Katy Perry's Selfie Right After Having A Baby Has Everyone Talking

Katy Perry may be a "Dark Horse" in the running for our favorite mom of 2020. The superstar, who released her fifth studio album, Smile, on August 28th, also had another major announcement during release week: She released a baby into the world! Perry and her husband, actor Orlando Bloom, took to Instagram to announce the birth of their first child, daughter Daisy Dove Bloom, on August 27th. They did so by reposting a note from Unicef, to much celebration. The Instagram post read, "Welcome to the world, Daisy Dove Bloom! We are honoured to introduce Goodwill Ambassadors @KatyPerry and @OrlandoBloom's new bundle of joy." And the pop icon has kept the updates coming...in an extremely Katy Perry fashion. MTV held its first virtual Video Music Awards ceremony a few days after little Daisy was born, on August 30th. It was a memorable night, but there was no Katy Perry, of course, since she was recovering from childbirth. Any other year, we may have expected an appearance or show-stopping performance from Perry, but that obviously wasn't the case this time around. Even so, the "Firework" star still managed to chime in and to inspire in a hilarious way. Talk about an awards show look! If the VMA's are all about turning heads, Katy Perry won with her candid, post-pregnancy selfie posted to her Instagram stories during the awards show — just four days after giving birth. She gets our vote as one of the boldest and best-dressed stars of the show! According to People, Perry's pic prominently features a breast pump bra, as well as Frida Mom brand postpartum underwear. She even tagged the two brands' Instagram pages in her post. Daisy Dove Bloom's mama also kept the humor light by tagging, quote, "hair [and] makeup by: [exhaustion]." From the timing, to the large VMAs Instagram sticker added to the snap, to Perry's stone-cold, modelesque facial expression, we can't help but giggle. The new mom was nostalgic about the MTV party, and her pre-baby figure, throughout the day of the awards show. Earlier, she shared the glittery video for another new song, "Champagne Problems," captioning the post, "Allllll weee goooot arre #ChampagneProblems nowwe. Listen to Champagne Problems to get your pre-baby body back." The internet is roaring over Perry's VMA-coinciding postpartum selfie. One follower tweeted, "QUEEN OF FEEDING YOUR BABY BREAST MILK" While another wrote, "Katy Perry's Bathroom Selfie Is Pure Postpartum Realness" And another fan wrote on Instagram, "WHY ARE YOU SERVING SO MUCH WHAT DID WE DO TO DESERVE" Earlier in the week, Perry wrote on Twitter, "delivering a baby and a record in the same week, dont f--- with mama aka #whatmakesawoman" Perry's humor has dazzled since her early "I Kissed A Girl" days, and she sure isn't sugarcoating post-pregnancy and motherhood now. Perry has been candid about childbirth for a while. In 2011, while married to comedian Russell Brand, Perry told Ellen DeGeneres this about having children: "I would love to have children. I think that's one of the reasons you get married. Especially to the person that you marry. You think that person is going to be a good partner, a good parent. [...] If it doesn't hurt the first time, I'll keep popping them out." And in 2016, she told E! News that seeing her sister's pregnancy journey was a revelation: "I see the amazing thing of birth and children and the vulnerability, and we just have to take care of them and how, how big of an impression we have. We have such a responsibility! Children to me are becoming a big focus. I don't even have mine but I see it in my sister's kids and just how much nurturing and love they need." When she finally revealed her pregnancy in 2019, the star tweeted: "Omg so glad I don't have to suck it in anymore. Or carry around a big purse lol." In addition to her recent "Champagne Problems" video, she also released a video for "Resilient" and a comic book-themed video for "Tucked," on August 29th. She's keeping busy and making us laugh, and she told 60 Minutes Australia before the birth of baby Daisy that she's pumped for what's ahead, while staying grateful for all that she already has. We loved Katy Perry before, but we absolutely cannot get enough of new mom Katy Perry! Watch the video to learn why Katy Perry's Selfie Right After Having A Baby Has Everyone Talking! #KatyPerry
