Perry also dedicated the award to her 4-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, calling her the “only flowers” she’ll ever need. Before her heartfelt speech, Perry delivered an energetic performance of her biggest hits, including “I Kissed a Girl,” “Hot N Cold,” and “Firework,” all while on her period, as she revealed to the audience.
