Katy Perry has revealed the sweet Christmas tradition she shares every year with her fiancé Orlando Bloom and their daughter Daisy, four, – and it involves neighbors like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The pop sensation, 40, took to the stage in London on Wednesday night for the taping of her ITV concert special, Night of a Lifetime, and told the audience her Christmas Eve plans.
She revealed how she would dress up as The Grinch and sing to her neighbors the day before December 25. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex live near the singer and her actor partner in Montecito, California.
She told the audience: “We’re going to be at home and do something we do every year, which is rent a trolley and dress up and go to all the neighbors’ houses in my hometown.
“I’m going to dress up as the Grinch, which I got from Amazon, and we’re going to sing. I don’t know if anyone will know that it is like that, but yes, we go through people’s houses and sing.
“Sometimes there’s hot chocolate and I’m dressed as The Grinch and it’s going to be super fun.

The Roar singer and Orlando got engaged in 2019 and welcomed their daughter the following year. Orlando also shares son Flynn, 13, with his ex-wife, model Miranda Kerr.
Katy and British actor Orlando are close neighbors of Harry and Meghan and the couples have become friends.
The couple were reportedly among the guests invited to the third birthday party for the Duke and Duchess’ daughter, Princess Lilibet, at their £20million mansion in the chic Californian enclave favored by many A-list stars list.
This is not the first Katy to dress up in a quirky costume during the holidays, as she previously dressed up as a Christmas tree.
Just hours before performing her 2018 song Cozy Little Christmas on The Disney Holiday Singalong, Katy was decked out from head to toe in a green Christmas tree with various ornaments adorned on her.
‘Why cut down the tree when you can BE the tree. Looking forward to a Cozy Little Christmas mome tonight on @abcnetwork at 8/7c,” Katy said in her caption.
Elsewhere during her appearance in London, Katy revealed that Orlando is a better cook than her and said he will be making turkey or ham for Christmas dinner.
While filming the special concert, Katy wowed as she showed off her stunning figure in the blue co-ord set and sky-high, thigh-high silver metallic boots.

The California Girls singer later donned a gold bodysuit and glittering silver heels as she danced across the stage.
Katy Perry: Night of a Lifetime will be a 90-minute special airing on ITV and ITVX, featuring a number of special guests.
The exclusive event will feature unforgettable performances of many of Katy’s legendary hits, including ‘Firework’, ‘Roar’ and ‘I Kissed a Girl’, as well as special performances of her latest album, 143 – a first for ITV audiences.
Speaking ahead of the evening, Katy said: ‘I’m so happy to be transforming Central Hall Westminster for this very cool and fun evening for my British fans.
“I can’t wait to be back in London, one of my favorite places in the world, for this up close and personal dance party.”
Alex Scott and girlfriend Jess Glynne, as well as Ashley Roberts, Gemma Collins, Kate Garraway and Olivia Attwood were among the stars in attendance during the star-studded evening.
In April this year, Orlando reflected on how he first “fell in love” with the performer on the podcast What Now? With Trevor Noah.
“One of the things that made me fall in love with Katy was, that wasn’t really the case – she hates it when I say this, so I have to phrase it carefully – but her music was everywhere, right?” the Pirates of the Caribbean star recalled.
“When I came up it was just on every radio station, but I wasn’t aware that it wasn’t what I was listening to,” he admitted.
“But I fell in love with Katheryn, this girl from Santa Barbara—and, for that matter, with parents, pastors, who lived on food stamps. We’re not talking about glamour, Montecito,” he noted.

Katy has spoken candidly about growing up in a poor family, relying on food banks and sometimes even busking when she was a teenage girl.
Orlando grew up in a boarding school in England before landing his star role in The Lord Of The Rings when he was away from drama school for two days.
He reflected that he and Katy “meet each other with an understanding of where we came from, what we worked for, what we had to do to get where we got to.”
Orlando explained that the Firework hitmaker “absolutely demands that I evolve, right? And I feel like I’m doing the same for her. And that produces fireworks, pardon the pun, but it also creates a lot of fun and growth.’
He added, “And you know what, I wouldn’t change it for anything, even though sometimes it feels like, ‘How do we do this?’ Because we have these two huge careers and lives, and hers is even, you know, there’s even – it’s like a universe sometimes.”
Previously, Katy was married to Russell Brand from 2010 to 2012.
