Katy Perry details similarities between motherhood and being a pop star as she jokes: 'There's vomit on the floor and your boobs are always out'
Katy Perry spoke about the similarities between motherhood and pop stardom while guest hosting the Ellen DeGeneres show.
The 37-year-old singer — who gave birth to daughter Daisy Dove in August 2020 — said there are a few striking similarities between both of her jobs, despite them being wildly different in scope.
'You're up all night, usually holding a bottle of some kind, there's vomit on the floor and your boobs are always out,' she remarked.

'You know what you're up all night for different reasons,' she teased before singing a re-written version of her song Roar that spoke to motherhood.
In her lyrics she first spoke about how as an international pop star she used to party all night and sleep in late and had the freedom to do anything before she became a mom.
Calling Daisy the greatest 'gift in the world' Katy continued to sing: 'I went from lots of sleep, to not a single wink.
'I put her down, but she gets up, still hungry can't get enough,' she said clutching her breasts. 'I hear her voice, I hear her sound, like thunder gonna shake the ground.'

'She wants more boobie can't get enough,' Perry continued to say which drew laughter from the crowd.
In the chorus she replaced 'eye of the tiger' with 'cry of the tiger,' and the song also included a choir of mothers holding screaming fake babies.

The pair first got together in 2016, before taking time apart a year later. In April 2018 they officially rekindled and he proposed on Valentine's Day in 2019.

On Daisy's first birthday the American Idol judge tweeted '1 year ago today is the day my life began.'
Speaking to Variety in October about motherhood she said: 'I never really truly knew about unconditional love. Obviously my mother has that for me, but I didn't really experience it in the first-person until I had my child. And that was just a whole 'nother level.'
Katy continued to say that some of her previous work with kids and being an entertainer to kids, 'prepared me for motherhood, but nothing can prepare you for that wave of unconditional love.'
She also said motherhood gave her a new lease on time. 'Having a child a legit, constant timestamp. In the past, it's all a blur, but then you have a child that's growing before your very eyes and it's just so profound.'
