Jason Kempin—Getty Images for UNICEF by [Suyin Haynes](https://time.com/author/suyin-haynes/) ## Suyin Haynes Nov 30, 2016 12:51 PM UTC [Hillary Clinton](http://motto.time.com/4564667/hillary-clinton-apologizes-concession-speech/?iid=sr-link3) has made her second public appearance since losing the U.S. presidential election, as she presented singer Katy Perry with a humanitarian award on Tuesday evening. 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.” ```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"}}]}] ```
