Katy Perry is eagerly anticipating her upcoming world tour with her family, marking a significant milestone in her career. During her recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on January 29, she shared the exciting news that she and her fiancé, Orlando Bloom, will be bringing along their adorable four-year-old daughter, Daisy, as they embark on this extensive 75-date tour, which kicks off in Mexico City on April 23. This tour not only represents a return to the stage for Perry but also showcases her commitment to family as they travel together.
Perry emphasized the transformative experience of touring as a parent, stating, ?Now I have a four-year-old little girl and we?re going around the world and it?s going to be very different.? This will be her first global tour since 2017, and she plans to adapt her performance schedule to accommodate parents in the audience by starting shows earlier at around 8:30 PM, rather than the usual 9 or 9:30 PM. Understanding the importance of bedtime routines, she acknowledges that they can take over 90 minutes, demonstrating her dedication to both her fans and her family?s needs.
While Daisy witnessed her mom?s performances during Perry?s Las Vegas residency, Kimmel playfully probed about whether the little one would be singing along to her mother?s hits. Perry revealed a humorous twist: her daughter’s favorite song isn’t one she would prefer for a toddler to know. ?She knows a song that I don?t want her to know,? Perry confessed, referring to the cheeky track titled ?Peacock? from her acclaimed 2010 album Teenage Dream. The song?s suggestive lyrics have become a source of playful embarrassment for the singer, who humorously noted, ?I have obviously tortured people with this,? acknowledging the challenges of parenting while managing a pop star’s reputation.
To illustrate the situation, Perry recounted a delightful moment when she bought Daisy a peacock costume at the zoo. ?She just dances around and sings that song; I?m just like, ?NO!!?,? Perry exclaimed, covering her face in mock horror. This light-hearted anecdote showcases the challenges and joys of being a mother while navigating a pop star lifestyle, offering a glimpse into the personal side of her life.
Looking vibrant in a studded leather outfit, Perry kicked off the interview with infectious energy. When Kimmel remarked on her excitement, she enthusiastically responded, ?ret ta go!? and jumped into a fun hand-jive routine to Chappell Roan?s catchy song ?Hot To Go.? Her enthusiasm for performance and connection with her audience was palpable, highlighting her dynamic stage presence as she prepares for the upcoming tour.
Perry reminisced about her previous appearances on the show, specifically recalling her announcement about leaving American Idol after seven successful years to focus on her Lifetimes tour. Expressing her fondness for her former colleagues, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan, she commented, ?I miss them so much though.? She even sent greetings to them, noting that they still keep in touch through text messages, showcasing the close-knit relationships formed during her time on the show.
Kimmel jokingly speculated about whether Perry’s former co-stars had started a new group chat with the newly added judge, Carrie Underwood, who is set to join the team for the upcoming season. Perry responded positively, agreeing that such a group chat would be fitting, further emphasizing the camaraderie within the American Idol family, even amid changes in the lineup.
Reflecting on her early days in music, Perry shared the story of her very first concert experience at a Radiohead show when she was just 13. Despite looking older, her father?s protective instincts prevented her from going backstage when she was invited. Kimmel also shared a nostalgic clip of Perry’s daring stage dive from her earlier days on the Warped Tour in 2008, a move she was known for in her energetic performances. ?I really went for that one! I?ve never seen that clip!? she exclaimed, reminiscing about her adventurous spirit.
In addition to sharing personal stories, Perry highlighted her involvement in the Fire Aid concert happening on January 30, aimed at raising funds for victims of the recent devastating wildfires in L.A. She is set to perform alongside other prominent artists including Billie Eilish, Gracie Abrams, Lady Gaga, Olivia Rodrigo, and Peso Pluma, showcasing her commitment to using her platform for meaningful causes.
