“It’s really quite brave [to me] , ” Perry proclaimed.
“Sonically, it’s fun and dance-y and dark and light. It’s all of these things. It definitely is a change.”
“I left my 20’s and I’ ve gone to my 30’s [with this album] , ” Katy continued.
“I’ ve embraced [who I am] . I’ ve surrendered. I’ ve healed some of my issues with my family, with my relationships. Today I’ m sober, but I don’ t know about tomorrow! One day at a time, right? It’s all kind of beautiful.”
“For years, I was never sure if we were friends or not, ” Swift said of the “gurl” in the song, “ [and] she would come up to me at awards shows and say something and walk away, and I would think, ‘Are we friends, or did she just give me the harshest insult of my life?’”
Later in the interview, Swift cemented that the relationship with her “frenemy” had gone completely sour following an underhanded business move, of sorts.
“She basically tried to sabotage an entire arena tour. She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me. And I’ m surprisingly non-confrontational – you would not believe how much I hate conflict. So now, I have to avoid her. It’s awkward, and I don’ t like it.”

“That’s not my question to answer, if it’s about me, ” Katy expressed.
“One thing to note is, you can’ t mistake kindness for weakness and don’ t come for me. Anyone. And that’s not to any one person and don’ t quote me that it is, because it’s not. It’s not about that. Honestly, when women come together and they decide to unite, this world is going to be a better place. Period end of story.”
Perry did, however, allude to addressing certain issues that she’s experienced recently on the new disc — such as her troubles with Taylor.
Everything [in life] has a reaction or a consequence so don’ t forget about that, okay, honey, ” she offered with a laugh.
“We got to keep it real, honey. This record is not about anyone else! This record is about me being seen and heard so that I can see and hear everyone else! It’s about everything that I see out there that I digest. I think there’s a healing in it for me and vulnerability. If people want to connect and be healed and feel vulnerable and feel empowered and strong, God bless and here it is.”
