In the aftermath of this gripping Internet saga, The New York Times queried Perry about her social media practices, asking, "Do you ever have to hold yourself back on Twitter?" Perry's response couldn't have been better. She told the Times: "I do this thing where I just save as draft. Save as draft and sleep — and then wake up and go, 'Nah.' It’s not worth it, you know? Or I just book my therapist."
For Perry, the old adage "sleep on it" really carries some weight. Her decision to wait for morning echoes expert advice to avoid making rash decisions when angry. Saving a tweet in draft gives Perry the chance to cool down and contemplate whether posting fighting words is worth the potential consequences.
