Katy Perry has found her ‘Smile’ and will be celebrating on August 28th when her album of the same name arrives.
The set isn’t the only delivery the singer is making — she’s also set to give birth to her first child with Orlando Bloom.
Beaming with her beautiful bump on the latest cover of PEOPLE magazine, the singer opened up about her pregnancy and how she’s overcome hardships. And how, on the other end, she became unchained from pressures that ultimately didn’t exist.
Peep pics and quotes below…
On her being pregnant during the global health crisis and having to postpone her wedding, Perry explained:
“Every day your options change, and you don’t know what’s what. Especially being pregnant in a pandemic, it’s an emotional rollercoaster.”
She said of the commercial underperformance of 2017’s ‘Witness’:
“After being on a rocket ship and just going straight up, it was just a small change in the trajectory, but it felt seismic.
[My lowest moments felt like a] “nightmare,” You feel like you’re being attacked, and you can’t wake up.”
Sharing that she had also put her relationship with Bloom on-hold at the time, she added about find her happy:
“It’s been two-and-a-half years of trying to find my footing. It’s so easy for me to work, work, work and avoid, but I had to go on a mental and spiritual journey.
We all have negative conversations going on in your head that can take the wheel. You have to take the wheel back, and I definitely did.”
She adds that the process has helped liberate her from invisible chains:
“It got me out of this desperate loop of being the best pop star ever. I just really want to be a human being and have the dimension of life.
Now, I get to live life, and I get to bring life into the world. Finding the gratitude in this pain has been a real journey, but the outcome is worth it.”

Satanic elite
Girl, bye! 🤭😤
🎶Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it’s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky you’ll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll see the sun come shining through
For you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear maybe ever so near
That’s the time you must keep on trying
Smile- what’s the use of crying
You’ll find that life is still worth while
If you just smile
Oh that’s the time you must keep on trying
Smile what’s the use of crying
You’ll find that life is still worth while
If you just smile🎶😃😃😃😁😆😆😆😀😊
Girl move to Wisconsin and give up music already. Imagine how tired we are of hearing how depressed you are, yet you made several jokes about Britney’s meltdown. F_ck you Katy. Karma is a b****. Let’s see if you’re smiling when you see the sales of this album
🤔
They’ll still be better than Britney’s last 2 albums, lezbhonest 😂🤣
Is that a pair of shoes from her collection that she’s wearing? 🤣
She is basically letting us know this is her final big pop release. Poor Katy is dunzo. Period. She has a terrific chart run though. 5 No.1s from one album alone. She will always have that to her credit. Katy’s career will mirror Paula Abdul in the future.
Yikes @ Paula Abdul. 🤣 come on now Katy’s commercial peak lasted longer
Dua Lipa remix album is coming.
The serve is arriving.. Yasssss👏👏👏
Bey and Kunty are so 5 years agooooo 😂😂🤣
GIRLLLLL U COULD NEVA SING THE HOUSE DOWN BOOTS BUT UR IMAGE N MUSIC COULD BE BETTER JUST ADMIT WITNESS WAS TRASH GIRLLLLLLL
Some of my favorite youtube videos are of Katy singing live – HORRIBLY. So out of tune, shaky, and out of breath.
To be fair, nine #1 hits and a few more top 5’s is nothing to laugh at. Those songs have cemented her ability to play the nostalgia circuit for the rest of her life. She just won’t be able to shoot jiiizzz out of cupcake teets.
