Katy Perry has so much love for daughter Daisy Dove.

During the singer’s final show part of her Las Vegas residency Play, Perry’s 3-year-old daughter made her first public appearance when she appeared onscreen during a segment of the Saturday evening performance.

As Perry, 39, was gearing up to perform her 2008 single “Hot n Cold,” she paused and took a moment to shout out her little one, whom she welcomed in August 2020 with fiancé Orlando Bloom.

“Daisy! I love you so much,” Perry said, as seen in fan-captured footage shared on X (formerly known as Twitter). “You’re my best friend, I’m so glad you’re here.”

“I’m gonna sing this next song — I think you know it?” the proud mom continued, speaking directly to her daughter, who was dressed in a Minnie Mouse costume in the audience.

At another point during the show, as Perry was about to close out her final Vegas residency performance, the “Roar” singer shouted out everyone who made Play the program it became — including Daisy.

In a video also shared on X by an audience member, the singer paid tribute to Bloom, 46, for being “an incredible support system” and “an amazing father.” Perry then turned her attention to their little girl, stating, “I created this show after the birth of my daughter, Daisy Dove.”

“When I met her, it was like all the love I was ever searching for finally showed up. She made me whole, and she healed me, and she showed me how to play again,” she continued. “So this show is for everyone’s inner child and for the hope that maybe if we could all see life through the eyes of a child, we would be free.”

Fans also captured video footage of Bloom and Daisy dancing along in the audience at one point during the show, when Perry performed “Chained to the Rhythm.”

Perry surprised her fans by revealing her pregnancy with Daisy in the music video for her song “Never Worn White,” which was released on March 5, 2020.

She and Bloom then teamed up with UNICEF to announce the birth of their daughter months later by sharing a black-and-white image of them holding their little one’s hand.

Last year, Perry opened up to PEOPLE about how Daisy is equal parts mom and dad, explaining, “Daisy is great. She is a combination of both me and her father, which we are fearless with lots of chutzpah and just big characters. So the combination of us both is definitely coming out.”

“It’s amazing to see everything new again through a toddler’s eyes,” the mother of one added.

Perry also detailed how Daisy was a part of her Vegas touring schedule, telling PEOPLE, “Daisy’s with me all the time, and she loves seeing Mama get ready and turn into the character. And I get to give bath time between 6:00 and 7:00. It’s a great routine. I thrive on routine.”
