Watch: Katy Perry helps fan propose to her girlfriend on National Coming Out Day
One Katy
Perry fan made a wish upon a star on Wednesday, and because that star was
the “Swish
Swish” singer herself, her wish came true.
Taking a break from the theatrics of her
Witness tour stop at Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn, Perry yielded
the stage to attendees Katy (yes, Perry freaked out over having the same name)
and Becky for a surprise wedding proposal on National Coming Out Day.
Perry, dressed in a sparkling ensemble, mentioned to her fellow Katy, “You
said you had a wish.
Well, this is a shooting star,” and pointed to a stage
prop. Katy’s wish was to spend the rest of her life with her girlfriend, Becky,
who was also celebrating her birthday at the time.
Katy got down on one knee and Perry dropped to the stage floor as the
audience erupted in cheers.

National Coming Out Day celebrated those who have come out as LGBTQ and
highlighted the resources and support that are out there for those still in the
closet. Arrow-verse mastermind Greg Berlanti also marked the occasion
by releasing the first
poster for his upcoming film, Love, Simon, based on the critically
acclaimed LGBTQ-themed YA novel Simon
vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda.
Perry, who kicked off her Witness tour in September, accepted
the National Equality Award from the Human Rights Campaign at its 2017 Gala
in Los Angeles.
Discussing her 2008 song “I Kissed a Girl,” she said at the ceremony in
March, “Truth be told, I did more than that! But how was I going to reconcile
that with the gospel-singing girl raised in youth groups that were
pro-conversion camps? What I did know was that I was curious, and even then I
knew that sexuality was not as black and white as this dress.”
