Katy Perry fans are getting emotional after the pregnant singer shared a video of herself telling her dying grandmother that she was going to have a baby. In the black and white clip Perry shared as part of her tribute to Ann Hudson, 99, Perry sits next to her grandma’s hospital bed and reveals the exciting news.
“Grandma, it’s Katy. I just wanted to tell you, I know you’re not feeling well, but I wanted to share some exciting news with you,” Perry can be heard saying in the clip. “I’m gonna tell you that I’m gonna have a baby. I’m pregnant, grandma. Katy is finally pregnant. She’s the last one, but I have a baby inside me. And I wanted to tell that to you.” While her grandmother’s reaction can’t be seen in the clip, it seems as though she responded positively to Perry’s happy news.

What a wonderful thing to do. I am a nurse and very often loved ones are forgotten about. She can hear you and although she may not be able to talk to you or express her joy, have peace in your heart knowing that she knows and loves you. Thank you for sharing. ❤

Perry announced her pregnancy upon the release of her new song and music video, “Never Worn White,” which was just days before she revealed her grandmother’s passing. In a heartfelt tribute, Perry shared several photos and videos of Hudson and waxed poetic about the impact she had on her life.

“I don’t know when a soul enters a new vehicle but if there is an afterlife where there’s a waiting room of the coming and going my mind wonders if the soul that is waiting to come into my world is getting a kiss on the forehead from my sweet Grandma that departed this earth yesterday. My heart hopes so,” Perry wrote, in part.
“A lot of what I am is because of my father… and he is because of her. She started it all, as she used to remind us and I’m so grateful she did.”
Perry continued: “Ann Pearl Hudson was a fighter. She survived the Great Depression, raised 3 kids on her own as a seamstress, making G strings for showgirls and other such characters in Vegas. She was always authentically herself, funny and full of all the sweet cozy things you think of when you think of grandmas.”
“She was a wonderful grandma and I will forever carry some of her in me.”
“May she rest in deep peace and kiss the forehead of the soul to come and let them know everything is gonna be OK, especially now that they have gained an angel to look over them.”
