Katy Perry will be performing one last time before giving birth. Despite weighing extra 40 pounds, according to her, she is set to perform at the Tomorrowland Around the World virtual concert.
The “Firework” singer opened up about her pregnancy in an online press conference set up for the event. She said she is in a happy phase in her life, saying:
"Even though I'm like an extra 40 pounds, no one cares, but I'm still dancing around and still bringing that kind of sparkle in life, and fun, and joy.”

The 35-year-old singer joined David Guetta, Dimitri Vegas, Steve Aoki, and NERVO during the press conference hosted by presenter and musician Sean Dhondt.
Perry, who is expecting a baby girl with actor Orlando Bloom, will be headlining the event, scheduled on July 25 and 26, as reported by ET Online.
Rumors earlier spread that Jennifer Aniston will be a godmother to their daughter on the way.

The mother-to-be, who once performed on Super Bowl Halftime Show, said her body feels good so she is confident she can give a great performance.
She went on to say that fans can expect “high level” performances and these will be different from what people have seen during quarantine. She assured fans their purchase of tickets will be worth it.
Neither the pandemic nor her pregnancy has slowed down the pop star. She is set to release her new album, “Smile,” on August 14.
Perry remains in high spirits and is confident with her body, even flaunting her sizable baby bump in a crop top during one interview, as reported by People.
The “Teenage Dream” singer recently revealed that she nicknamed her unborn baby “Kicky Perry” owing to the former’s active lifestyle.
She said that both she and Bloom are full of energy, and they expect their baby to be just as lively.
Rumors earlier spread that Jennifer Aniston will be a godmother to their daughter on the way. But Perry denied this, as reported by People.
She called it a wild but fun rumor. She disclosed that Aniston texted her and Bloom about the story and that they were surprised. Bloom and Aniston are good friends.
She went on to say that people should not believe everything they read on the internet. She had no idea where the story came from.
Nonetheless, the singer is excited to welcome her first baby. Earlier, she said she is not afraid of the pain of giving birth.
She revealed that she once helped her sister give birth at home, and that she thought going on labor is something she is ready for.
