heart, and it’s kind of irresistible,” he said. “I see her reflected everywhere in our home, in her love for her work, but especially in her love for her fans.”
“Congratulations on this honor, baby. I’m so proud of you. 143!” he concluded, dropping in a reference to the title of her upcoming album. “Ladies and gentlemen, the 2024 MTV Video Vanguard, Katheryn Hudson. Katy Perry!”
Once her high-energy, gravity-defying performance was over, Orlando presented Katy with her trophy. And in her acceptance speech, she returned the favor with a cute shoutout to him and their 4-year-old daughter.
“Thank you to Orlando for keeping me grounded, celebrated, and doing the dishes,” she said, calling back to her recent confession about their home life on the Call Her Daddy podcast. “And lastly, for my Daisy, the only flowers I’ll ever need.”
