Katy Perry, the American singer, has posted a picture on her Instagram account showing herself in underwear and a pumping bra just days after giving birth to her daughter Daisy Dove with fiancé Orlando Bloom.

The photo was shared as the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards aired and Perry captioned it jokingly with “Hair n makeup by @exhaustion”.

She also gave shoutouts to breast pump brand Medela for her pumping bra and Frida Mom for her postpartum underwear, while also noting the name of her new song, “Not the End of the World,” in the photo.

Perry and Bloom announced the birth of their daughter last week, sharing a black-and-white photo of Daisy Dove’s hand on Instagram.

Perry revealed her pregnancy in March, and the couple have been engaged since February 2019.

Although Perry has been part of the VMAs in the past, this year’s ceremony looked vastly different due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Page Six exclusively revealed that many of the show’s performances, award presentations, and red carpet interviews had been pre-recorded.

Keke Palmer served as this year’s VMAs host.

Perry’s appearance in her underwear is not the first time she has made headlines during her pregnancy.

In April, she revealed in an interview that she had planned on performing at the upcoming Summer Olympics in Tokyo before they were postponed due to the pandemic.

Since then, Perry has released several singles from her forthcoming album “Smile,” including “Daisies” and “Smile.” The album is set to be released on August 28.

Perry’s social media accounts have been active throughout her pregnancy, with both her and Bloom sharing updates and photos of their journey to parenthood.

Perry also recently appeared on the cover of People magazine’s “Beautiful Issue.”

Perry’s decision to share a photo of herself in underwear so soon after giving birth has sparked debate online.

Some have praised her for showing off her postpartum body and being confident in her own skin, while others have criticized her for promoting unrealistic beauty standards for new mothers.

Regardless of the opinions, Perry’s photo has once again put her in the spotlight and kept her fans talking about her.

It remains to be seen what other surprises Perry has in store for her fans as she embarks on this new journey of motherhood.
