    Katy Perry to Receive VMAs Video Vanguard Award, Thanks to Orlando Bloom

    Vaseline Posted on

    Katy Perry gave an uninhibited speech while accepting the Video Vanguard Award at MTV’s Video Music Awards.

    The pop star accepted the VMAs’ version of a lifetime achievement award from her partner Orlando Bloom, who called her by her birth name: Katheryn Hudson.

    Perry accepted the award after performing a medley of her hits, including “I Kissed a Girl,” “California Gurls” and “ET,” as well as new songs from her upcoming album, “Lifetimes,” and “I’m His, He’s Mine” with Doechii. “Woman’s World” did not make the set list.

    “Thank you. I did all that on the first day of my period too, if you can believe it,” Perry told a cheering crowd.

    After reflecting on her career, Perry thanked her team, family and fans, adding a shoutout to Bloom for “doing the dishes,” a reference to her risqué “Call Her Daddy” interview earlier this month, in which she said she likes to exchange sexual favors with her husband for doing household chores. She added a thank-you note to their 4-year-old daughter Daisy Dove, “the only flowers I’ll ever need.”

    The “Firework” singer thanked MTV for “believing in my queerness from day 1.” She said that in order to have a “long and successful career,” a lot of things have to align. She also gave critics a piece of her opinion, saying, “There are no decades-long accidents,” before pausing for dramatic effect.

    She praised the “amazing” young artists who “operate with confidence, assertiveness, vulnerability and authenticity.” She then advised other artists not to be influenced by social media.

    “I’ve learned how to block out all the noise that every artist in this industry has to constantly fight against, especially women,” she said. “I want to say with all my heart: Do whatever it takes to stay true to yourself and your art. Turn off social media. Protect your mental health. Take a break. Touch grass. And do what you were born to do, just like I was born to do.”

    Perry’s speech may have been a reference to recent negative reactions, including to the lead single from her new album, “143,” “Woman’s World.”

    The Grammy-nominated singer received terrible reviews for the single and its accompanying music video in July. After its release, she defended the video in an Instagram post, telling fans it was meant to be a parody. “YOU CAN DO ANYTHING!” she wrote. “EVEN SATIRE!”

    The singer also received criticism for his collaboration with controversial music producer Dr. Luke.

    On “Call Her Daddy,” Perry dodged host Alex Cooper’s question about her collaboration with “one specific collaborator,” noting that “a lot of people have expressed disappointment and were very angry that you decided to work with him.”

    “I understand it sparked a lot of conversation, and he was one of many collaborators that I worked with, but the reality is (the music) came from me,” Perry told Cooper. “The truth is I wrote these songs based on my experiences throughout my life of going through this metamorphosis, and he was one of the people who facilitated all of that.”
