Katy Perry has always been quite outspoken on a range of topics – and it turns out that extends to the state of her career.
Well documented is the dismal dip that derailed her once-unstoppable train of success. And, in doing away with the “pretend it never happened” approach most Pop stars opt for, Perry has revealed that she’s more than aware of her predicament following the commercial tanking of her ‘Witness’ album.
Here’s what she had to say when speaking on her current status in an interview with Glamour magazine:
“This last year has been about killing my ego, which has been really necessary for my career. I had a lot of expectations at the end of 2015 and the end of 2016 that weren’t met. That was the firs time, in a long time, that I didn’t get my way. I think it was the universe’s way of testing me, of saying, “We’re going to see if you really do love yourself.” That was challenging for me, because I didn’t realize how much I relied on the outside validation. I though that I didn’t, but once you get kicked down the mountain a little bit, you realize that the weather really is better at the top. It’s been really necessary for me to go through that. People don’t relate to someone who is perfect or always winning anyway. You can’t always be sitting perched on top of the mountain.”
Refreshingly candid.
It remains to be seen whether she’ll be able to turn things around, but such humbleness is a smart first step. A number of her Pop peers would be well-served embracing the same.

Such humbleness is a smart first step. A number of her Pop peers would be well-served embracing the same.
Beyoncé is one of them, her ego is larger than the NGC 6872 spiral galaxy, she needs to be careful, SJWs could make her their next victim ?
Beyoncé is notoriously humble. GTFO.
A humble feminist who call other women b****** and ask them to bow down to her.
lmao true, aint nothing humble about roach, her day is coming, and her bugs nest is gonna GAG severely lmfaoooo.
I cannot believe that I agree with s****** blonde. Taylor Swift is getting her reality check too.
Worry about your flop, fake, mediocre fav Justin Timberlake, because he really thinks he’s the sh/t, when in reality, he is just that, ?
Beyonce is definitely not humble. That´s something she isn´t. One of the reasons they or she have decided to not speak in years is for that ego not to show much. Apart from how slow she sounds (I suppose there are still peopel who believes she makes her songs though. She and Rihanan fans have similar levels of delusions).
Other than that she is ok doing her thing and is sdefinitely prevailing. The change of direction with her “3” album and especially “Beyonce” was key. That was very smart and needed for her career at that moment.
Says the moo stan. John u are delusional. Mariah is one of the worst when it comes to having an inflated ego. She only puffs herself up bcuz she.’s so insecure. Beyoncé is humble &ya’ll lambs need to know when to sit da fawck down.
I did not say Mariah is humble. Madonna or Mariah have a lot of ego too. But Beyonce fans are the ones here saying Beyonce is humble. That was the point. She is not. To some extent, Mariah is more humble on certain things. It´s difficult to go out there for decades giving interviews and not show some type of not so great side. Beyonce totally avoids that exposition. And it is for a damn good reason hun.
@S****** leave Queen Bey out of this racist trash! Bey has nothing to do with this. This is all about pop diva Katy Perry and early promotion for her next album! What works for Bey is not going to work for Katy and vice versa so you only bring Bey up to hate on a black woman you miserable low life loser trash!
Y’all just can’t let a black woman win, can you? Beyonce may or may not have ego (doubtful if you actually paid attention to her). What she has is SUCCESS. She WORKS HARD. She wins at everything because she WORKS THE HARDEST TO DO SO.
it is always good to go outside of your self and take a look at your self from a different view.
She woke.
LOL…you tried it.
She just doesn’t have the lasting power of the true legends and icons of her generation! Rihanna and Beyonce get bigger every year while others peaked and fell off. Those two are the biggest icons of pop right now they create movements and cultural impacts like no other females currently. Taylor is next in line if she can keep this success up !
I have to agree with most of this! People have been waiting for Bey and Rih to fall off for years and since their debuts, we’ve seen over two dozen “top artists” fall off!
Yasss woke Bey Stan! These two are forces with successes in different fields that are unmatched by most of their peers and even the legends before them!
Forces in different fields, well said! The crazy thing is that these two ladies could go on winning forever and there will always be people still reluctant to give them the respeck they’ve earned! They’ve done enough to get just that within these last 2 decades! We need more realist! It’s difficult for some folks to give credit due to those outside of their favs!
This album was underrated. I love it❤️
It was actually pretty solid!
It really was ❤
Experimental Katy <<< Commerical Katy
If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it. Go find your wigs and whip cream tits. Evolution ain’t for everyone. (i.e. P!nk, that formula constantly works for her.)
No we just weren’t here for the Macaulay Culkin “Home Alone” look. That’s what threw us us off sis.
I have to partially agree with this. That on top of poor single choices, such as Swish Swish and Hey Hey Hey…..but that hair chop was really unflattering and I think it kinda turned a lot of people off to her in all honesty.
Wow, you’re proof just how superficial some people really are. Disgusting behavior and character. Don’t be proud of it. Acknowledge and change it, immediately.
Katy didn’t do anything wrong, it just the change in music that has always happened and will always happen. Like R&B in the 2000s, in 2010s you had too many female pop stars. Plus dance music isn’t in anymore, it happens, it will happen to trap music in a few years as well. It was a nice run.
I suppose she is now some of those throwbacks she was refering to not that long ago when DARING to talk about such a superior artist and talent and success like Mariah carey. I suppose.
Where are her two fans that were all day here saying she had killed I don´t know what careers? lol
Katy ain’t no one to talk, but Mariah a dried up, lazy studio artist that has no stage presence what so ever. The only relevancy she has is with that wack ass CHristmas song that’s old as fawck. The other legends has done more to be relevant. Mariah comes out every year just to get 3weeks of attention. Everything else she does to find new success fails.
Yes taht´s why she is one of the top 4 bishes ever LOL Try again fool!
It was the Lack of Songs produced by Dr.Luke and that aweful Haircut. She looked like trailer park trash.
Um sis….. the music and roll out sucked. Just come harder. You’ll be fine
