She's even humble about the try hard mess trying to steal the spotlight:
Quote:
Katy Perry has opened up about going head-to-head in the charts with Lady Gaga.
Perry, who put out her new single 'Roar' earlier this week, is now up against Gaga's 'Applause' after it was rush-released to iTunes yesterday (August 12).
"It's all about the music and I really agree with her message," Perry said of Gaga's track to AMP Radio. "I've always been a fan of hers and I like to see her evolution.
"I think that it's also nice that we're all in the same kind of cycle together because it really keeps us both on our toes… It's not that we feel competition, it's that we keep each other on each other's toes and it's a healthy thing."
'Roar' is currently at number one on the US iTunes tally, while Gaga's 'Applause' is at two less than 24 hours after going on sale.
Meanwhile, discussing her new album Prism - which is out on October 22 - she said: "It's a record about self-reflection and self-empowerment and learning to deal with the curve balls that life throws you every single day and how I'm going to get through them."
Lol what was the last major release that had to overtake a song that will sell 400-500k minimum while it was still fresh out the gate to get the #1? Y'all can stop acting brand new.

Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky
