3
00:00:21,255 --> 00:00:22,690
( cheering )
4
00:00:22,723 --> 00:00:26,427
- Katy Perry is officially among
the most successful and
5
00:00:26,460 --> 00:00:30,664
celebrated female
entertainers on the planet
6
00:00:30,698 --> 00:00:34,335
Since her 2008 debut,
America's reigning pop queen
7
00:00:34,368 --> 00:00:37,371
has sealed her place
in music royalty.
8
00:00:41,142 --> 00:00:43,277
- Hi everybody. Welcome
to the behind-the-scenes
9
00:00:43,311 --> 00:00:45,579
of the Hello Katy tour.
10
00:00:45,613 --> 00:00:47,115
Ah!
11
00:00:47,148 --> 00:00:48,616
Shh.
12
00:00:51,519 --> 00:00:54,822
I think we should go
and just say hi.
13
00:00:54,855 --> 00:00:57,591
They might freak out a
little bit.
14
00:00:57,625 --> 00:00:58,692
Should we do it?
15
00:00:58,726 --> 00:01:01,229
Yes? Yes? Yes?
16
00:01:01,262 --> 00:01:03,731
( cheering )
17
00:01:16,410 --> 00:01:19,747
- Katy's assent to mega stardom
has been so dramatic,
18
00:01:19,780 --> 00:01:22,883
that she's the only woman
in history to have
19
00:01:22,916 --> 00:01:27,121
five number one singles
from the same album.
20
00:01:28,789 --> 00:01:31,892
Few know the real story
of Katy's bumpy ride
21
00:01:31,925 --> 00:01:37,398
to super stardom and how success
very nearly passed her by.
22
00:01:37,431 --> 00:01:42,570
- She was very, very, very, very
nervous, literally shaking.
23
00:01:42,603 --> 00:01:45,906
She was right next to me,
and she was just,
24
00:01:45,939 --> 00:01:48,142
like, her whole body
was convulsing.
25
00:01:49,310 --> 00:01:51,645
- It's been quite the journey.
26
00:01:51,679 --> 00:01:54,648
I was signed to major
labels and dropped.
27
00:01:54,682 --> 00:01:57,285
They wanted me to be
like whatever was popular,
28
00:01:57,318 --> 00:01:59,520
like the Avril Lavigne,
the Ashley Simpson,
29
00:01:59,553 --> 00:02:03,257
the Kelly Clarkson at the time,
who I-- I like those girls,
30
00:02:03,291 --> 00:02:04,625
but I just wanted to be me.
31
00:02:06,327 --> 00:02:09,497
When I was a kid, I grew up
in this very sheltered,
32
00:02:09,530 --> 00:02:12,533
kind of
suppressive atmosphere.
33
00:02:12,566 --> 00:02:14,502
- She wasn't allowed
to watch any TV.
34
00:02:14,535 --> 00:02:16,637
Bedtime stories were
just Bible verses.
35
00:02:16,670 --> 00:02:18,172
Church was all she knew.
36
00:02:18,206 --> 00:02:20,708
- Her parents are
Pentecostal ministers.
37
00:02:20,741 --> 00:02:22,710
They came to the show
in Paris
38
00:02:22,743 --> 00:02:24,745
and they were
very reserved people.
39
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,617
- And when everything went mad
about Russell Brand and her,
40
00:02:29,650 --> 00:02:31,719
and she was on the front
cover of every magazine,
41
00:02:31,752 --> 00:02:34,555
it was a weekly kind
of Katy Perry fix.
42
00:02:34,588 --> 00:02:38,559
- My comedy now is all about
sort of domesticity
43
00:02:38,592 --> 00:02:41,195
and looking after cats
and burglar alarms
44
00:02:41,229 --> 00:02:42,963
and oh, cleaning your
teeth together
45
00:02:42,996 --> 00:02:45,833
When it used to be about roaring
through the London streets
46
00:02:45,866 --> 00:02:48,469
with razor blades
and ticker tape and glitter
47
00:02:48,502 --> 00:02:49,803
all over your tongue.
48
00:02:49,837 --> 00:02:54,842
- We're getting married,
and we're gonna wear white.
49
00:02:54,975 --> 00:02:57,678
- I was really surprised
because they just met
50
00:02:57,711 --> 00:02:59,880
and then all of a sudden
they're getting married.
51
00:02:59,913 --> 00:03:02,350
- It's extraordinary how
when Katy and Russell
52
00:03:02,383 --> 00:03:04,518
got together the speed at
which they kind of
53
00:03:04,552 --> 00:03:06,220
committed
to each other.
54
00:03:06,254 --> 00:03:07,921
- We interviewed Katy around
the time she was about
55
00:03:07,955 --> 00:03:12,426
to get married to Russell,
and she said, you know,
56
00:03:12,460 --> 00:03:14,962
when someone's the one
you just know.
57
00:03:14,995 --> 00:03:17,231
She's a real romantic
like that.
58
00:03:17,265 --> 00:03:19,467
- Katy was in her mid-twenties,
59
00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:21,602
awash with sex hormones
at that age.
60
00:03:21,635 --> 00:03:24,238
Your biology is
positively screaming
61
00:03:24,272 --> 00:03:26,974
I want to find someone
to have babies with.
62
00:03:27,007 --> 00:03:28,776
- She was going with
her gut instinct.
63
00:03:28,809 --> 00:03:30,744
- Now, when you're awash
with those hormones
64
00:03:30,778 --> 00:03:33,981
and you connect at the kind
of animal level,
65
00:03:34,014 --> 00:03:35,749
then you don't
make good choices.
66
00:03:35,783 --> 00:03:37,518
- The romantic element
I keep private
67
00:03:37,551 --> 00:03:38,919
because it's between me
and my lovely wife.
68
00:03:38,952 --> 00:03:42,022
The crazy element,
you've seen my books.
69
00:03:42,055 --> 00:03:43,724
Waking up in rooms full
of refugees,
70
00:03:43,757 --> 00:03:46,327
hanging off of boats,
arrested in crack houses.
71
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:47,761
I had a ridiculous life.
72
00:03:47,795 --> 00:03:49,963
- When you break up after
a whirlwind relationship,
73
00:03:49,997 --> 00:03:52,800
you know people are thinking,
I told you so.
74
00:03:52,833 --> 00:03:54,435
And how foolish would you
feel when you
75
00:03:54,468 --> 00:03:57,938
had this ridiculously
huge marriage in India,
76
00:03:57,971 --> 00:04:01,509
and then it all falls apart,
you know, like a year later.
77
00:04:02,576 --> 00:04:04,545
- After coming through a
dark period
78
00:04:04,578 --> 00:04:08,316
and a dark time where I lost
a lot of my self-confidence
79
00:04:08,349 --> 00:04:12,853
because I was let down, or--
and I got very upset
80
00:04:12,886 --> 00:04:13,921
in my personal life,
81
00:04:13,954 --> 00:04:17,458
and so through that I lost
a lot of my strength.
82
00:04:17,491 --> 00:04:21,829
And I had to turn inward.
83
00:04:26,534 --> 00:04:27,935
- You love who you love.
84
00:04:27,968 --> 00:04:30,338
You can't make yourself
stop dreaming
85
00:04:30,371 --> 00:04:32,473
of who you're dreaming
of you know?
86
00:04:32,506 --> 00:04:33,341
- I don't know.
87
00:04:33,374 --> 00:04:35,042
I still believe in love,
most definitely.
88
00:04:35,075 --> 00:04:37,077
I'm just gonna
let that take the lead.
89
00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:39,847
- One thing is certain,
the ups and downs
90
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,616
of Katy Perry's
spectacular life
91
00:04:42,650 --> 00:04:46,286
will always work their
way into her music.
92
00:04:52,893 --> 00:04:56,430
There is much that's paradoxical
about Katy Perry.
93
00:04:56,464 --> 00:04:58,799
It's all part of
her unique charm.
94
00:04:59,733 --> 00:05:02,035
Behind the kittens
and cupcake cuteness,
95
00:05:02,069 --> 00:05:05,105
there lies a steely,
unsentimental attitude
96
00:05:05,138 --> 00:05:08,609
towards the industry
that sustains her.
97
00:05:12,079 --> 00:05:17,084
- I'm gonna take you on a
little tour, no pun intended.
98
00:05:17,818 --> 00:05:19,353
This is Vern.
99
00:05:19,853 --> 00:05:22,656
He makes this happen,
runs things.
100
00:05:27,060 --> 00:05:29,062
That's where we keep
all the bad people.
101
00:05:30,798 --> 00:05:32,366
The bad fans.
102
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,369
- Katy Perry isn't
a classic pop princess.
103
00:05:35,403 --> 00:05:36,737
She's a real tigress.
104
00:05:37,471 --> 00:05:39,840
- There are definitely
two Katys.
105
00:05:39,873 --> 00:05:43,744
She treated us very well,
was very gracious.
106
00:05:43,777 --> 00:05:46,480
Katy's personality is quite
difficult to gauge because
107
00:05:46,514 --> 00:05:48,582
she does seem to exist in
two places,
108
00:05:48,616 --> 00:05:51,685
and the Katy Perry persona
has one personality
109
00:05:51,719 --> 00:05:53,954
which is obviously
the projection,
110
00:05:53,987 --> 00:05:55,656
and then there's her.
111
00:05:55,689 --> 00:05:58,025
- We don't have
the damn strawberries.
112
00:05:59,693 --> 00:06:01,662
Bradford, this sucks.
113
00:06:01,695 --> 00:06:03,397
We don't have strawberries.
114
00:06:05,165 --> 00:06:06,934
- You gave them all
away last night.
115
00:06:06,967 --> 00:06:09,570
- I gave my strawberries
away last night.
116
00:06:09,603 --> 00:06:11,539
We have these specially-made
strawberries that you
117
00:06:11,572 --> 00:06:13,907
can probably see all
over the Internet
118
00:06:13,941 --> 00:06:16,109
because we get them made.
119
00:06:16,143 --> 00:06:17,811
They're larger than life.
They're about this big.
120
00:06:17,845 --> 00:06:19,980
And then we toss them out
into the audience
121
00:06:20,013 --> 00:06:22,916
and they kind of, like, bounce
them around like beach balls.
122
00:06:22,950 --> 00:06:25,686
- There were a couple of moments
on the first two gigs
123
00:06:25,719 --> 00:06:27,488
when the video screens
didn't work.
124
00:06:27,521 --> 00:06:29,790
A couple of the production
managers got bawled out.
125
00:06:29,823 --> 00:06:32,793
We saw them running away
from the production office
126
00:06:32,826 --> 00:06:34,628
sort of looking
very disgruntled.
127
00:06:34,662 --> 00:06:38,666
So she runs a tight ship,
and she wasn't very happy
about that.
128
00:06:39,867 --> 00:06:42,903
- Where's my cherry Chapstick?
129
00:06:42,936 --> 00:06:45,606
Bradford, do you have my
cherry Chapstick?
130
00:06:45,639 --> 00:06:48,108
A man should never have
a woman's cherry Chapstick.
131
00:06:48,141 --> 00:06:51,812
- Katy is very different
from a lot of stars.
132
00:06:51,845 --> 00:06:53,046
While we were
there rehearsing,
133
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,948
she was just nice enough
to introduce herself
134
00:06:54,982 --> 00:06:57,818
to everyone, and she didn't
come in like she--
135
00:06:57,851 --> 00:06:59,753
she owned the place,
even though it was
136
00:06:59,787 --> 00:07:01,989
all about her, you know,
it was her show.
137
00:07:02,022 --> 00:07:05,025
She was just really humble,
which was nice to work with.
138
00:07:06,159 --> 00:07:07,160
- Hello.
139
00:07:08,529 --> 00:07:12,700
Oh, yes, my microphone stand.
140
00:07:12,733 --> 00:07:13,801
Hold on, stay right here.
141
00:07:13,834 --> 00:07:16,470
- When we got onto her tour bus,
that was definitely
142
00:07:16,504 --> 00:07:18,706
the peek behind the curtain,
and you felt like
143
00:07:18,739 --> 00:07:21,475
you were meeting
the real Katy there.
144
00:07:21,509 --> 00:07:25,579
And having just been exposed
to Katy Perry for four weeks,
145
00:07:25,613 --> 00:07:27,981
and that larger-than-life
persona, and she looks like
146
00:07:28,015 --> 00:07:31,552
a doll, and her eyelashes
are insane and, you know,
147
00:07:31,585 --> 00:07:34,955
she's wearing six-inch heels
whenever you see her,
148
00:07:34,988 --> 00:07:37,224
so she towers over you,
and then you meet
149
00:07:37,257 --> 00:07:39,527
the real person and
she's just this sort of
150
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,530
quite fragile girl in a
Juicy couture track suit
151
00:07:42,563 --> 00:07:44,898
and some Uggs with her hair
in a scrunchie.
152
00:07:44,932 --> 00:07:48,769
( cheering )
153
00:07:48,802 --> 00:07:53,140
- So I like a theme, like
I told you, kittens and fruit.
154
00:07:53,173 --> 00:07:54,608
I don't know why.
155
00:07:54,642 --> 00:07:56,677
- I would expect from Katy
to turn up
156
00:07:56,710 --> 00:08:01,549
in some glamorous outfit, like,
looking amazing, and she just
157
00:08:01,582 --> 00:08:04,918
turned up in track
suit bottoms, hat, sunglasses,
158
00:08:04,952 --> 00:08:05,953
and she was like, let's go.
159
00:08:06,654 --> 00:08:08,589
- What you see is what you get.
160
00:08:08,622 --> 00:08:10,558
She's like a normal girl.
161
00:08:10,591 --> 00:08:13,927
- I'm not a very complex girl.
I just like certain things.
162
00:08:13,961 --> 00:08:20,100
And so I had them make an
LED fruit-glittered
microphone stand.
