Katy Perry Shares Mother’s Day Tribute To Daughter Daisy Dove Bloom
Katy Perry is opening up about her mother-daughter bond with Daisy Dove Bloom. On May 12, the singer posted a Mother’s Day Instagram tribute to her 3-year-old daughter, who she welcomed shares with her fiancé Orlando Bloom.
In a photo and video gallery post, Perry shared milestones from her pregnancy with Daisy, including a snap of her baby bump, her pregnancy test, an ultrasound scan, and the moment she revealed was expecting her first child to Bloom, who she got engaged to in 2019, and her American Idolco-stars, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan.
Today I told my mother that the day I realized how much she loved me is the day I had my own daughter, Daisy Dove,” Perry wrote in a caption. “There is nothing like a Mother’s love. Never take it for granted. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers and caretakers — any way you come.”
The “Firework” hitmaker announced she was pregnant in March 2020, and gave birth to her and Bloom’s daughter in August of that year.
The couple announced the arrival of Daisy Dove in an Instagram post via UNICEF to highlight the global shortage of health workers.
“We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter,” their announcement read. “But we know we’re the lucky ones and not everyone can have a birthing experience as peaceful as ours was.”
Perry’s Mother’s Day post comes after Bloom recently got candid about fatherhood. In a video published by People, the actor discussed parenting Daisy Dove and his son Flynn, who he shares with ex-wife Miranda Kerr. Revealing what he enjoys most about family time, Bloom revealed, “For me, a meal together. Sitting down at a table.”
Daisy Dove’s Viral Debut
The couple’s daughter made her first public appearance at the final show of Perry’s Las Vegas residency in November 2023. While giving Daisy Dove a shoutout at the concert, the youngster was shown on a big screen dressed in a Minnie Mouse costume.
“I love you so much,” Perry said. “You’re my best friend, I’m so glad you’re here.” Later in the show, the singer also revealed how Daisy Dove inspired her Vegas residency.
“When I met her, it was like all the love I was ever searching for finally showed up. She made me whole,” Perry said. “This show is for everyone’s inner child and for the hope that maybe if we could all see life through the eyes of a child, we would be free.”

Katy Perry might be planning a return to musicfollowing her American Idol resignation, but she’ll be steering clear of one of her biggest hits because of Kelly Clarkson.
On March 19, Clarkson, who won Idol’s first-ever season in 2002, delighted viewers of her show with a cover of Perry’s 2012 single “Wide Awake.” The performance soon generated buzz online, where fans praised Clarkson’s slowed-down rendition.
This performance is perfection! I love the rearrangement,” one user gushed on Instagram, while another added, “This might be better than the original.” Among those commenting was Perry herself, who jokingly wrote under a video of the performance, “Ok dang I can never sing that again.”
Responding to the singer’s comment, one user joked, “Once Kelly covers your song, it’s no longer your song. She makes it her own and you never get it back.”
“Wide Awake” was the final single from Perry’s reissued third studio album, Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection. It peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was inspired by “major life changes,” including her divorce from Russell Brand.
“It’s kind of like the labyrinth of my life in the last two years,” Perry told MTV in 2012. “I just wanted to tell a story about myself kind of going through this journey, maybe sometimes trying to get out of the maze. There’s good parts, there’s bad parts, and the whole time there’s the younger version of me leading me through.”
