As scheduled, pop star Katy Perry made an appearance at the 2016 Democratic National Convention yesterday (July 28) at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There, the 31-year-old chanteuse gave a powerful mini speech about the reasons why the American people should hit the polls on November 8th and why they must make the right decision when casting their vote.

“Both of my parents are pastors and staunch Republicans. I didn’t finish high school and unfortunately I don’t have a formal education, but I do have an open mind and I have a voice,” Katy said. “So I’m asking you to have an open mind and to use your voice, because on November 8 you’ll be just as powerful as any NRA lobbyist. You’ll have as much as say any billionaire or you can just cancel out your weird cousin’s vote if you like. Because remember it’s not where you come from, it’s what you grow into.”

“So here’s how I’m going to use my voice, I’m going to vote for Hillary Clinton”.

But giving a speech before the Democratic delegates and supporters wasn’t the only thing Katy had to do at the Wells Fargo Center last night, she also served a live mini-concert on the main stage performing her recent hit “Rise” and her oldie but goodie “Roar”.

LOVED the “Rise” performance, but it felt a bit awkward watching Katy perform “Roar” at this event. Too poppy? Messed up with the seriousness of the convention?