163
00:08:20,133 --> 00:08:23,070
LED lights basically
this lights up
164
00:08:23,103 --> 00:08:26,306
into different colors
of the rainbow when it's on,
165
00:08:26,339 --> 00:08:29,943
and it can pulsate and
it can flash different--
166
00:08:29,977 --> 00:08:34,782
different rhythms and different
colors to match the song
167
00:08:34,815 --> 00:08:36,817
if it's-- like a song called
"Hot and Cold,"
168
00:08:36,850 --> 00:08:39,987
it will go up and down,
and these fruit glitter.
169
00:08:40,020 --> 00:08:41,822
And it's kind of heavy.
170
00:08:41,855 --> 00:08:48,195
And then I have my microphone
crystallized with cherries.
171
00:08:49,697 --> 00:08:52,633
It's these little things
that keep me really happy
172
00:08:52,666 --> 00:08:56,169
to be on the road 365 days
out of the year.
173
00:08:56,203 --> 00:08:57,871
- I also have
danced for Pink.
174
00:08:57,905 --> 00:09:01,074
Comparing those two,
Katy was very, very much
175
00:09:01,108 --> 00:09:03,243
like a new girl to the scene,
176
00:09:03,276 --> 00:09:05,646
very shy, kind of
smiled to us,
177
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,149
whereas Pink was with us
on stage, right guys,
178
00:09:09,182 --> 00:09:11,118
like, directing us
literally.
179
00:09:11,151 --> 00:09:14,221
So the difference, you know,
was massive at the time.
180
00:09:14,254 --> 00:09:16,924
- So I have to tell you,
I started--
181
00:09:16,957 --> 00:09:20,127
everybody always asks, is there
something you do before a show.
182
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,229
And I never used to have
a ritual per se,
183
00:09:22,262 --> 00:09:25,265
besides warming up
and stretching, but then
184
00:09:25,298 --> 00:09:28,736
after singing every other
day for, like, five days for
185
00:09:28,769 --> 00:09:32,139
a whole year and a half--
five days a week,
186
00:09:32,172 --> 00:09:34,174
my voice started getting
a little bit tired,
187
00:09:34,207 --> 00:09:38,679
and I needed to come up
with more of a ritual.
188
00:09:38,712 --> 00:09:44,618
And my very close friend
and manager said,
189
00:09:44,652 --> 00:09:49,389
when Roy Orbison was alive,
he used to drink a Coca-Cola
190
00:09:49,422 --> 00:09:52,893
and have a Tylenol
an hour before his show,
191
00:09:52,926 --> 00:09:55,295
and he put on a performance
like no other,
192
00:09:55,328 --> 00:09:56,329
every single night.
193
00:09:57,597 --> 00:10:02,135
And K.D. Lang does it as well,
and I guess I started doing it.
194
00:10:02,169 --> 00:10:08,676
So every night,
an hour before my show,
195
00:10:08,709 --> 00:10:12,112
I have some Coca-Cola
and a Tylenol.
196
00:10:12,145 --> 00:10:15,115
And I don't know if
it's good or bad, but I think
197
00:10:15,148 --> 00:10:18,686
it just messes with my mind
to let me know
198
00:10:18,719 --> 00:10:20,053
we're gonna have a great show.
199
00:10:20,087 --> 00:10:21,655
It's probably not
the greatest idea
200
00:10:21,689 --> 00:10:24,224
because caffeine isn't
usually good for singers.
201
00:10:24,257 --> 00:10:27,928
I'm having-- I'm probably
freaking out so many vocalists
202
00:10:27,961 --> 00:10:29,262
that are watching
this right now.
203
00:10:29,296 --> 00:10:32,299
They're like,
that is a horrible idea.
204
00:10:32,332 --> 00:10:36,269
Well, Roy Orbison did it,
and he's a classic.
205
00:10:40,774 --> 00:10:41,875
Come on!
206
00:10:41,909 --> 00:10:46,814
- She seemed very young
and quite vulnerable, and yeah,
207
00:10:46,847 --> 00:10:50,317
she seemed tired,
but that's to be expected.
208
00:10:50,350 --> 00:10:53,053
You know, the weight of
the world is on her shoulders.
209
00:10:53,086 --> 00:10:55,455
She is literally carrying
all of these people
210
00:10:55,488 --> 00:10:58,859
in this huge sort
of monolithic career
211
00:10:58,892 --> 00:10:59,893
she's built for herself.
212
00:11:01,094 --> 00:11:03,396
- My mother never
let me drink Coca-Cola.
213
00:11:03,430 --> 00:11:06,033
That's really
why I think I do it.
214
00:11:06,066 --> 00:11:08,902
- The amount of pressure
those thousands of people
215
00:11:08,936 --> 00:11:11,939
that are out there every
night waiting to see her.
216
00:11:13,306 --> 00:11:15,776
- The pressure on Katy
would be absolutely enormous
217
00:11:15,809 --> 00:11:17,444
to keep going
the way she does.
218
00:11:17,477 --> 00:11:19,246
But you have to remember,
someone who makes it
219
00:11:19,279 --> 00:11:24,985
to the top in the world that
she has, is incredibly focused.
220
00:11:25,018 --> 00:11:26,754
- Trapped in an elevator.
221
00:11:26,787 --> 00:11:29,757
- They are determined,
they are goal-directed.
222
00:11:29,790 --> 00:11:33,493
Those are psychological traits
that set them up to get there.
223
00:11:33,526 --> 00:11:36,029
As long as she has a
good support group around her,
224
00:11:36,063 --> 00:11:39,166
she will manage
the pressure around her.
225
00:11:39,199 --> 00:11:43,336
- She's very much in
her bubble and looked after.
226
00:11:43,370 --> 00:11:44,571
- We're here.
227
00:11:44,604 --> 00:11:47,908
- A lot of her friends from
back home are part of the crew.
228
00:11:47,941 --> 00:11:50,043
She wants to keep them
around her, which I thought
229
00:11:50,077 --> 00:11:52,145
was really charming and,
230
00:11:52,179 --> 00:11:54,181
you know, suggests she's
a really good person.
231
00:11:54,214 --> 00:11:57,484
- This is my band.
- Hi.
232
00:11:57,517 --> 00:12:02,422
- Hello,
random television camera.
233
00:12:02,455 --> 00:12:09,930
- We have one, only-Japanese
speaking person in the band.
234
00:12:09,963 --> 00:12:12,966
He doesn't speak English
235
00:12:14,101 --> 00:12:17,337
- I can't understand
a word you're saying.
236
00:12:17,370 --> 00:12:19,039
- We only make fun of him.
237
00:12:19,072 --> 00:12:20,473
- She was there for everyone,
238
00:12:20,507 --> 00:12:23,844
and she was just working
as a whole team.
239
00:12:23,877 --> 00:12:25,378
- I hate to keep on using
the word gracious,
240
00:12:25,412 --> 00:12:28,448
but it describes her behavior.
241
00:12:28,481 --> 00:12:32,319
- She's an amazing artist
and a performer, but she's real,
242
00:12:32,352 --> 00:12:34,988
and that's why I think people
just absolutely love her.
243
00:12:35,022 --> 00:12:38,225
- Should we tell the camera
who is here tonight?
244
00:12:38,258 --> 00:12:41,094
- Her publicist always says,
oh, Katy's so funny,
245
00:12:41,128 --> 00:12:44,297
like, she just doesn't
take herself too seriously.
246
00:12:44,331 --> 00:12:47,200
Just you can have
a laugh with her.
247
00:12:47,901 --> 00:12:48,902
- Okay.
So my --
248
00:12:48,936 --> 00:12:50,470
- There's a rumor
Prince Harry--
249
00:12:50,503 --> 00:12:53,807
- Prince Harry is here.
- Not William.
250
00:12:53,841 --> 00:12:56,276
- I love a hot gin.
251
00:12:56,309 --> 00:12:58,345
No, I don't.
Um, really --
252
00:12:58,378 --> 00:13:00,513
- Just kidding.
- Just kidding.
253
00:13:00,547 --> 00:13:01,982
My sister is a ginger.
254
00:13:02,015 --> 00:13:03,917
I've had enough of that
in my life already.
255
00:13:03,951 --> 00:13:06,553
- She's really sort
of charismatic and really fun
256
00:13:06,586 --> 00:13:09,456
and bubbly, just a barrel
of laughs to go out with.
257
00:13:09,489 --> 00:13:11,091
- I think she's fabulous.
258
00:13:11,124 --> 00:13:13,293
You know, she's a wonderful
role model.
259
00:13:13,326 --> 00:13:16,329
She gets out there,
she does her own thing.
260
00:13:17,597 --> 00:13:18,431
- I'm very independent.
261
00:13:18,465 --> 00:13:22,169
I can take care of
myself, and yeah,
262
00:13:22,202 --> 00:13:27,040
I want to cuddle sometimes, and
yeah, I get hungry sometimes.
263
00:13:27,074 --> 00:13:30,210
And I'm nice generally, but
I want to do my own thing.
264
00:13:30,243 --> 00:13:33,180
- She's not afraid to be normal.
265
00:13:33,213 --> 00:13:35,448
- That's definitely part
of her personality
266
00:13:35,482 --> 00:13:38,051
and something that
she's always trying to project
267
00:13:38,085 --> 00:13:42,489
that she's approachable and,
you know, down to earth.
268
00:13:42,522 --> 00:13:46,326
- Come on, show us the--
this is the prom king.
269
00:13:46,359 --> 00:13:49,096
This is the prom queen.
270
00:13:49,129 --> 00:13:51,431
I always want to
really relatable, like,
271
00:13:51,464 --> 00:13:54,234
when I reach out there, I want
them to be able to reach back.
272
00:13:54,267 --> 00:13:57,237
Every night I go into
the crowd, and I get, like,
273
00:13:57,270 --> 00:14:00,540
into the crowd and,
you know, after I come back,
274
00:14:00,573 --> 00:14:03,443
everyone's like, you're crazy,
you got to stop doing that.
275
00:14:03,476 --> 00:14:06,613
And I'm like, why?
They don't expect it.
276
00:14:06,646 --> 00:14:09,016
That's that one extra
thing that they don't expect
277
00:14:09,049 --> 00:14:11,118
that's kind of like, wow,
she's normal,
278
00:14:11,151 --> 00:14:13,186
or she's like a real person.
279
00:14:13,220 --> 00:14:16,089
I hate the idea that
I'm any different than them
280
00:14:16,123 --> 00:14:18,225
or that they couldn't do this.
281
00:14:18,258 --> 00:14:21,428
I hate when musicians
think they're better
282
00:14:21,461 --> 00:14:25,165
than other people, or they
stop relating or connecting.
283
00:14:25,198 --> 00:14:27,267
I think it's all about
the connection,
284
00:14:27,300 --> 00:14:30,637
and I always want to connect
with my audience.
285
00:14:30,670 --> 00:14:34,507
I want them to know that
we're kind of on the same team.
286
00:14:34,541 --> 00:14:36,343
We are on the same team.
287
00:14:36,376 --> 00:14:39,012
( cheering )
288
00:14:39,046 --> 00:14:41,148
- Thank you so much.
289
00:14:48,555 --> 00:14:50,390
- Since the inception
of her career,
290
00:14:50,423 --> 00:14:53,393
Katy Perry has become
a global brand.
291
00:14:53,426 --> 00:14:55,562
In the midst of promoting
her music,
292
00:14:55,595 --> 00:14:58,165
the perpetually busy star
has been building
293
00:14:58,198 --> 00:15:01,334
a multimillion dollar
product empire.
294
00:15:01,368 --> 00:15:04,437
With an impressive array
of commercial achievements
295
00:15:04,471 --> 00:15:08,041
ranging from album sales
and merchandise to touring
296
00:15:08,075 --> 00:15:11,344
and endorsements,
in every category,
297
00:15:11,378 --> 00:15:14,714
Katy is at the forefront.
298
00:15:14,747 --> 00:15:19,686
- I'm really happy
to present Purr here in London
299
00:15:19,719 --> 00:15:24,557
first and foremost,
next week in New York City,
300
00:15:24,591 --> 00:15:25,558
it will be fantastic.
301
00:15:25,592 --> 00:15:28,295
- Does it represent Katy?
- I think it does.
302
00:15:28,328 --> 00:15:30,397
- Yeah. Yeah.
- It's very, very sexy, so --
303
00:15:30,430 --> 00:15:31,631
- Yeah.
- I want to go and buy it.
304
00:15:31,664 --> 00:15:33,733
- We just think she's amazing.
305
00:15:33,766 --> 00:15:36,203
- Katy is
the ultimate businesswoman,
306
00:15:36,236 --> 00:15:39,639
has endorsed lots and
lots of products.
307
00:15:39,672 --> 00:15:41,408
She's a true businesswoman.
308
00:15:41,441 --> 00:15:43,276
- She has three fragrances.
309
00:15:43,310 --> 00:15:46,013
- Killer Queen,
Purr, and Meow.
310
00:15:46,046 --> 00:15:49,182
- She has, like,
her pop chips endorsement,
311
00:15:49,216 --> 00:15:51,118
and her GHD endorsement.
312
00:15:51,151 --> 00:15:53,386
- She has had a range
of nails, and a range
313
00:15:53,420 --> 00:15:55,122
of nail varnish from OPI.
314
00:15:55,155 --> 00:15:58,258
- She also has her own
range of fake eyelashes.
315
00:15:58,291 --> 00:16:01,661
- Her statement look
is her false eyelashes.
316
00:16:01,694 --> 00:16:05,565
- She's the face of
the cosmetics brand Cover Girl,
317
00:16:06,099 --> 00:16:10,603
and she's also had a role in
the console game, Sims 3.
318
00:16:10,637 --> 00:16:15,708
- This is a woman who is
very astute and very clever.
319
00:16:15,742 --> 00:16:19,679
She was the first person
to wear tiger print nails
320
00:16:19,712 --> 00:16:20,813
or put Smurfs on her nails.
321
00:16:20,847 --> 00:16:24,551
And in fact, when she
wore some yellow nail varnish
322
00:16:24,584 --> 00:16:27,754
to the MTV awards,
it sold out afterwards.
