Katy Perry Puts Her Torso on Display in a Shredded Bralette and Skirt at the 2024 MTV VMAs
Katy Perry is getting a major career honor at tonight’s MTV VMAs: the Video Vanguard Award. The singer chose a red carpet look to reflect the significance of the moment: a shredded white bralette with a matching low-rise skirt. Perry arrived with her fiancé, Orlando Bloom, and they kissed in front of photographers.
Perry will perform during tonight’s show and accept the award. She is also nominated for the VMAs Most Iconic Performance award for “Roar.”
Perry recently spoke on Call Her Daddy about how she ended up in music. She never envisioned herself becoming a famous pop star.
“I mean, fame never came into my mind,” she said. “I think it’s a byproduct of everything that everyone’s successful at. I just wanted to be seen, period. End of story. And I found my magic trick when I was nine. I started singing, and then the room would freeze. And so I was like, oh, this is interesting. And then I enjoyed it. And it just soothed me. It healed me. My mother called me Bird from a very young age because I would sing myself to sleep when I was little. Then I picked up a guitar at 13. I started singing at church at nine. Started writing my own songs at 13. I made a gospel record when I was 16. And so I always wanted to be on the stage. My father was a minister, and he was on some stage, so I always watched that. I had a little bit of an example of that. Got my big break at 23, but before 23, I was in LA at 17. I was broke. I didn’t have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out. So what my Southern father would say.
“But I was hustling, and I was always saying, yes, I can,” she continued. “I’ll be there. I’ll fill in. Tap me in, coach. It was a struggle bus. I had two cars repossessed. I was signed and dropped by three different labels. People only know me maybe because of Teenage Dream and the whirlwind and success of that and the accolades, [but that’s not the full story].”
