Leading up to the release of the music video, Perry hosted a live event where she talked to the “Katy Cats” directly.

“There’s a lot that’s happening this summer. Not only will I be giving birth, literally, and figuratively…to something you guys have been waiting for,” Perry said.

The song’s video ends with Perry rubbing her belly, wearing a white dress, and showing off her baby bump. Keeping the secret a secret was one of the hardest tasks for the American Idol judge.

“I’m excited, we’re excited, and happy. It’s probably the longest secret I’ve ever had to keep,” she added. “I thought I would tell you guys in the best way through a piece of music.”

The “Teenage Dream” crooner also mentioned that she had no other choice but to reveal the news as her baby bump was getting too obvious.

“While it’s not the lead single, it’s a good way to start out,” Perry also said. “I had to reveal it [the pregnancy] at some point. It’s getting pretty obvious.”