323
00:16:27,787 --> 00:16:29,722
- It's important to kind of
have a brand
324
00:16:29,756 --> 00:16:32,092
and create your own, you know,
325
00:16:32,125 --> 00:16:34,261
excitement,
but Katy does that,
326
00:16:34,294 --> 00:16:36,296
but the music is always first.
327
00:16:38,331 --> 00:16:41,301
- Hearts on my butt.
328
00:16:41,334 --> 00:16:44,371
We look smashing, don't we?
Okay, not really.
329
00:16:44,404 --> 00:16:48,308
I'm not a one-hit wonder.
I'm not a two-hit wonder.
330
00:16:48,341 --> 00:16:50,443
Hopefully not
a three-hit wonder.
331
00:16:50,477 --> 00:16:51,778
I'm just happy.
332
00:16:51,811 --> 00:16:53,613
I'm happy that
it's happened
333
00:16:53,646 --> 00:16:57,250
and it's happened to go
for so long.
334
00:17:03,623 --> 00:17:05,825
- Before she roared onto
the pop scene
335
00:17:05,858 --> 00:17:09,429
as the incarnation of
a global megabrand,
336
00:17:09,462 --> 00:17:12,799
Katy Perry's formative
years were less starry.
337
00:17:16,203 --> 00:17:19,406
In the 1960s, Katy's father,
Keith Hudson
338
00:17:19,439 --> 00:17:22,675
lived a hedonistic,
party lifestyle.
339
00:17:22,709 --> 00:17:26,113
He was part of the
Strawberry Fields Forever group,
340
00:17:26,146 --> 00:17:28,815
a hippy movement
which dealt in LSD
341
00:17:28,848 --> 00:17:31,851
and campaigned for
controversial drug advocate,
342
00:17:31,884 --> 00:17:35,088
Timothy Leary, to be elected
as governor.
343
00:17:36,623 --> 00:17:39,492
- Keith and Mary Hudson,
they both actually
344
00:17:39,526 --> 00:17:42,095
had kind of wild child pasts.
345
00:17:42,129 --> 00:17:44,097
A typical hippie Keith was.
346
00:17:44,131 --> 00:17:46,866
He's known to have
taken LSD in the past.
347
00:17:46,899 --> 00:17:50,303
And one day, I'm not sure
if he'd been taking LSD
348
00:17:50,337 --> 00:17:53,306
or not that day, but he was
in an apple orchard
349
00:17:53,340 --> 00:17:56,443
when he suddenly had
these amazing visions
350
00:17:56,476 --> 00:17:59,512
of Bible verses in the sky,
351
00:17:59,546 --> 00:18:02,549
and he knew that his calling
was to become a preacher.
352
00:18:03,750 --> 00:18:07,820
- Katy's mother, Mary Perry,
was an equally free spirit.
353
00:18:07,854 --> 00:18:11,158
A flamboyant wild child
who traveled the world,
354
00:18:11,191 --> 00:18:14,527
and dated legendary
guitarist, Jimi Hendrix.
355
00:18:16,529 --> 00:18:20,167
- Mary, she was a bit of wild
child in her past as well.
356
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,603
She used to hang out with
Jimi Hendrix at one time.
357
00:18:23,636 --> 00:18:25,405
And then she had gone
off to Zimbabwe.
358
00:18:25,438 --> 00:18:28,408
She married a one-legged
race car driver,
359
00:18:28,441 --> 00:18:29,376
but that didn't work out.
360
00:18:29,409 --> 00:18:31,778
She came back and she became
a news reporter,
361
00:18:31,811 --> 00:18:34,314
and it was while covering
a church event
362
00:18:34,347 --> 00:18:35,882
that she ran into Keith.
363
00:18:35,915 --> 00:18:39,118
She fell for him, and she
fell for God on the same day.
364
00:18:40,453 --> 00:18:43,490
- The couple gave up life
in the fast lane.
365
00:18:43,523 --> 00:18:45,892
They found God,
and Katy's destiny
366
00:18:45,925 --> 00:18:49,196
as a preacher's
child was set.
367
00:18:53,933 --> 00:18:57,237
The contrast between
Katy's past and present
368
00:18:57,270 --> 00:18:59,372
couldn't be more stark.
369
00:18:59,406 --> 00:19:02,575
Born in 1984 in the sleepy
coastal village of
370
00:19:02,609 --> 00:19:06,313
Goleta, California,
Katy grew up in a happy,
371
00:19:06,346 --> 00:19:08,348
but sheltered, household,
372
00:19:08,381 --> 00:19:11,251
utterly protected from
the outside world.
373
00:19:11,284 --> 00:19:12,652
- I love Easter.
374
00:19:12,685 --> 00:19:16,189
If Easter could be
every single holiday,
375
00:19:16,223 --> 00:19:17,123
that would be
perfect for me.
376
00:19:17,156 --> 00:19:19,659
Because I remember
loving Easter so much,
377
00:19:19,692 --> 00:19:22,962
dressing up in those
big dresses and the hats
378
00:19:22,995 --> 00:19:25,932
and going to church,
and I'm like, yes
379
00:19:25,965 --> 00:19:28,635
I look like an Easter egg.
I'm so happy right now.
380
00:19:28,668 --> 00:19:31,938
I'm only ten years old.
I don't know.
381
00:19:31,971 --> 00:19:36,509
I'm attracted to colors and
things that make people smile.
382
00:19:37,744 --> 00:19:42,549
- Katy was born in 1984 in a
very quiet part of California.
383
00:19:42,582 --> 00:19:48,588
- She comes from a really sweet
family, the all-American family.
384
00:19:49,989 --> 00:19:55,562
- Katy has two siblings, a
brother David and sister Angela.
385
00:19:55,595 --> 00:19:58,231
- She's very close with her
brother and sister.
386
00:19:58,265 --> 00:19:59,566
- Her sister was
on the tour with us,
387
00:19:59,599 --> 00:20:01,534
and she seemed
to interact with her a lot
388
00:20:01,568 --> 00:20:03,570
and delegate stuff to her.
389
00:20:03,603 --> 00:20:06,606
They're quite close
and they work together.
390
00:20:08,308 --> 00:20:10,443
- When I tour,
I take my sister with me.
391
00:20:10,477 --> 00:20:11,978
She's essential.
392
00:20:12,011 --> 00:20:14,514
She doesn't care how
many records I've sold
393
00:20:14,547 --> 00:20:17,984
or what I'm doing or
who I'm playing for or,
394
00:20:18,017 --> 00:20:20,420
you know, yadda yadda yadda.
She puts me in my place.
395
00:20:20,453 --> 00:20:22,989
She loves putting me
in my place actually.
396
00:20:23,022 --> 00:20:26,693
And I-- I fearfully
respect her.
397
00:20:26,726 --> 00:20:29,362
Because of that I have this,
like, fear, you know those--
398
00:20:29,396 --> 00:20:30,763
that fear you have
of your parents
399
00:20:30,797 --> 00:20:32,765
when you're little
of like, okay, yes.
400
00:20:32,799 --> 00:20:34,734
It's kind of the same fear
I have of my sister.
401
00:20:34,767 --> 00:20:37,904
We love each other,
from a distance.
402
00:20:37,937 --> 00:20:39,372
I'm just kidding.
It's like Bodyguard.
403
00:20:39,406 --> 00:20:42,241
No, it's not.
Hopefully, God, it's not.
404
00:20:45,745 --> 00:20:47,680
- Christianity played
a huge part
405
00:20:47,714 --> 00:20:49,749
in Katy Hudson's upbringing.
406
00:20:49,782 --> 00:20:52,018
Her devout
Pentecostal parents
407
00:20:52,051 --> 00:20:54,754
had strict beliefs
and practices.
408
00:20:55,755 --> 00:20:58,325
- She had a very
unusual childhood
409
00:20:58,358 --> 00:21:02,028
and was sort of cocooned
from normal society.
410
00:21:02,061 --> 00:21:03,930
- Both of her parents
are pastors.
411
00:21:03,963 --> 00:21:05,365
They're very religious.
412
00:21:05,398 --> 00:21:07,400
- They were extremely
strict parents,
413
00:21:07,434 --> 00:21:11,003
but it was more the value
and the very strict
414
00:21:11,037 --> 00:21:14,006
conditions that her
parents put on the children
415
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,509
that affected her somewhat.
416
00:21:16,543 --> 00:21:19,346
- Coming from her
family religious background
417
00:21:19,379 --> 00:21:22,749
and stuff, it must have been
extra hard to make it.
418
00:21:22,782 --> 00:21:25,752
- The religious upbringing
that Katy had would have had
419
00:21:25,785 --> 00:21:28,054
a tremendous impact
on her personality.
420
00:21:28,087 --> 00:21:30,757
- Katy's come out publicly
and said quite a lot
421
00:21:30,790 --> 00:21:32,759
of negative things
about her childhood.
422
00:21:32,792 --> 00:21:35,828
She in fact once said she
didn't have a childhood.
423
00:21:39,499 --> 00:21:42,602
- Katy's parents became
traveling ministers.
424
00:21:42,635 --> 00:21:44,937
From the age of three,
her childhood was
425
00:21:44,971 --> 00:21:47,740
spent traveling across
America as her parents
426
00:21:47,774 --> 00:21:49,842
founded new churches.
427
00:21:49,876 --> 00:21:53,413
With no fixed home, the family
lived in Oklahoma,
428
00:21:53,446 --> 00:21:55,982
Arizona, and Florida.
429
00:21:56,015 --> 00:21:59,552
Freelance ministry is not
a lucrative line of work.
430
00:21:59,586 --> 00:22:01,688
The family gave
their all to God
431
00:22:01,721 --> 00:22:04,023
and often
struggled financially.
432
00:22:04,056 --> 00:22:06,993
- Between the ages of 3 and 11,
she actually traveled a lot
433
00:22:07,026 --> 00:22:09,762
with the family because
they were traveling from town
434
00:22:09,796 --> 00:22:12,965
to town preaching
this fire and brimstone.
435
00:22:12,999 --> 00:22:16,469
You know, hell, Satan,
it was all very real to her.
436
00:22:16,503 --> 00:22:18,705
- You've got to remember
that those sort of
437
00:22:18,738 --> 00:22:21,608
quite serious religions like
the Pentecostal religion
438
00:22:21,641 --> 00:22:24,477
that her parents are a part of,
lay down a very strict path.
439
00:22:24,511 --> 00:22:26,679
You know, you have
to follow that path.
440
00:22:26,713 --> 00:22:29,048
Katy's not a
natural follower.
441
00:22:30,617 --> 00:22:31,984
- In the Hudson household,
442
00:22:32,018 --> 00:22:34,454
the devil was made out
to be a real person.
443
00:22:34,487 --> 00:22:36,923
Her mother, in fact,
banned the word "lucky"
444
00:22:36,956 --> 00:22:39,759
entirely from the
household because she said
445
00:22:39,792 --> 00:22:43,430
it had connotations of
Lucifer, the devil.
446
00:22:43,463 --> 00:22:45,398
- She did have to rebel
against her background
447
00:22:45,432 --> 00:22:47,099
and her upbringing,
so it probably took
448
00:22:47,133 --> 00:22:49,035
quite a lot of strength
for her to do it
449
00:22:49,068 --> 00:22:51,404
and that's what we really
admire about her.
450
00:22:51,438 --> 00:22:53,406
- It's surprising because
she certainly wears
451
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,107
some pretty full-on outfits.
452
00:22:55,141 --> 00:22:56,208
- She's cheeky.
453
00:22:56,242 --> 00:23:00,680
- Her past was a lot
more sort of good girl, really,
454
00:23:00,713 --> 00:23:03,583
whereas now I think she's got
a bit of a naughty side.
455
00:23:03,816 --> 00:23:05,952
- And there's
my cherry Chapstick.
456
00:23:13,860 --> 00:23:16,963
We have a couple versions
of this Cherry Chapstick,
457
00:23:16,996 --> 00:23:21,701
a larger one and then
the little sister one.
458
00:23:21,734 --> 00:23:25,572
And I bring this out every night
because for some reason
459
00:23:25,605 --> 00:23:29,175
even though "I Kissed a Girl"
has been playing for maybe
460
00:23:29,208 --> 00:23:32,011
a year and a few months now,
people still forget
461
00:23:32,044 --> 00:23:35,147
to bring their
Cherry Chapsticks to the show
462
00:23:35,181 --> 00:23:36,649
It's very perplexing.
463
00:23:36,683 --> 00:23:37,950
All these girls in
the front row forget
464
00:23:37,984 --> 00:23:40,820
to bring their cherry Chapstick,
so then they miss
465
00:23:40,853 --> 00:23:44,457
the opportunity to lock lips
with yours truly.
466
00:23:44,491 --> 00:23:46,959
So luckily for them,
I bring my own.
467
00:23:46,993 --> 00:23:48,828
I carry it thousands
of miles.
468
00:23:48,861 --> 00:23:52,131
It's been to Japan, it's been
to Moscow, it's been to London.
469
00:23:52,164 --> 00:23:54,834
Well, we're in London.
470
00:23:54,867 --> 00:23:56,969
It's been everywhere and
we have to get it cleaned
471
00:23:57,003 --> 00:23:59,105
every single night because
sometimes girls
472
00:23:59,138 --> 00:24:01,574
end up kissing it.
473
00:24:01,608 --> 00:24:04,911
And at the end of the night,
I kiss a girl.
474
00:24:04,944 --> 00:24:05,645
That's right.
475
00:24:05,678 --> 00:24:07,980
I've kissed over
a hundred girls.
476
00:24:16,789 --> 00:24:20,126
- By the time Katy was 11,
the Hudson family had settled
477
00:24:20,159 --> 00:24:22,495
in Santa Barbara, California,
478
00:24:22,529 --> 00:24:25,164
where she spent
her teenage years.
