#CantCancelPride Performers: Katy Perry & More
iHeartRadio had organised a virtual Pride event — ‘Can’t Cancel Pride: Helping LGBTQ+ People in Need’, and they are taking no hostages in getting the message heard. They have employed the help of Katy Perry in making the event mainstream and a number of indie and new artists were featured. #CantCancelPride is trending and the event has made a big impact in signifying June as the Pride Month.
