Clinton attended the [UNICEF Snowflake Ball](http://www.unicefsnowflake.org/) in New York, and presented the Audrey Hepburn Humanitarian Award to Katy Perry in a [surprise appearance](https://twitter.com/i/moments/803926462407524352). A [strong supporter](http://time.com/4086370/katy-perry-hillary-clinton-instagram/?iid=sr-link2) of the Democratic presidential nominee during the election campaign, Perry has been an ambassador for the charity since 2013. > [](https://twitter.com/unicefusa/status/803807336221605892) > [](https://twitter.com/unicefusa/status/803808827938369537) “She is serious about understanding the complex problems we face and pulling people together to solve them,” Clinton said as she introduced Perry, [PEOPLE reports](http://people.com/celebrity/hillary-clinton-surprise-appearance-unicef-ball-katy-perry/). “We need champions like Katy now more than ever, her passion, her energy and, yes, her voice, louder than a lion.” Perry was one of [many celebrities](http://motto.time.com/4361210/hillary-clinton-nomination-celebrity-support/?iid=sr-link6) that vocally supported Clinton in her campaign for the presidency. The singer was reportedly moved to tears, and paid tribute to Clinton in her acceptance speech, saying “I’ve always had a voice – a singing voice – but I’ve never had a voice like I’ve had before. Hillary has lit that voice inside of me, and that light will never go out, it will continue to get brighter and brighter and brighter.” Hillary Clinton Honors Katy Perry at Charity Ball ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4585876/hillary-clinton-katy-perry-unicef/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4585876/hillary-clinton-katy-perry-unicef/"},"headline":"Hillary Clinton Honors Katy Perry in Surprise Appearance at Charity Ball","datePublished":"2016-11-30T12:51:11.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T09:06:13.442Z","description":"Clinton presented the UNICEF award to Perry on Tuesday night","url":"https://time.com/4585876/hillary-clinton-katy-perry-unicef/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Hillary Clinton","celebrities","Katy Perry","UNICEF"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3d6b62d1d1c61dca/6988b0055f570f7004b2369c/gettyimages-626556610.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Suyin Haynes","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/suyin-haynes/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3d6b62d1d1c61dca/6988b0055f570f7004b2369c/gettyimages-626556610.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"12th Annual UNICEF Snowflake Ball Honoring UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Katy Perry and Philanthropist Moll Anderson - Inside","caption":"12th Annual UNICEF Snowflake Ball Honoring UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Katy Perry and Philanthropist Moll Anderson - Inside","creditText":"Jason Kempin—Getty Images for UNICEF","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4585876/hillary-clinton-katy-perry-unicef/","name":"Hillary Clinton Honors Katy Perry in Surprise Appearance at Charity Ball"}}]}] ```
