What’s the most nerve-racking thing about performing live?
Quote:
Katy Perry: I’ll be really nervous that the press will get weird upskirt photos of an ingrown hair poking out of my leotard. Or that I might accidentally trip down some stairs and then footage of it will be on the internet forever. But that’s just a part of life. And luckily I think people are OK with that with me. For example, in the music video for Birthday, I look the worst I’ve ever looked. But I feel like if I am the one who presents how awful I look to the world, then I can go anywhere. I have room to grow. Like when my ex-husband [Russell Brand] accidentally posted a picture of me [on Twitter] without makeup I was like, “Oh, ****! I was making faces for you. Take it offline!” But of course it’s online forever. And in some ways I felt this huge relief. I didn’t have to be like Betty Boop any more. I was like, “Great! I can just look like my little brother if I want to.”