479
00:24:25,197 --> 00:24:27,266
Despite Katy's
strict upbringing,
480
00:24:27,299 --> 00:24:30,837
or perhaps because of it,
her quirky style began
481
00:24:30,870 --> 00:24:34,040
to shine through before
she reached her teens.
482
00:24:36,275 --> 00:24:40,079
- I remember when
I was in sixth grade.
483
00:24:40,112 --> 00:24:42,048
I've always been obsessed
with clothes,
484
00:24:42,081 --> 00:24:44,150
and as a little girl till now,
485
00:24:44,183 --> 00:24:46,986
the obsession has
gotten a lot worse.
486
00:24:47,019 --> 00:24:53,192
But I remember seeing
a fake vintage leopard coat
487
00:24:53,225 --> 00:24:55,895
in an antique store.
488
00:24:55,928 --> 00:24:59,031
I really wanted it, and
I think it was, like, $60,
489
00:24:59,065 --> 00:25:02,168
which was a lot
of money and, you know,
490
00:25:02,201 --> 00:25:05,638
I don't come from anything,
and that was a big present.
491
00:25:05,672 --> 00:25:07,740
But I remember I opened
it up on Christmas day
492
00:25:07,774 --> 00:25:10,643
and I got it and
I wore it in California,
493
00:25:10,677 --> 00:25:12,945
which is not winter weather,
you know,
494
00:25:12,979 --> 00:25:16,248
and it's this heavy,
like, leopard jacket.
495
00:25:16,282 --> 00:25:19,018
And I remember after that
break of Christmas break
496
00:25:19,051 --> 00:25:21,988
and then going back to school,
everybody wears
497
00:25:22,021 --> 00:25:24,657
their new outfits and
they're so excited.
498
00:25:24,691 --> 00:25:26,726
Everything is, like,
squeaky and glossy,
499
00:25:26,759 --> 00:25:31,197
and everybody looks like
a walking model, you know,
500
00:25:31,230 --> 00:25:35,234
and I wore my leopard coat,
and I got so made fun of.
501
00:25:35,267 --> 00:25:39,305
All the kids hated it, but
I knew I was doing something
502
00:25:39,338 --> 00:25:43,175
really good because all
the moms that were picking up
503
00:25:43,209 --> 00:25:47,313
the kids were, like,
sweetheart, where did you
happen to get that coat?
504
00:25:47,346 --> 00:25:48,180
It's fabulous.
505
00:25:48,214 --> 00:25:50,316
And it was like,
you just wait and see.
506
00:25:50,349 --> 00:25:54,020
You may only be 12,
but your 30-year old mom
507
00:25:54,053 --> 00:25:56,723
loves it, and she might
know something.
508
00:25:56,756 --> 00:26:01,060
She reads Vogue,
you read Teen People.
509
00:26:03,162 --> 00:26:06,699
- Katy actually confessed
to Cosmo about how she wasn't
510
00:26:06,733 --> 00:26:09,268
actually even allowed
to read Cosmo when she was
511
00:26:09,301 --> 00:26:12,972
a teenage girl because
it had too much sex in there,
512
00:26:13,005 --> 00:26:14,340
which is quite funny now
513
00:26:14,373 --> 00:26:16,575
because she's been on
the cover so many times
514
00:26:18,077 --> 00:26:21,280
She told us it was because
her parents didn't approve
515
00:26:21,313 --> 00:26:24,216
of the sex content
and didn't like the fact
516
00:26:24,250 --> 00:26:25,885
that there was a girl
on the front cover
517
00:26:25,918 --> 00:26:28,054
with a bit of cleavage showing.
518
00:26:28,087 --> 00:26:31,023
And now she is indeed one
of those girls with her cleavage
519
00:26:31,057 --> 00:26:32,792
out on Cosmo and she loves it.
520
00:26:32,825 --> 00:26:34,260
She feels empowered by it.
521
00:26:34,293 --> 00:26:36,629
When I think about
who I want to go on the cover,
522
00:26:36,663 --> 00:26:39,131
I always think about Katy,
and it's crazy
523
00:26:39,165 --> 00:26:42,368
that as a teenager she
wasn't allowed to read it.
524
00:26:42,401 --> 00:26:44,971
But it's come
full circle now
525
00:26:45,004 --> 00:26:47,339
and she's very pleased
with that transformation.
526
00:26:55,114 --> 00:26:56,082
- Have you ever kissed a girl?
527
00:26:56,115 --> 00:26:59,051
- I haven't. I'm saving myself
for Miley Cyrus.
528
00:27:02,889 --> 00:27:06,158
- She's a wonderful role model.
She gets out there.
529
00:27:06,192 --> 00:27:07,927
She does her own thing.
530
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,930
She actually made people
feel fine with her saying
531
00:27:10,963 --> 00:27:12,364
that as a preacher's daughter
you've been saying that,
532
00:27:12,398 --> 00:27:14,400
you know, I kissed a girl
and I liked it.
533
00:27:15,201 --> 00:27:18,237
- It seems as though that was
an attention-grabbing thing
534
00:27:18,270 --> 00:27:20,239
to talk about,
sort of very provocative,
535
00:27:20,272 --> 00:27:24,110
but absolutely not when
you meet her and you can see
536
00:27:24,143 --> 00:27:25,377
that this is absolutely her.
537
00:27:25,411 --> 00:27:26,578
She's quirky.
538
00:27:26,612 --> 00:27:29,015
- Actually, it's kind of one
of those things where, like,
539
00:27:29,048 --> 00:27:31,383
you open up a magazine
540
00:27:31,417 --> 00:27:33,252
and you look to your
significant other
541
00:27:33,285 --> 00:27:37,323
and you're like, I'm not gonna
lie, if Scarlett Johansson
542
00:27:37,356 --> 00:27:39,759
walked into the room
and she wanted to kiss me,
543
00:27:39,792 --> 00:27:42,461
might let her.
I hope you're okay with that.
544
00:27:42,494 --> 00:27:45,431
It's one of those, like,
that's my one.
545
00:27:45,464 --> 00:27:49,201
And it talks about, like,
just like the magical beauty
546
00:27:49,235 --> 00:27:51,838
of a woman and how,
like, special that is,
547
00:27:51,871 --> 00:27:55,808
and how we can pretty
much do anything.
548
00:27:55,842 --> 00:27:57,176
We are the dominant species.
549
00:27:58,477 --> 00:28:00,112
- Katy's parents
weren't accepting,
550
00:28:00,146 --> 00:28:01,848
especially after she came
out with songs like,
551
00:28:01,881 --> 00:28:05,484
"I Kissed a Girl," which
the Hudsons actually publicly
552
00:28:05,517 --> 00:28:07,920
decried as shameful
and disgusting.
553
00:28:07,954 --> 00:28:09,889
- It was so daring for her
to do that and to make
554
00:28:09,922 --> 00:28:12,925
other people feel good
about experimenting,
555
00:28:12,959 --> 00:28:15,762
and I think that's a very
healthy role model to have.
556
00:28:15,795 --> 00:28:17,463
- At the time, it was
really unheard of, you know,
557
00:28:17,496 --> 00:28:20,366
this really sexy girl singing
about kissing girls.
558
00:28:20,399 --> 00:28:22,068
And I thought,
oh, my God, that's so cool
559
00:28:22,101 --> 00:28:24,871
- You think that maybe
the relationship between
560
00:28:24,904 --> 00:28:27,940
Katy and her parents now
would be a little strained,
561
00:28:27,974 --> 00:28:29,475
but they actually
all get on very well,
562
00:28:29,508 --> 00:28:32,711
and her parents support her
in what she does.
563
00:28:33,512 --> 00:28:35,848
- I think the "I Kissed
a Girl"s were never like,
564
00:28:35,882 --> 00:28:40,452
ooh, let's see how I can stir up
the pot of scandalous, you know?
565
00:28:40,486 --> 00:28:43,790
It was actually
just me telling my story
566
00:28:43,823 --> 00:28:47,293
and that is how I see
the world, you know?
567
00:28:47,326 --> 00:28:50,997
And that's kind of like
the funny, messed up way
568
00:28:51,030 --> 00:28:55,501
I live my life, I guess, with
a dark kind of undertone--
569
00:28:55,534 --> 00:28:58,404
sarcastic, dark undertone.
570
00:29:01,908 --> 00:29:05,177
Humor is so important
in my life.
571
00:29:05,211 --> 00:29:08,514
Laughing is just, like,
it feels so good,
572
00:29:08,547 --> 00:29:11,050
and it's a main ingredient
for, you know,
573
00:29:11,083 --> 00:29:13,319
everything I do because
it can be really stressful,
574
00:29:13,352 --> 00:29:18,357
and there can be a lot
of responsibilities.
575
00:29:18,390 --> 00:29:22,494
And sometimes you just
gotta let it roll off your back
576
00:29:22,528 --> 00:29:24,496
and have a laugh about it,
or turn it into
577
00:29:24,530 --> 00:29:27,834
that kind of thing, like, oh,
what can you do, you know?
578
00:29:27,867 --> 00:29:31,437
If I start to edit myself
and the things I'm saying,
579
00:29:31,470 --> 00:29:33,405
then I don't think
the people that first
580
00:29:33,439 --> 00:29:35,808
bought my record will
really know that
581
00:29:35,842 --> 00:29:37,543
it's coming from an
honest place, you know?
582
00:29:37,576 --> 00:29:42,248
I'm not trying to edit
myself for other people
583
00:29:42,281 --> 00:29:44,183
and write a record
that other people want.
584
00:29:44,216 --> 00:29:46,218
I'm writing a record
that I want.
585
00:29:49,889 --> 00:29:53,325
- Katy Perry may have rebelled
against a Christian past,
586
00:29:53,359 --> 00:29:56,262
but her upbringing
is undoubtedly responsible
587
00:29:56,295 --> 00:30:00,066
in some part for
her overwhelming appeal.
588
00:30:00,099 --> 00:30:03,202
Gospel music propelled
Katy into the music world,
589
00:30:03,235 --> 00:30:06,038
and still remains at her core.
590
00:30:09,375 --> 00:30:11,243
- Katy is still
religious to this day.
591
00:30:11,277 --> 00:30:14,013
She has publicly said
that she believes in God.
592
00:30:14,046 --> 00:30:17,449
- She has a tattoo that
says Jesus on one wrist.
593
00:30:17,483 --> 00:30:20,086
- She got the tattoo
at the age of 18
594
00:30:20,119 --> 00:30:22,621
to remind her where
she comes from.
595
00:30:22,654 --> 00:30:25,091
- She hasn't had it removed,
so you have to assume
596
00:30:25,124 --> 00:30:27,960
that there is a level
of faith there.
597
00:30:27,994 --> 00:30:30,596
- She does have these
real traditional values,
598
00:30:30,629 --> 00:30:34,600
but her career has been anything
but traditional, you know?
599
00:30:34,633 --> 00:30:36,835
She's been quite outlandish.
600
00:30:38,170 --> 00:30:39,939
- Although the
Pentecostal religion
601
00:30:39,972 --> 00:30:42,608
would have been imprinted
on her, sort of whole psyche,
602
00:30:42,641 --> 00:30:44,576
she's found her own way to
go through life,
603
00:30:44,610 --> 00:30:47,479
and she seems to straddle
both her religious background
604
00:30:47,513 --> 00:30:49,581
and being in
the pop world, which,
605
00:30:49,615 --> 00:30:51,350
let's face it,
the music industry
606
00:30:51,383 --> 00:30:53,119
can be quite a dirty world.
607
00:30:53,152 --> 00:30:56,188
- She's been quite provocative
and sexy at times,
608
00:30:56,222 --> 00:31:00,326
and that's what
we love about her.
609
00:31:00,359 --> 00:31:02,995
- She's just so real,
and she's just--
610
00:31:03,029 --> 00:31:06,432
she's just like this
normal girl that's happened
611
00:31:06,465 --> 00:31:09,535
to follow her passion,
never give up.
612
00:31:09,568 --> 00:31:11,904
You can really, really see
that in her career path.
613
00:31:11,938 --> 00:31:15,374
- In one sense her religious
upbringing would have given her
614
00:31:15,407 --> 00:31:17,944
a kind of inner strength,
but in another sense,
615
00:31:17,977 --> 00:31:19,946
she would have also felt
quite naturally, well,
616
00:31:19,979 --> 00:31:21,247
I'm going to follow
my own path,
617
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,649
because she's a
very strong personality.
618
00:31:26,052 --> 00:31:28,354
- When you do end up
in the spotlight,
619
00:31:28,387 --> 00:31:31,257
there's still all those things
going on in relationships,
620
00:31:31,290 --> 00:31:33,960
in friendships, in your family,
and you definitely
621
00:31:33,993 --> 00:31:36,628
don't air them out as much,
or I never really did
622
00:31:36,662 --> 00:31:38,497
in the first place much.
623
00:31:38,530 --> 00:31:43,002
But that's where kind of like
my songwriting comes from,
624
00:31:43,035 --> 00:31:46,472
is my own therapeutic moments
I need to have with myself
625
00:31:46,505 --> 00:31:50,409
to get over a situation, or
get over a problem I'm having,
626
00:31:50,442 --> 00:31:53,045
or deal with something
I'm going through.
627
00:31:53,079 --> 00:31:54,680
I usually write
a song about it.
628
00:31:54,713 --> 00:31:57,216
And I've been through a lot.
629
00:32:04,323 --> 00:32:08,027
- The natural music ability
which would make Katy a star
630
00:32:08,060 --> 00:32:11,130
was apparent by the age of
13 when she began
631
00:32:11,163 --> 00:32:14,166
to play the guitar
and write her own songs.
632
00:32:15,334 --> 00:32:18,070
- The first times I started
singing was in church.
633
00:32:18,104 --> 00:32:20,372
But then when I
started playing guitar,
634
00:32:20,406 --> 00:32:24,176
I would go into the newspaper
and I would find, you know,
635
00:32:24,210 --> 00:32:28,647
karaoke-- not karaoke,
open mic sessions
636
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:33,152
and coffee shops that would
let anybody sign up to play,
637
00:32:33,185 --> 00:32:35,554
although I was pretty
good at karaoke.
