. The mother-daughter duo enjoyed some fun hanging out at New York City's Madison Square Garden amid Katy Perry's ongoing Lifetimes tour, reports People magazine.
The singer-songwriter recently shared a sweet snap of her little girl dressed up like a mini-me version of the 'Firework' singer, clad in a belted rainbow striped metallic dress, white socks and black Mary Jane shoes.
As per People, the little cutie was playing with a small puppy toy complete with a leash as her proud mom looked on, grinning. Perry, 40, rocked thigh-high black boots and a rust-colored strapless dress.
"East coast I love you. Sorry I wrote a song about the West Coast being better but here's a East Coast splat to make up for it", the singer captioned the images from her recent tour stops on Instagram. "LAST 5 US SHOWS START NOW RALEIGH, NASHVILLE, ATLANTA, TAMPA, MIAMI (sic)".
In another photo included in the carousel, Daisy is seen lying down inside of a lunar module (perhaps searching for "E.T."?) at Boston's Museum of Science.
And Daisy wasn't the only one Perry brought along on her travels. The singer also shared an adorable video of her and ex Bloom's dog, Nugget, deeply sleeping on a couch, asking, "Nugget, are you good? Did you have a long night?" The 'I Kissed a Girl' singer performed at MSG on August 11 as a part of her Lifetimes tour. She sold out the 19,500-seat arena despite speculation that it wouldn't be possible.
As the Grammy-nominated performer greeted the crowd, she began, "They said, 'No way! MSG, it couldn't be done'. And I was scared too".
She then joked that she was scared she'd be eating a "hot dog from the corner" rather than performing a sold-out show.

Jennifer Lopez has 'come a long way' over the past year since her divorce from Ben Affleck: Source

Washington, DC [US], August 21 (ANI): Jennifer Lopez seems to be focusing on her work and personal happiness a year after her split from Ben Affleck. The actor-singer, who turned 56 in July, has been keeping busy with concerts, films, and new projects. Over the summer, Lopez went on her "Up All Night Tour" across the globe. A source told PEOPLE that she has been "having the time of her life" while performing for fans. The source added, "She loved connecting with fans all over the world. The tour was amazing. It's been a great focus for her. She's been doing what she really enjoys." Lopez, who is mother to 17-year-old twins Max and Emme, is also preparing for the release of her new movie musical 'Kiss of the Spider Woman.' The film was shot last year in New York when, according to the source, she and Affleck were "going through a difficult time." The insider shared that Lopez has "come a long way since. She's very happy and just grateful for her life." Lopez and Affleck officially finalised their divorce in January 2025 after listing April 26, 2024, as their separation date. This isn't the first time Lopez has remained active after a personal setback. In the weeks after her divorce filing, she made a public appearance at the Toronto International Film Festival to promote 'Unstoppable,' a wrestling biopic she starred in and Affleck produced. Her next big screen release, Kiss of the Spider Woman, directed by Bill Condon, also stars Diego Luna and Tonatiuh Elizarraraz. The film is set to release on October 10, 2025. (ANI)

#aninchAugust challenge to fuel your creativity

Imagine scrolling past a pen-and-ink sketch of Nagarjuna in Coolie, a seven-spotted ladybug, a 3D reproductive system, or even a quilted butterfly — all crafted within the space of an inch. That is the premise of the ongoing #AnInchAugust challenge on Instagram. Now in its eighth year, the initiative by Hyderabad-based architects Meghalika Panduru and Neha Sharma has become a pocket-sized stage for boundless creativity. Creative challenge The duo first met as colleagues at Shankar Narayan Architects in Secunderabad, where a shared love for art drew them together. 'Architecture is a creative field, but it can slip into monotony with deadlines and client briefs — play was missing in our work-life balance,' recalls Meghalika. Neha adds, 'We were designing for others but never making time for ourselves. We wanted to return to the simple joy of sketching, scribbling, or colouring for no reason at all.' Art soon became a mode of self-expression. But the idea was not just to keep their creativity alive. It was also about pushing themselves, and like-minded enthusiasts, to make art within a single inch. Why an inch? Meghalika explains, 'A big canvas can feel overwhelming. You're faced with so much empty space to fill that it kills motivation. Working in an inch keeps it playful and doable.' Love for Nature The team collaborates this year with Soul Forest India on the theme of 'biodiversity'. While artists have been showing their love for Nature and biodiversity in an inch, macrophotographers have a great time with monsoon species activity. With an inch as a canvas, the challenge — post an art work on Instagram everyday with the hashtag #AnInchAugust was open to everyone — those who have an interest in art but do not find the time to pursue it, or people looking for creative hobbies and those who have never tried art in their lives. The choice of August happened organically. Steady rise Since its first year in August 2018, the community grew making space for macro photography the following year, (particularly insects and small life on earth). 'Photographers Peteri Prashant and Durga Shankar have been among the first ones to participate in macro photography and encourage others as well. People have also tried their hands at digital painting,' says Neha, who is now a consultant with Soul Forest India and drew Madhubani art, elements of Nature and her favourite emojis. With around 8,000 posts so far, participants have tried diverse themes, mediums, and styles such as pencil sketching, colour pencil sketching, painting (water colours, acrylic, oil paints, and more), sculpting — clay, paper mache, quilling and paper cut art, and even pottery. Micro artworks (engraved in pencil lead) including crochet in an inch also have been explored. New initiative Tirupati's art and photography community too has taken up this challenge. Art lovers of the town and members of Urban Sketchers Tirupati host 'Aninchaugust Tirupati Edition' and celebrate the sacred town's culture. Meghalika, who is good at recreating artworks by other artists, says, 'Even though I was copying others'works, the perspective was different and it was exciting to do it within an inch.' Collaborations From introducing Sunday's themes and art prompts ('Your favourite childhood memory, movie and food.') and collaborating with groups like Beyond Hyderabad to organising meet-ups, the challenge experimented with ideas to sustain the interest. The team displays works of the participants at a venue (it was held at a cafe and T-Works as the community grew) on the last Sunday of August. To be held on August 31 this year, the venue is to be decided. Finally, Meghalika says, the idea of posting a work everyday is to stay motivated and consistent. 'If you are unable to post it everyday, there is nothing to lose. It's only about being motivated and open to creative challenges. One can board this train at any point in August.'
