The California native initially debuted her baby bump last month in the music video for the song “Never Worn White.” She also shared that she was happy to not have to carry a “big purse” around to hide her growing stomach.

Perry also confessed that her baby was planned and not a mistake. She had actually wished for a baby girl before she confirmed that she was getting her wish fulfilled.

Singer reveals medical diagnosis

It was later discovered that the up and coming singer had been diagnosed with vasovagal syncope in the seventh grade. Brownlee explained that it was a heart condition that caused her “to react to stress differently than other people, and it could cause a seizure."

After coming back a few hours later to perform, Perry was moved to tears as Brownlee made her way off the stage.
