Katy Perry Edits Harrison Butker's Controversial Commencement Speech

On Saturday (June 1), Katy posted a video on Instagram, editing the Kansas City Chiefs kicker’s Benedictine College speech which went viral in May, as he attacked the LGBTQ+ community and women who work. The edit changed the speech so it now appeared to be in support of the groups he disparaged.

The edited snippet from the 2024 commencement address has Harrison saying: “For the ladies present today, congratulations on an amazing accomplishment. You should be proud of all that you have achieved to this point in your young lives.”
“How many of you are sitting here now, about to cross this stage, and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you’re going to get in your career? I would venture to guess the women here today are going to lead successful careers in the world,” the edited speech declares.
“I say all of this to you because I have seen it firsthand, how much happier someone can be supporting women and not saying that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world,” he went on the edited version of the address. “The road ahead is bright, things are changing, society is shifting and people young and old are embracing diversity equity and inclusion.”
“With that said, I want to say happy Pride Month to all of you,” the edited speech continued, ending with him saying: “And congratulations Class of 2024.”
