Katy Perry Sets One Rule for Daughter Daisy Dove After Her Roof-Climbing Plan
Katy Perry has revealed a funny but firm parenting moment involving her 6-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove. The singer recently learnt that Daisy had taken one of her famous song lyrics quite literally — and Perry was quick to make one thing clear.
During an interview with Entertainment Tonight published Aug. 27, Perry said Daisy was singing along to “The One That Got Away” and noticed the lyric about stealing a parent’s liquor and climbing onto a roof.
According to Perry, Daisy told her that she planned to do it when she was older. Perry’s response was immediate: that particular adventure would not be happening.
Katy Perry Quickly Shut Down Daisy’s Rooftop Idea
Perry recalled Daisy talking about recreating the scene from the song when she grows up.
The singer jokingly responded that her daughter would not be doing it, adding that their roof was too high.
The moment offered a glimpse into the dynamic between Perry and her daughter. While the comment was playful, it also showed Perry drawing a clear line around something that could become dangerous.
“The One That Got Away” was released as part of Perry’s Teenage Dream era. Apple Music lists the song’s release date as Aug. 24, 2010.
The song later became one of Perry’s best-known tracks, making Daisy’s reaction especially amusing for fans familiar with its lyrics.
Daisy Dove Is Already Showing a Fearless Personality
Perry also gave some insight into Daisy’s personality.
She described her daughter as direct and fearless, saying she sees qualities of both herself and Daisy’s father, actor Orlando Bloom, in the 6-year-old.
That description helps explain why the singer was not entirely surprised by Daisy’s adventurous idea.
Still, Perry appears to be enjoying this energetic stage of her daughter’s childhood. Rather than focusing only on the challenges of parenting, she has also shared several sweet stories about Daisy growing up.
Daisy’s First Tooth Came With an Unusual Tooth Fairy Surprise
One of those moments involved Daisy losing her first baby tooth.
Perry said Daisy specifically wanted orange Tic Tacs, a favourite associated with her mother. The tooth fairy, therefore, delivered a small bag of the candy as part of the surprise.
For Daisy, the unusual gift was a big hit.
The story is another example of how Perry appears to be embracing the small, everyday milestones of her daughter’s childhood.
Katy Perry Is Saving Her Stage Costumes for Daisy
Perry also revealed that Daisy has another unusual collection waiting for her in the future: some of her mother’s concert costumes.
The singer said she has kept many of her performance outfits for Daisy to wear when she is older. Perry added that there are plenty of clothes and costumes available for Daisy’s cousins as well.
It is a very different kind of childhood hand-me-down. Instead of ordinary family clothes, Daisy could eventually have access to pieces from Perry’s years as a pop performer.
Daisy Recently Celebrated Her Sixth Birthday
The comments about Daisy’s personality come shortly after her sixth birthday.
Perry marked the occasion with a family trip to LEGOLAND California Resort in Carlsbad. She shared a series of photos from the celebration on Instagram and described the day as a chance to build memories together. E! News reported that Daisy’s birthday celebration included LEGO-themed activities and a customised birthday outfit.
Other reports also noted that Perry gave fans a rare glimpse of the birthday celebration while continuing to keep much of Daisy’s private life away from the spotlight.
Daisy is Perry’s daughter with Orlando Bloom. The former couple have continued to share parenting responsibilities following their split.
A Different Side of Katy Perry’s Life
For Perry, moments like these offer a look beyond her career as a global pop star.
Her comments about Daisy combine humour with the everyday realities of raising a young child. One minute, she is explaining why her daughter cannot climb onto the roof. Next, she is talking about a tooth fairy delivering orange Tic Tacs.
Meanwhile, Perry is already thinking ahead by preserving some of her iconic stage wardrobe for Daisy.
For now, though, the singer seems happy to let her daughter enjoy being 6 — adventurous personality and all — while making sure some of the more dangerous ideas stay in the lyrics.
What Is “The One That Got Away” About?
Katy Perry’s “The One That Got Away” comes from her 2010 album Teenage Dream. Apple Music credits Perry, Max Martin and Dr Luke among the song’s writers and lists Aug. 24, 2010, as its release date.
The song looks back on a relationship that ended and imagines what might have happened in another life. One of its verses contains the rooftop reference that caught Daisy’s attention.
That connection made the mother-daughter exchange particularly fitting — and unintentionally funny.