638
00:32:35,587 --> 00:32:38,557
And I would go there and I would
just pull out my guitar
639
00:32:38,590 --> 00:32:40,459
and play these little rough
drafts of songs
640
00:32:40,492 --> 00:32:45,064
and get people's feedback and
really see if it was connecting,
641
00:32:45,097 --> 00:32:46,498
if people really related to it,
642
00:32:46,532 --> 00:32:49,401
or if they would even listen,
you know?
643
00:32:49,768 --> 00:32:52,404
- Katy Hudson, as
she was known then,
644
00:32:52,438 --> 00:32:55,474
has always been very,
very interested in music.
645
00:32:55,507 --> 00:32:58,744
Her family called her
Katybird or the songbird
646
00:32:58,777 --> 00:33:01,147
because she was just
always warbling away.
647
00:33:01,180 --> 00:33:03,782
And it was about at the age
of nine that her mother
648
00:33:03,815 --> 00:33:06,018
suggested she start
to get singing lessons,
649
00:33:06,052 --> 00:33:08,087
and they quickly
noticed her talent.
650
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:09,755
- She was in a gospel choir,
651
00:33:09,788 --> 00:33:11,623
and she is an accomplished
guitarist.
652
00:33:11,657 --> 00:33:15,727
- Katy asked for
her first guitar at age 13,
653
00:33:15,761 --> 00:33:17,663
which she received
for her birthday,
654
00:33:17,696 --> 00:33:20,699
and she started writing songs
pretty much straightaway.
655
00:33:20,732 --> 00:33:23,535
A lot of them were about
God and gospel songs,
656
00:33:23,569 --> 00:33:26,372
but she did privately,
behind her parents' back,
657
00:33:26,405 --> 00:33:29,408
also start writing
little tunes about boys
658
00:33:29,441 --> 00:33:31,777
and normal teenage stuff.
659
00:33:32,811 --> 00:33:36,215
- It would be a sad day for me
if I sang songs that I felt like
660
00:33:36,248 --> 00:33:41,320
any other pop artist could just
put their vocals on or sing.
661
00:33:41,353 --> 00:33:42,721
I'm happy to be pop.
662
00:33:42,754 --> 00:33:46,158
I'm happy that the music
is very mainstream,
663
00:33:46,192 --> 00:33:51,497
but I also need it
to be storytelling.
664
00:33:53,499 --> 00:33:56,335
- With a talent for
translating personal pain
665
00:33:56,368 --> 00:34:00,372
into professional triumph,
Katy unifies her audience who
666
00:34:00,406 --> 00:34:04,243
relate to her autobiographical
lyrics on a personal level.
667
00:34:05,444 --> 00:34:07,279
- She's very, very
good on stage.
668
00:34:07,313 --> 00:34:11,083
She's worth seeing because,
like, it's-- like, I don't like
669
00:34:11,117 --> 00:34:12,684
when you go see a show and,
670
00:34:12,718 --> 00:34:14,786
like, the artist doesn't
really connect with the crowd.
671
00:34:14,820 --> 00:34:16,488
But she's always got
a story to tell,
672
00:34:16,522 --> 00:34:19,358
and she's always quite funny
even though at every show
673
00:34:19,391 --> 00:34:21,093
she says she's not
a very good public speaker,
674
00:34:21,127 --> 00:34:22,128
it doesn't stop her.
675
00:34:24,396 --> 00:34:26,398
- Lyrics are so
important to me.
676
00:34:26,432 --> 00:34:28,300
I mean, how many times
do you turn on the radio
677
00:34:28,334 --> 00:34:30,502
and hear and song and
you're like, what in the--
678
00:34:30,536 --> 00:34:31,837
what are they saying?
679
00:34:31,870 --> 00:34:33,672
What-- what is it
that they're saying?
680
00:34:33,705 --> 00:34:36,108
I know they're talking
about the club and the beat
681
00:34:36,142 --> 00:34:38,210
and the DJ and the dance,
682
00:34:38,244 --> 00:34:41,813
but does it mean anything
at the end of the day, so--
683
00:34:47,486 --> 00:34:51,257
- Katy Perry is not your
average manufactured act.
684
00:34:51,290 --> 00:34:53,725
A lot of people think she
has nothing to do
685
00:34:53,759 --> 00:34:55,394
with her own songwriting,
686
00:34:55,427 --> 00:34:58,697
but actually in fact
she is very involved.
687
00:34:58,730 --> 00:35:01,433
She does work with
other producers, of course,
688
00:35:01,467 --> 00:35:04,136
however, all her lyrics
come from, you know,
689
00:35:04,170 --> 00:35:08,174
real life experiences and
are very personal to her.
690
00:35:09,275 --> 00:35:12,911
- Max Martin is a very big
songwriter from Sweden.
691
00:35:12,944 --> 00:35:16,682
He helps me with melodies and
then I-- and then I'll slap
692
00:35:16,715 --> 00:35:20,886
all of my lyrics on top of it,
and for some reason,
693
00:35:20,919 --> 00:35:24,523
a kid that's four years old
can sing it to a person
694
00:35:24,556 --> 00:35:27,426
that's 85,
my grandmother even.
695
00:35:29,361 --> 00:35:31,597
- The queen of modern pop
is no stranger
696
00:35:31,630 --> 00:35:35,234
to a suggestive song lyric,
but raw emotions are
697
00:35:35,267 --> 00:35:38,270
the driving force behind
the Perry phenomenon.
698
00:35:39,605 --> 00:35:42,374
- To my personal life and
in interviews and
699
00:35:42,408 --> 00:35:45,177
when I sit down to talk
about things,
700
00:35:45,211 --> 00:35:49,481
sometimes I don't give as
much detail as I used to,
701
00:35:49,515 --> 00:35:53,685
but I think I am saving it
for the songs,
702
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,722
and the songs I'm just
gushing, you know?
703
00:35:58,290 --> 00:36:01,460
- Katy won't always talk
about her personal experiences
704
00:36:01,493 --> 00:36:04,663
in interviews, but she will talk
about it through her music.
705
00:36:04,696 --> 00:36:06,598
- She tell a story
through her songs.
706
00:36:06,632 --> 00:36:09,235
It's not just a song
for a song's sake.
707
00:36:09,268 --> 00:36:10,936
You listen to her album
and you feel
708
00:36:10,969 --> 00:36:12,938
like you've gone
through it all with her.
709
00:36:12,971 --> 00:36:14,806
- At heart she's a naturally
creative person
710
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,244
as a singer songwriter,
and we know in art therapy
711
00:36:18,277 --> 00:36:20,546
and music therapy,
how powerful they are
712
00:36:20,579 --> 00:36:22,948
as tools at a
therapeutic level.
713
00:36:22,981 --> 00:36:26,552
- She seems to really relate
to people with her lyrics.
714
00:36:26,585 --> 00:36:29,388
- She writes it herself and
then the lyrics are written
715
00:36:29,421 --> 00:36:30,789
from personal experience.
716
00:36:30,822 --> 00:36:33,392
You can totally imagine
it's about that breakup
717
00:36:33,425 --> 00:36:35,294
and what she'd been through,
718
00:36:35,327 --> 00:36:37,663
and that's why I love
her music so much.
719
00:36:37,696 --> 00:36:40,766
Lyrics we all could cry
to sometimes
720
00:36:40,799 --> 00:36:44,470
because we think about
a boy or a breakup
721
00:36:44,503 --> 00:36:47,639
and we can put ourselves
completely in her shoes.
722
00:36:47,673 --> 00:36:49,375
- She was kind of
doing her own therapy
723
00:36:49,408 --> 00:36:53,579
by being creative, pouring
her heart into her lyrics.
724
00:36:53,612 --> 00:36:57,616
That is a powerful way of sort
of moving yourself forward.
725
00:36:59,651 --> 00:37:01,353
- During Katy's childhood,
726
00:37:01,387 --> 00:37:04,423
the Hudson family
lived a sheltered life.
727
00:37:04,456 --> 00:37:06,858
She and her two siblings
were not permitted
728
00:37:06,892 --> 00:37:08,994
to watch cable channels
like MTV,
729
00:37:09,027 --> 00:37:11,963
and pop music
was banned in the household.
730
00:37:11,997 --> 00:37:14,733
- I didn't really have a whole
lot of MTV in my life
731
00:37:14,766 --> 00:37:18,537
growing up, but I know that
when I did see
732
00:37:18,570 --> 00:37:21,773
the bits and pieces I saw,
they were really, like,
733
00:37:21,807 --> 00:37:25,611
powerful and it really
affected me,
734
00:37:25,644 --> 00:37:29,481
and I kind of grew up always,
you know, having that
735
00:37:29,515 --> 00:37:31,016
in the back of my mind saying,
736
00:37:31,049 --> 00:37:33,519
oh, I want to be a part
of something like that.
737
00:37:33,552 --> 00:37:38,424
- Katy was exposed to gospel
music only through her family.
738
00:37:38,457 --> 00:37:41,026
She was actually banned
from watching TV,
739
00:37:41,059 --> 00:37:44,463
she told us it was because
her parents didn't approve.
740
00:37:44,496 --> 00:37:46,031
- She wasn't allowed
to watch any TV,
741
00:37:46,064 --> 00:37:48,667
but obviously they
couldn't block everything out,
742
00:37:48,700 --> 00:37:52,904
and so, you know as
she became a young teenager
743
00:37:52,938 --> 00:37:55,707
and she went to friends'
places, she'd watch MTV.
744
00:37:55,741 --> 00:37:59,478
- When I was a kid,
I remember getting a hold
745
00:37:59,511 --> 00:38:02,348
of that "Jagged Little Pill"
record by Alanis Morissette.
746
00:38:02,381 --> 00:38:04,916
I felt like I was the only
person going through whatever
747
00:38:04,950 --> 00:38:07,719
I was going through and
then she sang songs
748
00:38:07,753 --> 00:38:10,021
and wrote songs about it,
and I was like,
749
00:38:10,055 --> 00:38:12,458
"okay, I'm not alone, great."
750
00:38:12,491 --> 00:38:14,493
- Katy seems to have a lot
of different influences.
751
00:38:14,526 --> 00:38:17,929
- She loved Alanis Morissette
which is quite at odds
752
00:38:17,963 --> 00:38:19,731
with her where she's playing
the guitar
753
00:38:19,765 --> 00:38:21,667
and she's singing
Christian songs.
754
00:38:21,700 --> 00:38:22,568
She's a real country girl.
755
00:38:22,601 --> 00:38:25,471
- Early style icons
were Gwen Stefani
756
00:38:25,504 --> 00:38:29,074
and Shirley Manson
in Garbage.
757
00:38:29,107 --> 00:38:32,978
- Other influences included
Madonna, Joni Mitchell,
758
00:38:33,011 --> 00:38:35,381
and Gwen Stefani
in particular.
759
00:38:35,414 --> 00:38:37,783
- She liked these sort
of rock star women.
760
00:38:37,816 --> 00:38:40,552
That's why her career took
a while to progress.
761
00:38:40,586 --> 00:38:43,522
It was about finding herself
and finding her sound.
762
00:38:43,555 --> 00:38:45,724
- She's obviously
this pop phenomenon now.
763
00:38:45,757 --> 00:38:47,759
She tried to go down
that slightly more
764
00:38:47,793 --> 00:38:49,094
underground route first.
765
00:38:49,127 --> 00:38:51,430
- It took her a while to do
that because she did
766
00:38:51,463 --> 00:38:54,099
have to rebel against her
background and her upbringing.
767
00:38:54,132 --> 00:38:56,635
So it probably took quite
a lot of strength for her to do
768
00:38:56,668 --> 00:38:58,970
it and that's what we
really admire about her.
769
00:38:59,004 --> 00:39:00,972
- I would have to add
to that Madonna
770
00:39:01,006 --> 00:39:02,974
has been a real
inspiration for her.
771
00:39:03,008 --> 00:39:05,744
Certainly you can see
the kind of 80s,
772
00:39:05,777 --> 00:39:10,382
"Desperately Seeking Susan" in
Katy quite a lot of the time.
773
00:39:10,416 --> 00:39:13,051
- I want to be that what is
she doing next artist.
774
00:39:13,084 --> 00:39:15,687
I really do because all
the people that I am inspired
775
00:39:15,721 --> 00:39:18,857
by are those types of artists,
so--
776
00:39:18,890 --> 00:39:20,592
like Freddy Mercury, Madonna.
777
00:39:20,626 --> 00:39:22,794
Everybody's always like,
what are they gonna do next,
778
00:39:22,828 --> 00:39:24,930
or what did he do next, or--
you know what I'm saying?
779
00:39:24,963 --> 00:39:27,065
So I definitely want
to push the envelope
780
00:39:27,098 --> 00:39:30,602
and just play music,
good music.
781
00:39:30,636 --> 00:39:32,838
I'm a female pop,
you know, person.
782
00:39:32,871 --> 00:39:37,042
I feel like sometimes
you're missing those females
783
00:39:37,075 --> 00:39:40,879
in the pop music industry
that actually bring it.
784
00:39:44,483 --> 00:39:46,818
- The first time she
heard Freddy Mercury's voice,
785
00:39:46,852 --> 00:39:50,021
it was just like time
stood still for her.
786
00:39:50,055 --> 00:39:52,458
- You wouldn't imagine
her liking somebody
787
00:39:52,491 --> 00:39:55,193
as rock as Queen,
but she really did.
788
00:39:55,226 --> 00:39:57,629
- I had that moment when
I was 15, and I had come
789
00:39:57,663 --> 00:40:00,165
from this sheltered
upbringing
790
00:40:00,198 --> 00:40:04,536
and didn't know really the name
of a Madonna song, you know?
791
00:40:04,570 --> 00:40:07,839
I didn't know really any
of that type of stuff
792
00:40:07,873 --> 00:40:10,809
that everybody was
just like, duh, to.
