Katy Perry Performs “Daisies” in a Virtual Reality Environment

Katy Perry’s new single “Daisies” is a big, anthemic anthem that tees off her fifth album cycle, preparing fans for the singer’s as-yet-untitled new LP’s release this summer. But it also serves as a strong message of self-empowerment that carries even more weight now, with the pop star now a brand-new mom to her daughter Daisy Dove Bloom.

The song features a stripped-down arrangement that ditches the electropop of Witness in favor of a more adult contemporary sound, while Perry showcases her lower register for the first time since acoustic ballads like “Never Worn White” and “Harleys In Hawaii,” both of which failed to enter the Billboard Hot 100. It’s clear that Perry is setting her sights on a whole new audience with this project and that she’s not interested in pandering to the Dua Lipas and Ariana Grandes of the music world.

In the song, Perry declares she’ll walk her own path under her own terms until the day she dies — and she seems determined to prove everyone wrong. She echoes this sentiment in her upcoming acoustic performance of the track for Houseparty’s “In The House” series, where she sings the chorus while dressed in a white maternity dress and standing near a babbling brook.

During the performance, Perry sings the lyrics in a digitally-enhanced environment that uses new technology to create a virtual 3D interactive experience. Production Resource Group, known for its technological innovations in live entertainment, helped deliver the groundbreaking visuals for the performance that made use of Extended Reality (XR) technology.
