Orlando Bloom stuns VMAs audience with real name bombshell!
Fans were left utterly stunned after Orlando Bloom revealed Katy Perry’s real name during his VMAs speech.
Of course, this wasn’t the only memorable moment of Perry’s big night.
Katy Perry’s hilarious VMAs speech detailed.
After accepting the award, Perry delivered a light-hearted speech, joking about receiving the honor on her period.
“Thank you, I did all that on the first day of my period – can you believe it?” Perry quipped, sparking laughter.
She went on to thank MTV for supporting her “weirdness” from day one, cementing her status as a true pop icon.
“There are no decades-long accidents,” she said, reflecting on her remarkable career.
Perry also gave a shoutout to her loyal fanbase, her “Katy Cats,” and the LGBTQ+ community, crediting them for her success.
But she saved the sweetest moment for Bloom, thanking him for “doing the dishes” and keeping her grounded.
Wrapping up, she gave a heartfelt nod to their daughter, calling Daisy “the only flower I’ll ever need.”
Orlando and Katy’s love story explained.
The couple, who share a four-year-old daughter named Daisy, have had fans intrigued for years.
But this moment, right on live TV, took the intrigue to a whole new level.
Born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson in 1984, Perry adopted her stage name to avoid confusion with actress Kate Hudson.
She began her career singing gospel music, raised by strict Pentecostal parents.
But by 2008, with the release of her breakthrough hit “I Kissed a Girl,” the world knew her as Katy Perry.
And now, over a decade later, Bloom’s intimate speech served as a nod to the woman behind the pop persona.
Bloom calls Perry by her birth name!
Bloom, 47, took the stage to present Perry with the prestigious Video Vanguard Award, a lifetime achievement honor.
However, instead of using her iconic stage name, he referred to her as Katheryn Hudson.
That’s right – Katy Perry, the name that’s dominated the charts, isn’t her real name after all.
Social media erupts after Orlando’s big name reveal!
As if Bloom’s heartfelt words weren’t enough, fans were floored by this unexpected reveal.
The moment unfolded during this year’s MTV Video Music Awards, which took place on September 11.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star, who has been engaged to Perry since 2019, made it personal.
“Give it up for our newest Video Vanguard, Katheryn Hudson,” Bloom began.
“You fell in love with her as Katy Perry, but I fell in love with her as Katheryn Hudson,” he explained.
He continued, praising her both as a global superstar and the woman who brings “love and joy” to their family.
“She loves with her whole heart, and it’s kind of irresistible,” Bloom gushed, sending fans into a frenzy.
But the real buzz came when Bloom’s mention of her birth name overshadowed the speech itself.
Social media exploded, with many fans expressing genuine surprise about the singer’s real identity.