793
00:40:10,842 --> 00:40:14,513
And my best friend put on
a soundtrack to our day
794
00:40:14,546 --> 00:40:17,883
as we were, you know,
raiding her closet,
795
00:40:17,916 --> 00:40:20,619
and I remember
"Killer Queen" came on.
796
00:40:20,652 --> 00:40:25,791
And it was like I heard
the song and we were, you know,
797
00:40:25,824 --> 00:40:28,694
trying on these dresses on
top of her bed
798
00:40:28,727 --> 00:40:31,630
in this full length mirror,
and this song came on,
799
00:40:31,663 --> 00:40:34,833
and I just, like, had to sit
down on the edge of the bed
800
00:40:34,866 --> 00:40:38,103
and listen to these lyrics,
and I was just like,
801
00:40:38,136 --> 00:40:40,472
oh, my gosh, I never
thought that anybody
802
00:40:40,506 --> 00:40:44,610
could write lyrics like these,
especially a guy.
803
00:40:46,678 --> 00:40:49,214
Brian May from the band
Queen is here,
804
00:40:49,247 --> 00:40:51,517
gonna watch the show tonight,
805
00:40:51,550 --> 00:40:54,019
so I'm a little
nervous actually.
806
00:40:54,052 --> 00:40:55,887
- We're gonna invite him--
- No, you're not.
807
00:40:55,921 --> 00:40:57,923
- Yes. He was talking
to me about playing.
808
00:40:57,956 --> 00:41:00,492
- No, you're not.
I'll throw up.
809
00:41:00,526 --> 00:41:03,862
I'll -- I won't be
able to perform.
810
00:41:03,895 --> 00:41:06,998
( wretches )
811
00:41:07,032 --> 00:41:11,002
- All right.
Pink flamingos.
812
00:41:11,036 --> 00:41:12,671
- I saw that movie.
813
00:41:12,704 --> 00:41:15,206
- Pink flamingos. Everybody
say John Waters on three.
814
00:41:15,240 --> 00:41:18,910
- One, two, three...
John Waters!
815
00:41:22,981 --> 00:41:25,851
- Go, stretch, go!
816
00:41:25,884 --> 00:41:28,720
( cheering )
817
00:41:39,097 --> 00:41:40,566
- One, two, three.
818
00:41:40,599 --> 00:41:45,136
( cheering )
819
00:41:45,170 --> 00:41:49,307
- Brian May came
to a show in London.
820
00:41:49,340 --> 00:41:51,643
I had actually been
stalking him and, you know,
821
00:41:51,677 --> 00:41:54,746
having some of the people
that I worked with
822
00:41:54,780 --> 00:41:58,083
send emails saying, oh, by
the way, we're in town again.
823
00:41:58,116 --> 00:41:59,818
f you ever have a night off,
824
00:41:59,851 --> 00:42:02,187
we'd love for you to come
out and see the show.
825
00:42:02,220 --> 00:42:04,723
I was really nervous when
he actually decided
826
00:42:04,756 --> 00:42:06,758
he was going to show up,
but he was lovely
827
00:42:06,792 --> 00:42:10,796
and supportive and cool and
hung out with my bandmates,
828
00:42:10,829 --> 00:42:14,733
you know, when he probably has
a million other things to do.
829
00:42:23,208 --> 00:42:25,877
- By the time she was 15,
Katy Hudson's passion
830
00:42:25,911 --> 00:42:28,279
for music had grown.
831
00:42:28,313 --> 00:42:31,082
Chaperoned by her parents,
she began taking trips
832
00:42:31,116 --> 00:42:33,952
to Nashville, Tennessee
to pursue a career in
833
00:42:33,985 --> 00:42:35,987
the Christian music industry.
834
00:42:37,355 --> 00:42:40,325
- Katy left school at age
15 when she went off
835
00:42:40,358 --> 00:42:43,094
to Nashville to make
her first album.
836
00:42:43,128 --> 00:42:45,764
- She was taking trips
to Nashville and exploring
837
00:42:45,797 --> 00:42:48,199
the music scene when she
was 15 years old.
838
00:42:48,233 --> 00:42:49,467
She went back and forth.
839
00:42:49,500 --> 00:42:52,804
- She did end up finishing her
high school diploma later on.
840
00:42:52,838 --> 00:42:54,139
- She got signed by a label,
841
00:42:54,172 --> 00:42:56,608
then she released
a Christian album.
842
00:42:56,642 --> 00:42:58,777
- Katy's first album,
Katy Hudson,
843
00:42:58,810 --> 00:43:02,313
was released in 2001.
It was gospel music only.
844
00:43:02,347 --> 00:43:03,514
- It wasn't successful.
845
00:43:03,548 --> 00:43:06,952
- A Christian gospel album,
and sold, like, 200 copies.
846
00:43:06,985 --> 00:43:09,054
- Unfortunately,
the label went bust.
847
00:43:09,087 --> 00:43:11,923
- It was just a case of finding
herself, and I think that's
848
00:43:11,957 --> 00:43:13,759
why it was great that
she didn't make it
849
00:43:13,792 --> 00:43:15,961
in those early years with
those country albums,
850
00:43:15,994 --> 00:43:18,329
because that wasn't her,
and this is her now
851
00:43:18,363 --> 00:43:21,366
and it's really empowering
that she can be that.
852
00:43:21,733 --> 00:43:22,367
- Hi everyone.
853
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,370
( cheering )
854
00:43:25,403 --> 00:43:27,272
- This is kind of awesome.
855
00:43:27,305 --> 00:43:29,074
( cheering )
856
00:43:29,107 --> 00:43:31,009
- Can you hear me all
the way back there?
857
00:43:31,042 --> 00:43:33,344
( cheering )
858
00:43:33,378 --> 00:43:35,747
- Listen, so this is the
thing that's gonna happen.
859
00:43:35,781 --> 00:43:38,183
I have to act like
a professional on
860
00:43:38,216 --> 00:43:40,986
this pink carpet for a second,
and after I'm done acting
861
00:43:41,019 --> 00:43:42,688
like a professional,
I'm gonna come out
862
00:43:42,721 --> 00:43:43,922
and get wild with you, okay?
863
00:43:43,955 --> 00:43:44,923
( cheering )
864
00:43:49,795 --> 00:43:52,764
- Disappointed but undaunted
by the failure
865
00:43:52,798 --> 00:43:53,999
of her first album,
866
00:43:54,032 --> 00:43:56,768
Katy Hudson adopted
a new surname,
867
00:43:56,802 --> 00:44:00,706
abandoned the gospel genre,
and age just 17,
868
00:44:00,739 --> 00:44:03,742
headed to Los Angeles
to pursue her dream of
869
00:44:03,775 --> 00:44:05,777
stardom on
the pop circuit.
870
00:44:06,812 --> 00:44:08,313
- I started out playing
in this place
871
00:44:08,346 --> 00:44:10,782
in Los Angeles called
Hotel Café.
872
00:44:10,816 --> 00:44:12,417
A lot of musicians
come through there,
873
00:44:12,450 --> 00:44:14,419
a lot of singer songwriters.
874
00:44:14,452 --> 00:44:16,654
But you never know
who's going to show up.
875
00:44:20,025 --> 00:44:23,061
You can go into, like,
a bar and play a song
876
00:44:23,094 --> 00:44:27,432
and not have anybody listen and
you really kind of made it.
877
00:44:27,465 --> 00:44:31,837
- After her first album's
non-event, she wasn't deterred.
878
00:44:31,870 --> 00:44:33,939
She decided to go
to California
879
00:44:33,972 --> 00:44:36,407
and to pursue a career
in pop music.
880
00:44:36,441 --> 00:44:38,777
- She'd actually been
working really hard
881
00:44:38,810 --> 00:44:41,246
behind the scenes for many
years and trying to make it.
882
00:44:41,279 --> 00:44:44,249
- Katy changed her last
name from Hudson to Perry,
883
00:44:44,282 --> 00:44:46,151
which is her
mother's maiden name,
884
00:44:46,184 --> 00:44:48,419
because she was worried that
she would get associated
885
00:44:48,453 --> 00:44:51,322
with the Hollywood
actress Kate Hudson,
886
00:44:51,356 --> 00:44:53,358
because she was convinced
that she would become famous.
887
00:44:58,396 --> 00:45:01,399
- After her arrival in L.A.,
Katy was introduced to one
888
00:45:01,432 --> 00:45:05,003
of America's foremost
producers, Glen Ballard,
889
00:45:05,036 --> 00:45:07,105
who was responsible for
Alanis Morissette's
890
00:45:07,138 --> 00:45:10,008
chart-topping hit,
"Jagged Little Pill."
891
00:45:11,142 --> 00:45:14,479
- Katy met with Glen and
he was straightaway
892
00:45:14,512 --> 00:45:16,181
convinced that
she would be a star.
893
00:45:16,214 --> 00:45:18,483
Things started going
really well at first.
894
00:45:18,516 --> 00:45:20,852
She was writing heaps
and heaps of songs,
895
00:45:20,886 --> 00:45:23,054
and it looked like she would
get an album out.
896
00:45:23,088 --> 00:45:25,791
However, things stalled
quite quickly, and the next
897
00:45:25,824 --> 00:45:28,827
few years would be incredibly
frustrating for Katy.
898
00:45:29,494 --> 00:45:32,964
- Unable to secure a record
deal though Island Def Jam,
899
00:45:32,998 --> 00:45:36,134
Katy subsequently signed
with Columbia records,
900
00:45:36,167 --> 00:45:39,037
but they too let her go.
901
00:45:39,070 --> 00:45:42,340
- Originally her managers
wanted her to front a band
902
00:45:42,373 --> 00:45:45,310
in a Joan Jett style,
like a rock and roll band,
903
00:45:45,343 --> 00:45:47,212
and that didn't work out,
and they tried
904
00:45:47,245 --> 00:45:48,546
different incarnations.
905
00:45:48,579 --> 00:45:50,481
- She was trying
lots of different tacks
906
00:45:50,515 --> 00:45:52,784
to get her music out there.
907
00:45:52,818 --> 00:45:55,520
- Given that her management
company also managed the B-52s,
908
00:45:55,553 --> 00:45:58,790
it's not that much of a leap
to think that that's
909
00:45:58,824 --> 00:46:00,992
probably originally how
they'd envisioned her
910
00:46:01,026 --> 00:46:03,028
as something
more underground.
911
00:46:03,061 --> 00:46:06,264
- They kept saying you could
be the next Avril Lavigne
912
00:46:06,297 --> 00:46:08,934
or Kelly Clarkson, and
she didn't want to be.
913
00:46:08,967 --> 00:46:10,969
She just wanted
to be the first Katy.
914
00:46:13,538 --> 00:46:18,109
- By 2006, having been dropped
by three record labels,
915
00:46:18,143 --> 00:46:21,146
Katy was broke
and on the edge.
916
00:46:22,447 --> 00:46:24,415
- The guys that really
didn't understand
917
00:46:24,449 --> 00:46:28,053
my artistic vision
were like, no, we--
918
00:46:28,086 --> 00:46:30,021
we're not gonna put
her record out.
919
00:46:30,055 --> 00:46:32,257
And I played my songs,
I kept playing my songs,
920
00:46:32,290 --> 00:46:35,126
and what was responding
were the people.
921
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:36,227
They were there for me.
922
00:46:36,261 --> 00:46:38,363
And people were
supporting these songs
923
00:46:38,396 --> 00:46:40,565
and they were
telling me this--
924
00:46:40,598 --> 00:46:42,800
that this was
the right thing to do.
925
00:46:44,135 --> 00:46:47,405
- She had a period in 2006
where she was quite down
926
00:46:47,438 --> 00:46:49,975
and she was struggling
to get her first album out.
927
00:46:50,008 --> 00:46:51,910
She admits
she went out drinking
928
00:46:51,943 --> 00:46:53,111
quite a bit at that stage.
929
00:46:53,144 --> 00:46:55,180
- She's not had
an easy journey.
930
00:46:55,213 --> 00:46:57,282
She's worked hard
for her success.
931
00:46:57,315 --> 00:47:00,551
- There's that definite sense
of incredible determination.
932
00:47:00,585 --> 00:47:05,190
- Katy is a billion trillion
percent dedicated to her craft.
933
00:47:05,223 --> 00:47:06,424
- If you want to succeed
in anything,
934
00:47:06,457 --> 00:47:08,259
you've got to just
absolutely dedicate
935
00:47:08,293 --> 00:47:10,828
your life to it,
and she has.
936
00:47:11,496 --> 00:47:15,300
- Katy's undeniable talent
and willful determination
937
00:47:15,333 --> 00:47:18,169
to succeed paid off in 2007
938
00:47:18,203 --> 00:47:21,106
when she was signed by
the Capitol Music Group.
939
00:47:21,139 --> 00:47:23,474
By November that year,
a digital release
940
00:47:23,508 --> 00:47:26,044
of "You're So Gay"
was unleashed.
941
00:47:26,311 --> 00:47:28,013
- It's important for me
to come out and support
942
00:47:28,046 --> 00:47:30,548
Katy Perry because I've been
a big fan of hers
943
00:47:30,581 --> 00:47:34,185
for a long time,
before Madonna.
944
00:47:34,219 --> 00:47:36,521
In case you don't know,
Madonna gave her a shout out
945
00:47:36,554 --> 00:47:40,591
a few times saying that one
her songs, "You're So Gay,"
946
00:47:40,625 --> 00:47:43,328
was her favorite song
of the moment.
947
00:47:43,361 --> 00:47:45,096
But I wrote about Katy first,
948
00:47:45,130 --> 00:47:47,665
and I think I introduced
her to Madonna.
949
00:47:47,698 --> 00:47:51,502
- For Madonna to know somebody's
first and last name, what?
950
00:47:51,536 --> 00:47:53,972
Madonna.
What are you thinking?
951
00:47:54,005 --> 00:47:58,243
I reached out for
my inhaler most definitely.
