She’s currently in the throes of new motherhood after welcoming the arrival of her first child, daughter Daisy Dove, with fiancé Orlando Bloom in August.

And Katy Perry had nothing but glowing words to share about the experiences she’s had raising her five-month-old offspring as she took part in a Q&A on Thursday.

The singer, 36, told fans how her bundle of joy has ‘changed [her] life’ as she spoke to them while launching her Coca-Cola Open To Better can on Instagram Live.

She said of her offspring: ‘She changed my life and still continues to change my life,’ before sharing how she has learned to prioritise time with her child. 

Katy continued: ‘I think that you realise that when you become a mother… you just have to focus on being a mom.

‘And it’s not because you don’t love other people, it’s not because of anything besides you just want to be a great mom.

‘So a lot of stuff falls away when you become a mom and it is the best job in the world. I highly recommend it when you’re ready.’

Despite her demanding schedule, the pop star and American Idol host has also learned to slow down and cherish each day as her daughter quickly grows. 

She said: ‘I see my daughter change so much in the past five months and looking back at photos it’s like, “Whoa”. You see time in human form and it’s like… Now she’s got chunky cheeks.’

‘In a way, it’s really encouraged me to be even more present and to value every day,’ the California native added. ‘And all we have is this moment. That’s what’s promised is this moment and nothing else.’

Katy took part in the Q&A to promote her limited edition Coca-Cola can, which features her pledge for the year, ‘I Promise to Meditate’. Proceeds will go to her chosen charity, the anti-poverty organisation ONE.
