‘I am happy and my body feels good’
She has been in limelight ever since the news of her pregnancy came out in March this year. Singer Katy Perry, who is expecting her first child with fiancé Orlando Bloom, has been taking the internet by storm with her pregnancy posts on social media. Recently, the American pop sensation, uploaded a picture on her Instagram account showing her baby bump. She captioned the image, ‘Never too pregnant for a crop [top]’. When asked her about her pregnancy, and how she feels, she says, “Yeah, it is good, and I am happy and my body feels good.”
The Roar hitmaker will soon be performing in her first digital concert, which might also be her last one before delivery. “It is my first time at Tomorrowland Around the World — The Digital Festival. And yeah, it possibly could be the last one [before I give birth] other than the ones in my shower,” she says with a laugh.
The 35-year-old singer has been vocal about being in a dark place while writing her new album Smile. When asked how she manages to write upbeat songs when she is feeling low, she says, “It is like my higher self or better self from my spirit side takes the wheel and says, ‘scoot over, I am channelling a little inspiring message for you and hopefully, it will inspire you to continue further and therefore, may be inspire someone else’. I have said it in the past, too. When I wrote Firework and Roar, I was really bummed, and I had to push myself into thinking in a different way, and through that push I usually get something special.”
Going forward, since digital concerts look like the new normal for a while, it is still a debate if digital concerts like Tomorrowland and the recently-concluded Sunburn Home Festival should be ticketed or be streamed for free. Speaking about it, Perry says, “The performances are not on a video conference and not from our couches. They are different from whatever you tune into during quarantine. It’s worth a ticket.”
