Pelosi goes viral again after appearing to recreate State of the Union clap with Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is going viral again after she recreated the viral applause she gave to President Trump during his State of the Union address while alongside Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom at an event on Friday.
The three were seen together at the Los Angeles Convention Center on Friday night, where music legend Dolly Parton was being honored by MusiCares with its person of the year award.

Pelosi’s husband also could be seen laughing as he stood alongside the trio during their photo-op.

Though Pelosi drew attention from many on social media earlier this week for what people called a “sarcastic clap” she directed at Trump during his State of the Union speech, the California Democrat told reporters on Wednesday that the applause was sincere.
“It wasn’t sarcastic,” she said, according to Fox News.
“I wanted him to know that was a very welcome message,” she added at the time.
However, Pelosi’s comments about her emphatic applause, which came in response to Trump’s call for an end to “revenge politics” during his address, didn’t stop the moment from becoming one of the more memorable images of Tuesday’s address.
