SHE RANKED HER
BESTLO
TLOVERS!
During a stomach-turning game of “Spill Your Guts or F ill
l
Your Guts” with James Corden, Perry—to avoid eating a
1,000-year-old egg—revealed Diplo was least impressive
in bed, followed by Orlando Bloom. Though John Maye
er
snagged the top spot, “they’re all amazing lovers, and
I would have sex with all of them!” she said.

SHE’S FREE OF
BAD BLOOD.
Perry recently told
NME that Swift, 27,
tried to “assassinate
my character”
following a
disagreement over
backup dancers.
But she was more
contrite on her live
stream. “I forgive
her, and I’m sorry
for anything I ever
did,” she told
Arianna Huffington
about Swift, who
coincidentally
(or not) made
her entire back
catalog available on
streaming services
at the exact
moment Perry
released Witness.
SHE OPENED UP ABOUT SUICIDAL THOUGHTS.
As a way of revealing her more “authentic self” to fans, a te
arful
Perry—who has said Witness is meant to be “purposeful pop op”—
shared her struggles with alcohol and depression in a raw session
with The Therapist’s Dr. Siri Sat Nam Singh. “I feel ashamed
thatt I
would have those thoughts [and] feel that low,” she said ab
bout
her previous suicidal feelings. “I just want to be loved.”
“I’m
really
strong as Katy
Perry, and
sometimes I’m
not as strong as
Katheryn
Hudson,” she
said.
