Bloom began his speech at the UBS Arena with a heartfelt tribute: “You fell in love with her as Katy Perry, but I fell in love with her as Katheryn Hudson. While the world sees her as a superstar who brings love, light and humor to her music, I know her as a devoted mother and partner who brings the same warmth to our family.”
He continued, “In our most difficult times, her music and the incredible world she has created have brought joy and laughter and inspired people worldwide. Her genuine love is truly irresistible, evident in our home, her passion for her work and especially her love for her fans. Congratulations on this well-deserved honor, baby. I am so proud of you. Ladies and gentlemen, your 2024 MTV Video Vanguard Award winner: Katheryn Hudson, Katy Perry.”
According to People, during her acceptance speech, Perry jokingly thanked Orlando Bloom for keeping her grounded and doing the dishes, cheekily referencing her recent NSFW comments on the Call her daddy Podcast in which she praised Bloom for his contribution to the household.
With over 143 million copies sold worldwide, Katy Perry is one of the most influential singers of our time. She is known for her flamboyant camp style and has earned the title “Queen of Camp” in the media.
