In a recent interview with NPR's Weekend Edition, Katy Perry opened up about being considered an inspiration to young girls.
Perry: …I do see myself becoming this, whatever, inspiration out of default right now, ’cause it’s such a strange world. Like females in pop – everybody’s getting naked. I mean, I’ve been naked before but I don’t feel like I have to always get naked to be noticed. But it’s interesting to see…
NPR: Are you talking about anyone in particular or we can fill in the blank?
PERRY: I’m not talking about anyone in particular. I’m talking about all of them. I mean, it’s like everybody’s so naked. It’s like put it away. We know you’ve got it. I got it too. I’ve taken it off for – I’ve taken it out here and there. And I’m not necessarily judging. I’m just saying sometimes it’s nice to play that card but also it’s nice to play other cards. And I know I have that sexy card in my deck but I don’t always have to use that card. And especially like with this new song called “Unconditionally” that’s on the record.
Are you unable to read? She clearly admitted she's been naked herself too, but she's talking about girls like Cyrus and Gaga overplaying the nudity card.