952
00:47:58,276 --> 00:48:00,645
When I heard that I was like,
ooh, I can't breathe,
953
00:48:00,678 --> 00:48:02,981
I can't breathe,
I can't breathe.
954
00:48:03,014 --> 00:48:05,350
So most definitely amazing.
955
00:48:06,651 --> 00:48:10,655
- She did "You're So Gay,"
free released in 2007.
956
00:48:10,688 --> 00:48:14,092
- "You're So Gay" was a free
download on her MySpace page.
957
00:48:14,125 --> 00:48:17,262
It was received pretty well
by her followers at the time.
958
00:48:19,097 --> 00:48:20,932
- The debut single,
"You're So Gay"
959
00:48:20,966 --> 00:48:25,203
generated some media attention,
but failed to chart.
960
00:48:25,236 --> 00:48:29,340
- In 2008, Katy teamed up
with power pop writing
961
00:48:29,374 --> 00:48:33,011
duo Max Martin and Dr. Luke,
the collaborators
962
00:48:33,044 --> 00:48:35,180
behind the hits of
Britney Spears,
963
00:48:35,213 --> 00:48:37,348
Pink, and Taylor Swift.
964
00:48:37,382 --> 00:48:39,517
- The label suggested
that Katy get in the studio
965
00:48:39,550 --> 00:48:42,220
with a couple of
really happening producers,
966
00:48:42,253 --> 00:48:44,655
Dr. Luke and Max Martin.
967
00:48:44,689 --> 00:48:47,959
- She walked into a
rehearsal studio and said,
968
00:48:47,993 --> 00:48:51,429
you know, that's it, I'm going
to be part of the problem.
969
00:48:51,462 --> 00:48:53,364
And they said, what do you
mean, and she said,
970
00:48:53,398 --> 00:48:55,100
I just want to make
sure that this happens,
971
00:48:55,133 --> 00:48:56,501
so I'm going to be
a pop star.
972
00:48:56,534 --> 00:48:58,203
And that was, like,
the moment she decided
973
00:48:58,236 --> 00:49:01,339
to become Katy Perry almost.
974
00:49:01,372 --> 00:49:02,573
- They had quickly come up
with about
975
00:49:02,607 --> 00:49:06,677
three different songs, one of
which was "I Kissed a Girl."
976
00:49:07,745 --> 00:49:10,982
- The California dreamer
had achieved her goal.
977
00:49:11,016 --> 00:49:14,219
In true fairy tale fashion,
she rebranded herself
978
00:49:14,252 --> 00:49:16,321
and exploded onto
the mainstream
979
00:49:16,354 --> 00:49:19,991
with the 2008 release
of the infectious single,
980
00:49:20,025 --> 00:49:21,426
"I Kissed a Girl."
981
00:49:21,459 --> 00:49:24,095
- I would like to thank
Dr. Luke for ordering lunch
982
00:49:24,129 --> 00:49:28,566
for us and for
setting up the hookah,
983
00:49:28,599 --> 00:49:33,371
and for calling the tech
984
00:49:33,404 --> 00:49:37,208
when the computer crashes,
985
00:49:37,242 --> 00:49:39,577
and for making me rich!
986
00:49:39,610 --> 00:49:43,214
I love you!
You're a pain in the ass!
987
00:49:47,652 --> 00:49:50,288
- The single provide to be
one of the most infectious
988
00:49:50,321 --> 00:49:53,491
power-pop anthems of
the decade, and established
989
00:49:53,524 --> 00:49:57,195
Katy's metamorphosis
into America's pop sweetheart,
990
00:49:57,228 --> 00:50:00,331
and the world's
best-selling star.
991
00:50:00,365 --> 00:50:04,602
- It was, you know,
something that I didn't think
992
00:50:04,635 --> 00:50:07,772
ever could really
happen because, I mean,
993
00:50:07,805 --> 00:50:11,209
my record only came out,
like, five months ago.
994
00:50:11,242 --> 00:50:15,446
I should still be at
home eating mac and cheese
995
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:18,449
watching the VMAs,
but I hosted it.
996
00:50:18,483 --> 00:50:19,584
It was larger than life.
997
00:50:19,617 --> 00:50:22,187
- It was only when she
did something as controversial
998
00:50:22,220 --> 00:50:25,623
as singing about kissing
a girl, that she made it.
999
00:50:25,656 --> 00:50:28,193
- It's got that sort
of salacious vibe to it,
1000
00:50:28,226 --> 00:50:30,595
but as her career
has progressed,
1001
00:50:30,628 --> 00:50:33,064
that song has made
a lot more sense.
1002
00:50:33,098 --> 00:50:36,101
- It's a massive, massive
commercial success.
1003
00:50:36,801 --> 00:50:40,171
- Quite often I will hear
of musicians and singers many,
1004
00:50:40,205 --> 00:50:42,373
many years before
they make it big,
1005
00:50:42,407 --> 00:50:44,775
and they'll be a bit of a buzz,
but I literally didn't hear
1006
00:50:44,809 --> 00:50:49,147
of her until that summer, and
it was just Katy's summer.
1007
00:50:49,180 --> 00:50:51,816
- "I Kissed a Girl" was
instantly a worldwide hit.
1008
00:50:51,849 --> 00:50:54,419
- It went to number one,
and we heard it everywhere.
1009
00:50:54,452 --> 00:50:56,821
- It was like, bang,
overnight success.
1010
00:50:56,854 --> 00:50:58,589
- I'm gonna call my friends
and say,
1011
00:50:58,623 --> 00:51:01,426
please don't order
without me, I'm starving.
1012
00:51:01,459 --> 00:51:03,428
And by the way,
I got nominated.
1013
00:51:03,461 --> 00:51:04,462
Booyah.
1014
00:51:08,466 --> 00:51:11,336
- Katy's first mainstream album,
"One of the Boys,"
1015
00:51:11,369 --> 00:51:13,438
shot into the top ten
in America,
1016
00:51:13,471 --> 00:51:16,307
and produced a string of hits,
including "Hot and Cold,"
1017
00:51:16,341 --> 00:51:18,376
and "Waking Up in Vegas."
1018
00:51:18,409 --> 00:51:22,113
Katy's stardom has been
soaring ever since.
1019
00:51:22,147 --> 00:51:23,814
- When I wrote
"Waking Up in Vegas,"
1020
00:51:23,848 --> 00:51:26,751
it was just basically about
getting into trouble.
1021
00:51:26,784 --> 00:51:28,853
I don't know if you
know anything about Vegas,
1022
00:51:28,886 --> 00:51:30,688
but it's a place where
you get into trouble.
1023
00:51:30,721 --> 00:51:34,825
You probably don't write home
about it necessarily.
1024
00:51:34,859 --> 00:51:37,828
And usually you take your
best friend or your boyfriend
1025
00:51:37,862 --> 00:51:40,698
or, you know, that person you
can have trouble with,
1026
00:51:40,731 --> 00:51:43,601
and you really
can't apologize afterwards,
1027
00:51:43,634 --> 00:51:47,505
even if you look like crap
the next day or you ended up
1028
00:51:47,538 --> 00:51:51,809
having to bail yourself out
of some kind of situation.
1029
00:51:51,842 --> 00:51:56,581
It's a fun kind of party
anthemic song
1030
00:51:56,614 --> 00:52:02,387
just about having a
great time, you know?
1031
00:52:02,420 --> 00:52:05,423
- By the end of 2008,
"One of the Boys"
1032
00:52:05,456 --> 00:52:09,327
had reached platinum success,
and Katy's professional career
1033
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:14,532
continued to progress
full steam ahead.
1034
00:52:14,565 --> 00:52:16,201
- Are you confident
this evening,
1035
00:52:16,234 --> 00:52:18,536
are you confident
about your chances?
1036
00:52:18,569 --> 00:52:19,870
- No. Not at all.
1037
00:52:19,904 --> 00:52:23,274
It's very competitive
in my-- in my category.
1038
00:52:23,308 --> 00:52:24,575
- Are you a fan of the Brits,
1039
00:52:24,609 --> 00:52:26,377
is it something
you've watched before?
1040
00:52:26,411 --> 00:52:28,313
- I haven't watched it because
I live in the States,
1041
00:52:28,346 --> 00:52:30,748
but I know--
I know it's important.
1042
00:52:30,781 --> 00:52:34,419
I know it's, you know,
as important as the Grammys,
1043
00:52:34,452 --> 00:52:39,724
and to be a foreigner on,
you know, be a foreigner
1044
00:52:39,757 --> 00:52:42,760
here and to be nominated is
a big deal, so thanks.
1045
00:52:43,961 --> 00:52:47,865
- Six MTV Music Awards and
two Grammy Award nominations
1046
00:52:47,898 --> 00:52:51,936
later, the multifaceted
artist began writing tracks
1047
00:52:51,969 --> 00:52:56,374
for her career-defining
"Teenage Dream" album.
1048
00:52:56,407 --> 00:52:59,610
- I don't feel completely
different than when I started.
1049
00:52:59,644 --> 00:53:01,879
I feel like I have a lot
to prove still,
1050
00:53:01,912 --> 00:53:07,818
and I still have that ambition
and that drive that I had,
1051
00:53:07,852 --> 00:53:09,720
you know, when I didn't
have anybody
1052
00:53:09,754 --> 00:53:12,857
or when I didn't know what
was going to happen
1053
00:53:12,890 --> 00:53:15,226
in the future, if I was going
to make it or anything.
1054
00:53:15,260 --> 00:53:18,563
I still kind of fell that
way of, like, oh, this is great,
1055
00:53:18,596 --> 00:53:23,401
I had a great hit record and
I know that I'm good at this,
1056
00:53:23,434 --> 00:53:26,771
and this is my gift, but I know
I have to work at it
1057
00:53:26,804 --> 00:53:29,507
and continue to kind of
keep shaping it and not just,
1058
00:53:29,540 --> 00:53:33,311
like, let it sit out and,
you know, oh, now,
1059
00:53:33,344 --> 00:53:36,681
I'm famous and I have 12 people
doing it all for me, you know?
1060
00:53:36,714 --> 00:53:40,285
No. I can't do that type
of stuff, or it won't work.
1061
00:53:40,318 --> 00:53:42,820
Like, you know, all that stuff
I've been going through
1062
00:53:42,853 --> 00:53:46,991
and perspective I see life now
and the relationships
1063
00:53:47,024 --> 00:53:49,894
I have with people, you know,
all that's kind of bubbling
1064
00:53:49,927 --> 00:53:52,297
to the top, and it's going
to spill over
1065
00:53:52,330 --> 00:53:56,401
and it's definitely going
to seep into all of my songs.
1066
00:53:56,434 --> 00:53:58,703
I guess, you know,
I'm over my period.
1067
00:53:58,736 --> 00:54:00,771
I'm-- I know how
to handle boys now.
1068
00:54:00,805 --> 00:54:02,307
Actually, I don't even
mess with boys anymore.
1069
00:54:02,340 --> 00:54:03,874
I mess with men, you know?
1070
00:54:07,578 --> 00:54:11,782
- Katy's highly publicized
romances with celebrity bad boys
1071
00:54:11,816 --> 00:54:14,819
have always ensured
she dominates the headlines.
1072
00:54:16,587 --> 00:54:20,925
- I'm doing a ton of festivals,
and usually will actually have
1073
00:54:20,958 --> 00:54:23,594
a couple of my girlfriends out
because I told them come out.
1074
00:54:23,628 --> 00:54:25,863
I'm gonna go and do
a couple festivals,
1075
00:54:25,896 --> 00:54:27,031
and I'll be backstage,
and there's lot of
1076
00:54:27,064 --> 00:54:30,435
hot, hot
band boys hanging out.
1077
00:54:30,468 --> 00:54:33,671
You should come and
you can creep on them.
1078
00:54:33,704 --> 00:54:36,774
And we get into
trouble, yeah.
1079
00:54:36,807 --> 00:54:37,942
We definitely do.
1080
00:54:40,478 --> 00:54:43,814
- Katy first met British actor
and controversial comedian
1081
00:54:43,848 --> 00:54:47,485
Russell Brand in 2009
during filming for
1082
00:54:47,518 --> 00:54:50,355
a cameo appearance for the movie
"Get Him to the Greek."
1083
00:54:53,658 --> 00:54:55,993
- Distinction and
difference from each other,
1084
00:54:56,026 --> 00:54:58,028
I think is really,
really important,
1085
00:54:58,729 --> 00:55:02,367
and genuine affection,
I think.
1086
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:05,803
Genuine affection
but difference, I think,
1087
00:55:05,836 --> 00:55:06,837
creates good chemistry.
1088
00:55:07,905 --> 00:55:12,109
- Katy first encountered
Russell Brand in the movie
1089
00:55:12,142 --> 00:55:13,277
"Get Him to the Greek."
1090
00:55:13,310 --> 00:55:16,080
She was filmed in a cameo
role where she actually had
1091
00:55:16,113 --> 00:55:18,082
to kiss Russell,
but it got cut,
1092
00:55:18,115 --> 00:55:20,317
so it never appeared
in the final movie.
1093
00:55:21,852 --> 00:55:23,854
- I nearly choked on
my coffee when I first heard
1094
00:55:23,888 --> 00:55:26,891
that she was going out
with Russell Brand.
1095
00:55:26,924 --> 00:55:28,593
- It was weird when they
got together actually,
1096
00:55:28,626 --> 00:55:30,961
because knowing them
separately, you would never,
1097
00:55:30,995 --> 00:55:33,864
ever, ever put
them together.
1098
00:55:33,898 --> 00:55:36,634
- They looked like such
incredibly different characters.
1099
00:55:36,667 --> 00:55:39,604
You know, he always has the dark
and kind of seedy side to him
1100
00:55:39,637 --> 00:55:42,573
and she was this kind
of fresh, you know, vibrant,
1101
00:55:42,607 --> 00:55:45,710
energetic pop princess
who really knows her own mind,
1102
00:55:45,743 --> 00:55:47,645
but she still had
that kind of very fresh
1103
00:55:47,678 --> 00:55:49,880
and innocent look about her.
