Hillary Clinton's campaign was quite the star-studded affair, but one of her most prominent celebrity champions was Katy Perry -- and it turns out Clinton helped Perry grow a lot politically and personally.
Following Clinton's surprise visit to Tuesday's UNICEF Snowflake Ball to present Perry with the Audrey Hepburn Humanitarian Award, Perry posted a photo of the two alongside a lengthy caption last night.
"I was profoundly moved and thoroughly surprised when Hillary showed up to give me this award. I broke down and wept watching her take the stage," she wrote, continuing later that, "Hillary helped me see that we're all in this together, no matter where we come from, what color we are, or what status and education we have or don't have."
"From the outside it probably looks as though I've always had a 'voice.' Truth is, I have never had one like I have found in the past year. I have a found a new voice, a more determined voice," Perry admitted. "Hillary lit a fire inside of me that burns brighter and brighter every day, and that fire will NEVER be put out." That said, she also said that this all has made her even more "MOTIVATED to fight against social injustice and to promote equality and kindness as best I know how, through my art and influence."
"I am continually inspired by her strength and how she continues to rise like the Phoenix she is, every time," Perry said, finishing simply by saying, "Hell hath no fury like a woman REBORN."
