American pop star Katy Perry addressed whether if she was planning to have a baby shower amid a global pandemic.

The American Idol judge went on another Facebook Live chat and answered fans' questions about both the show and her personal life.

Perry, who is expecting her first child with actor fiance Orlando Bloom, stated that the current events have thrown all her preconceptions.

"I know not everyone does a babymoon or a baby shower, but I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to do any of that. I'm just taking it one day at a time" she said.

Early March, Perry used her music to announce her pregnancy as she featured cradling her growing baby bump at the end of her music video of her latest single “Never Worn White”.

Last April, she revealed on social media the gender of her baby with a messy picture of Bloom whose face was covered in pink-toned whipped cream, which was captioned: “It’s a girl,”.

The 35-year-old singer is reportedly planning to name her baby girl after her late grandmother, Ann Pearl Hudson, who passed away shortly after Perry announced her pregnancy, according to multiple reports.

Early April, sources revealed on Rob Shuter’s podcast “‎Naughty But Nice with Rob Shuter”, revealed that Perry is naming her baby Pearl, Hudson, or Ann.

The source stated that Perry’s grandmother was the one who shaped her into the “women”  and the “fighter” that she is today.

“Katy believes that it is not a coincidence that her grandmother soul leaves the earth, and another arrives.”

Perry announced her grandmother’s death in a lengthy tribute on March 9.

On March 8, Perry admitted that she was hoping to have a girl during her performance at the Women’s Cricket World Cup Final in Melbourne, Australia.

The pair were set to get married originally in front of 150 guests in Japan later this year, however like so many people in the world, they have also been forced to push the date to 2021 back due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The “teenage dream” singer and the “lord of the rings” actor first started dating after meeting at the 2016 Golden Globes, before Bloom proposed to her on Valentine’s Day in 2019.

The 35-year-old singer is expected to give birth in the summer, which will be Perry’s first child, but Bloom’s second, being that he shares a 9-year-old son named Flynn with his former wife Miranda Kerr.
