Katy Perry Shares Unfiltered Glimpse Inside Delivery Room After Daisy’s Birth

Katy Perry is reflecting on one of the most pivotal moments in her life—the birth of her first child, daughter Daisy Dove Bloom, with fiancé Orlando Bloom.

Daisy, now four years old, was born on August 26, 2020, just two days before Katy, 39, released her fifth studio album, Smile. She’s now looking back at that significant moment.

Take a look below as Katy commemorates her daughter’s birth with the release of her new album in this candid video…

The singer marked the four-year anniversary of the release of Smile by posting the album cover on her Instagram Stories. The cover features her wearing a sad clown costume atop the album title.

“Happy 4th birthday to my fifth album Smile,” she wrote, adding: “Where were you when this album came out? I’ll show you where I was…,” accompanied by a crying-laughing emoji.

Smile was Katy’s first album since 2017’s Witness, which did not perform as well commercially compared to her previous records. It did, however, debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

Witness, which introduced an era Katy branded “purposeful pop,” received lukewarm critical reception and produced singles like “Chained to the Rhythm” ft. Skip Marley and “Bon Appetit” ft. Migos.

The Smile era began with the release of “Never Really Over” in 2019, which received immense critical acclaim. This was followed by singles like “Harleys in Hawaii,” “Small Talk,” and “Never Worn White,” through which she announced her pregnancy.

After lead single “Daisies” was released in early 2020, showcasing her baby bump, she dropped Smile that August. Although the album initially received mixed reviews and modest commercial success, it has seen more positive retrospective feedback.

Katy is set to release her sixth studio album, 143, this September. She’s already released singles “Woman’s World” and “Lifetimes,” with the latter inspired by Daisy. She hopes her daughter “finds me” in every lifetime.

In a recent interview on The One Show, she explained: “‘Lifetimes’ is inspired by my daughter; every night, I tell her ‘I love you,’ and now I’ve started asking her, ‘Will you find me in every lifetime?’ and she says, ‘Yes.'”

Before “Woman’s World” dropped in July, she shared a snippet of the follow-up with Zane Lowe and talked about Daisy’s influence on the track, jokingly apologizing to Orlando for not choosing him as the focus.

“Daisy’s gonna find me in every life,” she said sweetly. “Daisy’s going to find me in every single life…or I’m going to find her. It’s kinda like that Black Mirror episode.”
