Pop star Katy Perry accepted MTV's Video Vanguard Award at the VMAs, joking about being on her period during her acceptance speech. While many praised her honesty, some online users criticized her for mentioning it.
, Katy Perry received the Video Vanguard award, which is MTV's equivalent of a lifetime achievement prize, after performing a career-spanning medley of hits including I Kissed A Girl, Dark Horse and Firework.
The 'Woman's World' singer went on to say, 'Thank you to Orlando for keeping me grounded, celebrated, and'I’m excited when I look around music today, and I see all the amazing young artists who are operating with confidence, agency, vulnerability and authenticity. I’ve heard a lot of “Do this, don’t say that, wear less, wear more now. Hey, don’t cut your hair.
One X user wrote, 'katy perry we did not need to know you’re on your period' and another posted, 'Katy Perry just sucks. Period.' Despite women kicking around since the dawn of time, and periods being an essential part of the future of humankind, hearing the word mentioned still seems to rub some people up the wrong way, so good on Katy for talking about it. We clearly need more high-profile people like Katy to casually drop it into conversations for it to be normalised.
