Katy Perry, «Resilient (The Smile Video Series)»

Katy Perry continued her «Smile Video Series» this week, dropping two stunning and creative animated videos for her powerful Smiletracks, «Resilient» and «What Makes a Woman.»

«Resilient» is depicted in a sweet stop motion video of a seed that «grows right through the cracks» into a massive, blooming tree. The clip also pays tribute to the singer’s past, with a plastic bag floating through the air as a nod to her «Firework» lyric, «Do you ever feel like a plastic bag? Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?»

Perry’s beloved late cat Kitty Purry, her current dog Nugget and her fiancé Orlando Bloom’s late dog Mighty all also make appearances. The star herself steps off a bus at the end, holding her newborn daughter, Daisy Dove.

In «What Makes a Woman,» Perry shows just that, highlighting all kinds of strong, beautiful women.

Welcome to the world, Daisy Dove Bloom! We are honoured to introduce Goodwill Ambassadors @KatyPerry and @OrlandoBloom’s new bundle of joy.⠀ ⠀ “We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter,” Katy and Orlando told us.⠀ ⠀ “But we know we’re the lucky ones and not everyone can have a birthing experience as peaceful as ours was. Communities around the world are still experiencing a shortage of healthcare workers and every eleven seconds a pregnant woman or newborn dies, mostly from preventable causes. Since COVID-19 many more newborn lives are at risk because of the increased lack of access to water, soap, vaccines and medicines that prevent diseases. As parents to a newborn, this breaks our hearts, as we empathize with struggling parents now more than ever.⠀ ⠀ “As UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors, we know UNICEF is there, on the ground, doing whatever it takes to make sure every expecting mother has access to a trained health worker and access to quality healthcare. In celebration of the heart we know our daughter already has, we have set up a donation page to celebrate DDB’s arrival. By supporting them, you are supporting a safe start to life and reimagining a healthier world for every child. We hope your ♥️ can bloom with generosity.⠀ ⠀ Gratefully-⠀ ⠀ Katy & Orlando.”⠀ ⠀ Please tap the link in our bio to support the most precious gift: a healthy child.

Here’s the full statement they released:

«We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter.

But we know we’re the lucky ones and not everyone can have a birthing experience as peaceful as ours was. Communities around the world are still experiencing a shortage of healthcare workers and every eleven seconds a pregnant woman or newborn dies, mostly from preventable causes. Since COVID-19, many more newborn lives are at risk because of a greater lack of access to water, soap, vaccines and medicines that prevent diseases. As parents to a newborn, this breaks our hearts, as we empathize with struggling parents now more than ever.

As UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors, we know UNICEF is there, on the ground, doing whatever it takes to make sure every expecting mother has access to a trained health worker and access to quality healthcare. In celebration of the heart we know our daughter already has, we have set up a donation page to celebrate DDB’s arrival. By supporting UNICEF, you are supporting a safe start to life and reimagining a healthier world for every child. We hope your ❤️ can bloom with generosity.

Gratefully,
Katy and Orlando»

Daisy Dove is Katy’s first child and Orlando’s second—he and Miranda Kerr welcomed their son, Flynn, nine years ago.

Before Katy gave birth, she opened up about how she’s always wanted to have kids. She told Australian radio show Fifi, Fev & Byron, «I was that girl, or am still that girl, that had that box, the baby clothes before there was the thought or even an Orlando Bloom.» She also said this is the perfect time to expand her family and added, «I think, definitely, everything’s changing. I wasn’t ready a couple years ago, and I did the work to get ready and now I’m really ready…It’s just time for me, and it’s the right time.»

Congrats to the happy fam!! If you want to donate to UNICEF in honor of Daisy Dove, you can do so here.

Katy Perry in the performance video for «Smile»

Katy Perry unveiled a brand-new performance video of her latest single “Smile” on Tuesday (July 14).

In the kooky clip, the pregnant pop star dresses up in her most fashionable clown attire, wearing an orange, polka-dotted blazer and matching blue jumper with whimsical tuxedo detailing across the front.

