She entered the arena flying above the stage with the support of harnesses amid a laser show, following which Perry performed her popular tracks, including “E.T.,” “Teenage Dream,” and “I Kissed a Girl.” She was also accompanied by Doechii for the live performance of their latest collaborative song, “I’M HIS, HE’S MINE,” from Perry’s upcoming album, “143.”
Ahead of Katy Perry’s performance, Bloom had the sweetest message for his fiancée. He called her by her birth name — Katheryn Hudson —while recalling how he fell in love with her. The actor also lovingly honored her creative genius by addressing her as a “global superstar who brings love, light and her unique sense of humor into every song she writes and every music video she creates.”
In addition, he recognized her efforts as a mother and partner. Bloom continued that Perry “brings that same love and joy to our family. In moments when we’ve most needed it, her music and the remarkable world she creates have brought a sense of joy and laughter, inspiring generations of people from all over the world.” He further added, “She loves with her whole heart, and it’s kind of irresistible. 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!”
After her performance, the singer thanked Bloom with a kiss and expressed gratitude to MTV, fans, and her label.
