Hey, everyone! Did you catch the MTV VMAs on September 11? If you missed it, you definitely missed out on one of the most heartwarming moments of the night. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom stole the show in a way that only they can. I’m still swooning over their adorable exchange and all the love they shared on stage.
Orlando Bloom, always the gentleman, kicked off the evening with a sweet introduction for Katy Perry, referring to her by her birth name, Katheryn Hudson. It was such a touching nod to their long-standing relationship and the journey they’ve been on together. “Give it up for our newest Video Vanguard, Katheryn Hudson,” Bloom announced at New York’s UBS Arena, before playfully adding, “Katy Perry”
For those who might not know, Katheryn Hudson is Katy Perry’s real name. She initially released a Christian album under this name back in 2001, but switched to the stage name Katy Perry to capture the pop world’s attention. And boy, did it work. But seeing Orlando Bloom call her by her birth name was a beautiful reminder of their deep, personal connection.
Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry’s love story feels like something out of a fairytale. Bloom, who was there to support Perry as she accepted the prestigious Video Vanguard Award, couldn’t have been prouder. “You fell in love with her as Katy Perry, I fell in love with her as Katheryn Hudson,” he said. “You know 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.”
Isn’t that just the sweetest thing? Orlando Bloom didn’t stop there—he also praised Katy Perry’s role as a mother to their adorable 4-year-old daughter, Daisy. “I know her as a mother, as a partner who brings that same sense of love and joy to our family,” Bloom gushed. “She loves with her whole heart and it’s kind of irresistible.”
Katy Perry’s acceptance speech was just as delightful as the introduction. After performing a medley of her greatest hits—including “Teenage Dream,” “E.T.,” “Dark Horse,” and “California Girls”—she took the stage to accept her award with her signature humor. “Thank you, I did that all on my first day of my period, can you believe it?” she quipped, keeping the mood light and fun.
She also made sure to thank her fans and the LGBTQ community, acknowledging their immense support over the years. “My Katy Cats, you stood by me for a lifetime and the LGBTQ community who I recognize I would not be here without,” Perry said. Her heartfelt thanks extended to Orlando Bloom, who she credited for keeping her grounded and even doing the dishes. And to their daughter Daisy, Perry added, “the only flower I’ll ever need.”

Their genuine affection for each other was evident, making their appearances on stage even more special.