“Yeah, I’m thankful/ Scratch that, baby, I’m grateful/ Gotta say it’s really been a while/ But now I got back that smile/ I’m so thankful/ Scratch that, baby, I’m grateful/ Now you see me shine from a mile/ Finally got back that smile, smile,” Perry croons on the joyful chorus as she performs the track backed by a number of giant clown hands, seated atop a comically oversized clown shoe and more.

Elsewhere in the clip, the miniaturized singer balances on her very own grin and nearly gets carried away by a bouquet of bright yellow balloons stamped with her initials.

“Smile” serves as the title track for the pop star’s upcoming fifth studio album, which is set to be released Aug. 14 via Capitol Records. The LP will also feature lead single “Daisies” as well as Perry’s 2019 one-offs “Never Really Over” and “Harleys in Hawaii.”

Katy Perry performs onstage with Zedd at Coachella Stage during the 2019 Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival on April 14, 2019 in Indio, Calif.

Katy Perry decided to clown around a bit with the cover reveal of her fifth album on Wednesday (July 8). The singer challenged fans to help her «find my smile» by playing a game in which they had to tweet to pop virtual balloons in order to uncover the title of the record due out on Aug. 14. Industrious and thirsty for the image, KatyCats quickly revealed the instantly iconic picture of KP as a glum clown with a red nose and a blue and white checkered suit above the title, Smile.

So far, Perry has released a handful of songs that could appear on the album, including «Never Worn White,» «Daisies» and has mentioned the tracks «Teary Eyes» and «What Makes a Woman» in interviews.

Katy Perry Responds to Taylor Swift Collab Rumors in New Interview & We Are Not Calm

0

Is a collaboration between Katy Perry and Taylor Swift happening? In a new interview on Monday (May 11), Perry teased the possibility while promoting her upcoming performance on American Idol.

«Well, you’re just gonna have to tune in to Idol next week to see all rumors, true or false,» the pop star told Extra as her fellow judges Luke Bryan and Lionel Richielaughed along at her promoting the show.

Whether or not it’s a collaboration with Swift, Perry is set to release her new track «Daisies» — the lead single from her upcoming fifth studio album — on May 15, just two days before the season finale of American Idol, where she’ll perform the track live for the first time. (Perry also joked that she will not be giving birth on air.)

An assist from Swift would mark the first time the two singers have collaborated in the studio, though they ended their longstanding feud in 2019 when Perry made a surprise cameo in the video for Swift’s second Lover-era single «You Need to Calm Down.»

Check out a clip from Perry’s Extra interview below.

Wearing a white and pink bunny onesie over her growing baby bump, the pop star posed for a mirror selfie on Instagram, promoting a Facebook Q&A ahead of the evening’s American Idolepisode.

«Somebunny is going to be live on FACEBOOK with you right before Idol starts tonight at 7:45p ET to have a little Q&A about any of your #AmericanIdol questions,» she wrote alongside a pair of bunny and hatching chick emojis.

In early March, the American Idol judge announced she was expecting her first child with fiancé Orlando Bloom during the music video for her latest single, «Never Worn White.» The couple have since revealed that they’re expecting a baby girl via a messy Instagram post featuring a grinning Bloom covered in pink shaving cream.

«There’s pink and purple in the sky-y-y» for Katy Perry’s new vertical video for «Harleys in Hawaii,» which she released Friday (Nov. 8).

Perry makes the single’s album artwork come to life atop the title motorcycle, donning her multicolored floral turtleneck dress, black headband and white-and-yellow floral statement earrings.

The camera pans out to reveal the palm trees perfectly framing the pop star’s shot, which widens enough for fans to see the rest of her ensemble: zebra knee-high boots and a matching mutlicolored floral motorcycle helmet. Unlike the «Harleys in Hawaii» music video she premiered with the single on its original Oct. 16 release, Perry’s latest visual shows off her solo (and equally fabulous) venture.

Watch the breezy clip for «Harleys in Hawaii» below.
