Katy Perry Says Her Parents Voted for Donald Trump, Implores Voters to 'Remember That We All Love' Our Family
Katy Perry isn't letting political disagreements disrupt her family harmony.
The 32-year-old pop star, who has been a vocal supporter of Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election cycle, spoke briefly about her relationship with her parents during Clinton's Election Night party on Tuesday.
Perry told the crowd that her mom and dad -- who together own the evangelical Hudson Ministries in Irvine, California -- cast their ballots for Donald Trump.
"But you know what? We will still all be sitting at the same table for Thanksgiving," Perry said. "And this is the moment we need to remember that we all love our parents, and we all love our children."
Later that night, Perry had been scheduled to appear on Stephen Colbert's live Showtime election special, but never showed. According to Billboard, the "Rise" singer had filmed a pre-taped bit that was axed after Trump was announced as the president-elect.
Perry did pop up on Twitter after the election, assuring fans that "the revolution is coming" and urging them not to "sit still" or "weep."

Perry wasn't the only star moved to speak out on Tuesday night. Lady Gaga hit the streets to hold a "Love Trumps Hate" sign outside Trump Tower, while Miley Cyrus tearfully told fans that she would "accept" the new president. See more star statements in the player below.
