Katy Perry gave the debut performance of “Only Love” at the 2020 American Music Awards on Sunday.
In the first performance since giving birth to daughter, Daisy, Perry was joined by former Hootie and the Blowfish frontman Darius Rucker for a “reimagined” version of the song.

Right before she hit the stage, Perry dedicated the song to her dad, Maurice Keith Hudson, by sharing a cute photo of her as a baby with him.
Perry’s act also falls on the 10 year anniversary of when she performed “Firework” on the AMAs stage.
