In what might be the ultimate seal of approval, Barack Obama hailed Katy Perry as a 'wonderful person' last night.
The
U.S. President hosted the 'Dark Horse' hit-maker at a White House
dinner to honour the 46th anniversary of the Special Olympics and
admitted he felt 'grateful' she'd taken time out of her busy schedule to
be there.
Introducing
her on stage, Obama said: 'We have just one of my favorite people
performing tonight -- Katy Perry. We are so grateful to her.
'I love Katy Perry. She is just a wonderful person,' he added.
'I've
just met her mom and now I know why she is such a wonderful person, but
I just want everybody to know she is on tour right now and so, for her
to take time out to do this, is really special and we really want to say
thank you to her for doing this.'
Among
those in attendance at the dinner in the East Room of the White House
were 'Lately' hitmaker Stevie Wonder, tennis player Andy Roddick and his
model wife Brooklyn Decker.
