Katy, 38, shared a lengthy Instagram post dedicated to pal Patricia Bragg – the CEO of the wellness brand, Bragg – who died on August 10. She was 94 years old.

She shared several photos dedicated to her friend as she posed with one of the Bragg products.

She also posted selfies with Patricia and other friends and even a throwback pic of herself.

The pop music singer began her post: “My friend and health Queen Patricia Bragg was living proof that good things come in small packages.

“She may have been pint-sized, but she was bold, boisterous, and beautiful…like a fairy of happiness and health, with flowers in her hair, always singing, dancing, bouncing around doling out health quips with every twirl!”

“I have to admit, when my mom first introduced me and my siblings to Patricia (and Bragg apple cider vinegar) in the 90’s, we were bewildered by both, lol.”

The TV personality continued: “As wisdom comes with age, she ended up not only being good for my body but my soul.

As a teenager she warned me against underwire bras and always told me to stand up straight! As an adult, and now as a parent, I find myself following her sage advice. Sometimes, I put a Bragg ACV shot in Daisy’s lunch and so, it’s my little way of continuing on her legacy of ‘health is wealth.’

“She was a real believer in expression, joy, and creativity, and when I identified that music was my thing, she bought me my first guitar. She was always there for my family, like a our eccentric, health-first Auntie. So glad I got to be there for her final birthday, and that my mom was able to pray over her the day she transitioned into the light

“I’m forever grateful for my friend, the life she led dedicated to the well-being of others, and of course for that little blue guitar that changed the course of my life. Thanks for looking out for us all Patricia.”

‘SENDING YOU NOTHING BUT LOVE’

Several friends and family left nice comments on her post.

Katy’s husband, Orlando Bloom, 46, shared a red heart emoji.

Supermodel Naomi Campbell, 53, also left a few dove, heart, and prayer emojis.

One fan said: “I’m so sorry Katy… Sending love to you, friends and her family.”

“Sending love and light,” wrote another.

“Beautifully said, sending nothing but love,” a third commented.

PERRY ANNOYED

Katy is no stranger to posting on her social media accounts.

Just recently, the star shared photos of a new collection that would be available on her shoe website.

Katy Perry Collections, which launched in 2017, has had a range of new items added – but it’s not what her fans want.

Sharing a snap of the pair The Evie Stud on her businesses’ Instagram account, Katy captioned the post: “Chic & sleek for your week @katyperrycollections.”

In the comments, however, section the 38-year-old’s followers begged for something different.

One wrote: “Katy… girl we just want the music you can keep the shoes.”

“We need MUSIC,” another said as a third brutally chimed in: “You’d be amazed to know we could not care less.”

A follower added: “Is that music?” while one said, “No one cares, this is so boring!”

It’s been a while since the hitmaker released any tunes after she announced her hiatus from touring in 2018.

Katy’s last studio album Smile hit the charts in 2020.

BACK IN THE STUDIO?

Earlier this month fans spotted a “major clue” the pop star may be releasing new album in glam pic of her in a tight blue dress.

The Teenage Dream singer raised eyebrows after sharing photos of her on the set of Good Morning America.

In the Instagram pics, Katy posed sporting a body-hugging blue sequined dress, heels, a full face of makeup, and her dark locks in a sleek bun.

The mom-of-one’s accessories in the pics drew fans’ attention the most as they noticed she rocked a large butterfly ring on her left hand.

“Wait the butterfly ring,” one person pointed out in the comments at the time.

“I see the butterfly ring,” another echoed.

The butterfly holds significance to the Teenage Dream singer who liked a tweet in May about it being a symbol of a new era.