1104
00:55:49,914 --> 00:55:51,582
- He looked like this kind
of challenge and this guy
1105
00:55:51,616 --> 00:55:53,017
that she could help,
and we know she's
1106
00:55:53,050 --> 00:55:54,952
so positive and amazing.
1107
00:55:54,985 --> 00:55:56,854
- So in one sense it
was kind of like,
1108
00:55:56,887 --> 00:55:59,657
whoa, they're going
to make it work.
1109
00:55:59,690 --> 00:56:00,958
- She took quite a fancy to him,
1110
00:56:00,991 --> 00:56:02,760
but, you know,
he was trying to,
1111
00:56:02,793 --> 00:56:05,095
like, get her to go out with
him that night, and she said,
1112
00:56:05,129 --> 00:56:06,797
no, you're going to have
to wine and dine me,
1113
00:56:06,831 --> 00:56:09,934
and it sort of developed
from there.
1114
00:56:09,967 --> 00:56:12,403
- Russell Brand achieved
notoriety in Britain
1115
00:56:12,437 --> 00:56:15,440
as a television host
and stand-up comedian.
1116
00:56:16,841 --> 00:56:20,745
- Who is using this as an
opportunity shoplift?
1117
00:56:20,778 --> 00:56:21,812
Yeah.
1118
00:56:21,846 --> 00:56:23,948
I definitely would because
a lot of the security
1119
00:56:23,981 --> 00:56:27,452
is distracted at a time
like this, so yeah, feel free.
1120
00:56:27,485 --> 00:56:28,786
- Russell was really fun
1121
00:56:28,819 --> 00:56:31,121
and I thought he was
quite charming to begin with.
1122
00:56:31,155 --> 00:56:33,958
- Working in London since
I was 18, I've known Russell
1123
00:56:33,991 --> 00:56:37,528
on the scene before
he moved to L.A.
1124
00:56:37,562 --> 00:56:42,767
To say that he was a lothario
is an understatement, you know.
1125
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:46,136
He would leave venues
and clubs with like,
1126
00:56:46,170 --> 00:56:48,005
four or five girls.
1127
00:56:48,038 --> 00:56:50,775
- He has a really
short attention span
1128
00:56:50,808 --> 00:56:54,144
and gets bored easily,
and just go, go, go.
1129
00:56:54,178 --> 00:56:57,648
- Katy's kissing scene was
cut from "Get Him to the Greek,"
1130
00:56:57,682 --> 00:57:01,519
but in September 2009,
the on screen passion
1131
00:57:01,552 --> 00:57:05,022
bubbled over into real life
when the couple's paths
1132
00:57:05,055 --> 00:57:08,693
crossed again at
the MTV Video Music Awards.
1133
00:57:10,027 --> 00:57:11,696
- I don't think she realized
the impact that
1134
00:57:11,729 --> 00:57:15,600
that would have on me, like--
because it was sort of,
1135
00:57:15,633 --> 00:57:17,668
like, you know, there's not
a person in my life
1136
00:57:17,702 --> 00:57:19,570
that I haven't
at some point sulked about
1137
00:57:19,604 --> 00:57:21,506
and not spoken to for
at least a few days.
1138
00:57:21,539 --> 00:57:23,474
But it was like reaching
back into your childhood,
1139
00:57:23,508 --> 00:57:27,144
taking the injured nincompoop
of the boy I was
1140
00:57:27,177 --> 00:57:30,481
and sort of putting
a laurel upon his brow.
1141
00:57:30,515 --> 00:57:32,783
It was, like, marvelous,
and plus she looked amazing.
1142
00:57:32,817 --> 00:57:35,553
- They met at the MTV Awards
and they had a play fight and,
1143
00:57:35,586 --> 00:57:40,124
you know, I bet he would
have been very funny and fun
1144
00:57:40,157 --> 00:57:44,194
and that would have been really
nice and refreshing for her.
1145
00:57:44,228 --> 00:57:46,797
Because I suppose
that most guys that she meets
1146
00:57:46,831 --> 00:57:51,101
are kind of, like,
a bit intimidated by her.
1147
00:57:51,135 --> 00:57:52,937
- She is a feisty woman.
1148
00:57:52,970 --> 00:57:54,805
She's not going
to choose a doormat.
1149
00:57:54,839 --> 00:57:56,841
She would be utterly
bored with a man
1150
00:57:56,874 --> 00:57:58,809
who followed her around
like a puppy.
1151
00:57:58,843 --> 00:58:00,978
She's a challenge herself,
so of course she's going
1152
00:58:01,011 --> 00:58:03,013
to choose challenging men.
1153
00:58:04,815 --> 00:58:08,052
- He prefers to sort of
date a string of women.
1154
00:58:08,085 --> 00:58:11,055
He has had problems with sex
and passion addiction.
1155
00:58:11,088 --> 00:58:13,023
- Now, another aspect,
of course, to that kind
1156
00:58:13,057 --> 00:58:16,961
of womanizing is the sense
of the thrill that they get.
1157
00:58:16,994 --> 00:58:19,797
Russell has spoken
about that very honestly.
1158
00:58:19,830 --> 00:58:22,567
Like a love pirate,
he kind of made his way
1159
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:24,869
through all these
sort of women,
1160
00:58:24,902 --> 00:58:29,006
and at some level, women
are attracted to that.
1161
00:58:30,575 --> 00:58:32,677
- They both seemed to fall
in love with each other
1162
00:58:32,710 --> 00:58:37,247
very quickly,
very deeply, madly.
1163
00:58:37,281 --> 00:58:41,786
- Katy wouldn't talk about it
as such, but she couldn't
1164
00:58:41,819 --> 00:58:44,288
resist kind of talking about
it a little bit
1165
00:58:44,321 --> 00:58:47,892
because she was so happy and
she was planning their wedding.
1166
00:58:53,030 --> 00:58:56,867
- The couple became engaged
on New Year's Eve 2009
1167
00:58:56,901 --> 00:59:01,038
while on holiday
in Rajasthan, India.
1168
00:59:01,071 --> 00:59:02,172
- We're getting married.
1169
00:59:02,206 --> 00:59:05,676
It's going to be somewhere
fabulous, but I can't say.
1170
00:59:05,710 --> 00:59:06,877
It's definitely not
in India because we
1171
00:59:06,911 --> 00:59:08,613
already went there,
I was already engaged,
1172
00:59:08,646 --> 00:59:11,649
I was there for two weeks.
Over it.
1173
00:59:12,950 --> 00:59:14,284
Japan!
1174
00:59:14,318 --> 00:59:16,353
- British comedian Russell Brand
1175
00:59:16,386 --> 00:59:20,190
and American pop star Katy Perry
have tied the knot.
1176
00:59:20,224 --> 00:59:22,226
The couple has issued
a statement confirming
1177
00:59:22,259 --> 00:59:24,962
they were married Saturday
in a private
1178
00:59:24,995 --> 00:59:28,699
and spiritual ceremony
in northern India.
1179
00:59:28,733 --> 00:59:31,135
A Christian minister
and long-time friend
1180
00:59:31,168 --> 00:59:34,972
of Perry's family helped
the couple exchange vows.
1181
00:59:35,005 --> 00:59:37,942
The wedding was reportedly
held at a luxury resort
1182
00:59:37,975 --> 00:59:41,345
in a tiger reserve attended
by family members
1183
00:59:41,378 --> 00:59:43,080
and close friends.
1184
00:59:43,113 --> 00:59:46,350
Security was tight at
the hotel with private guards
1185
00:59:46,383 --> 00:59:51,155
stationed there, and
at other nearby hotels.
1186
00:59:51,188 --> 00:59:53,791
The couple and their
guests started arriving
1187
00:59:53,824 --> 00:59:57,261
in Jaipur for the six-day
celebration on Wednesday.
1188
00:59:57,294 --> 01:00:00,765
Brand proposed to Perry
in the historic Indian city
1189
01:00:00,798 --> 01:00:02,232
back in January.
1190
01:00:02,266 --> 01:00:05,235
Ross Simpson,
the Associated Press.
1191
01:00:05,269 --> 01:00:07,738
- The real Russell Brand,
wherever the hell he is
1192
01:00:07,772 --> 01:00:09,940
has been tamed.
- He has.
1193
01:00:09,974 --> 01:00:10,741
- With dog sweets.
1194
01:00:10,775 --> 01:00:12,342
- I was just happy
for them both.
1195
01:00:12,376 --> 01:00:14,378
- I was, like,
Russell and Katy,
1196
01:00:14,411 --> 01:00:16,647
okay, getting married,
that's cool.
1197
01:00:16,681 --> 01:00:19,083
- They seemed really cute
and really loved up,
1198
01:00:19,116 --> 01:00:22,152
so of course you would like
to see someone that you know
1199
01:00:22,186 --> 01:00:24,789
happy, if it's not with you,
with somebody else.
1200
01:00:24,822 --> 01:00:26,757
- Anything that flagged
up to me that they were not
1201
01:00:26,791 --> 01:00:28,693
going to work out was
the fact that they had
1202
01:00:28,726 --> 01:00:31,662
that huge over-the-top
wedding which,
1203
01:00:31,696 --> 01:00:35,733
when people put everything
into show, often underneath
1204
01:00:35,766 --> 01:00:38,669
it it's because there's nothing
really there to support it,
1205
01:00:38,703 --> 01:00:40,938
and they feel
they overcompensate
1206
01:00:40,971 --> 01:00:44,208
at a psychological level
by showing to the world how
1207
01:00:44,241 --> 01:00:47,411
big their love is when
actually it's quite fragile.
1208
01:00:47,444 --> 01:00:49,179
- They hadn't known each
other that long,
1209
01:00:49,213 --> 01:00:51,215
but she was just feeling
this romance,
1210
01:00:51,248 --> 01:00:54,218
and she fell totally
in love with him, and him her,
1211
01:00:54,251 --> 01:00:56,286
and they went for it.
1212
01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:58,856
[ UNINTELLIGIBLE ]
1213
01:00:58,989 --> 01:01:00,224
- Sorry. Sorry.
1214
01:01:00,257 --> 01:01:03,293
- Every day is a laugh
with this crazy ass one.
1215
01:01:03,327 --> 01:01:05,095
Let's go eat.
1216
01:01:05,129 --> 01:01:06,130
- Bye-bye.
1217
01:01:09,133 --> 01:01:13,904
- In 2010, Katy returned
with yet another hit machine.
1218
01:01:13,938 --> 01:01:16,273
The album "Teenage Dream"
took her career
1219
01:01:16,306 --> 01:01:18,943
to record-breaking heights
when she became
1220
01:01:18,976 --> 01:01:22,279
the first female artist
in history to produce
1221
01:01:22,312 --> 01:01:25,850
five number one hits
from a single album.
1222
01:01:27,017 --> 01:01:29,319
- I am on
the battlefield myself,
1223
01:01:29,353 --> 01:01:32,422
but I'm just singing pop songs.
1224
01:01:32,456 --> 01:01:35,125
But yeah, I'm away from
my hubby every once in a while
1225
01:01:35,159 --> 01:01:39,997
and we use Skype and iChat and,
you know, that really helps.
1226
01:01:40,030 --> 01:01:44,301
And so I just hope
that everybody can find,
1227
01:01:44,334 --> 01:01:49,439
you know, a great Christmas
and, you know, be blessed.
1228
01:01:49,473 --> 01:01:52,176
- In 2010, "Teenage Dream"
was released,
1229
01:01:52,209 --> 01:01:54,178
and that basically
eclipsed everything
1230
01:01:54,211 --> 01:01:55,746
that had come before it
1231
01:01:55,780 --> 01:01:58,482
as far as Katy's recording
career was concerned.
1232
01:01:58,515 --> 01:02:01,418
- Her second album, that was
phenomenally successful
1233
01:02:01,451 --> 01:02:03,420
in a record-breaking way.
1234
01:02:03,453 --> 01:02:06,857
She is the only female artist
who have got
1235
01:02:06,891 --> 01:02:10,027
five number one singles
from an album ever.
1236
01:02:10,060 --> 01:02:12,897
That was just an amazing
accomplishment for Katy,
1237
01:02:12,930 --> 01:02:14,431
especially at such a young age.
1238
01:02:14,464 --> 01:02:17,267
The only other person to
do that was Michael Jackson.
1239
01:02:17,301 --> 01:02:21,505
So it was crazy successful
and she's still flying.
1240
01:02:21,538 --> 01:02:24,508
- Previously in the past
years I've had a nomination
1241
01:02:24,541 --> 01:02:28,813
for best female pop performance,
and I was nominated
1242
01:02:28,846 --> 01:02:32,349
for that award this year,
third time, plus three more.
1243
01:02:32,382 --> 01:02:35,319
So I feel a lot
of love coming my way.
1244
01:02:35,352 --> 01:02:37,087
I feel like I made
the right decisions
1245
01:02:37,121 --> 01:02:40,157
with the record and, you know,
once again, like,
1246
01:02:40,190 --> 01:02:45,329
my gut feeling, my instincts
have paid off for me, so--
1247
01:02:45,362 --> 01:02:48,833
- Riding high on the phenomenal
success of "Teenage Dream,"
1248
01:02:48,866 --> 01:02:52,937
in February 2011, Katy launched
a second extravagant
1249
01:02:52,970 --> 01:02:57,207
world tour,
"California Dreams."
1250
01:02:57,241 --> 01:02:59,376
- I think that's what
I'm all about is having fun
1251
01:02:59,409 --> 01:03:02,446
and making people realize
that music can still be
1252
01:03:02,479 --> 01:03:04,181
very fun and entertaining.
1253
01:03:04,214 --> 01:03:09,286
And I do like to, you know,
be-- have my serious points,
1254
01:03:09,319 --> 01:03:14,024
but generally, life is really
serious and it's nice to kind
1255
01:03:14,058 --> 01:03:16,293
of take a breather from
that for an hour and a half
1256
01:03:16,326 --> 01:03:18,095
when you come to the show.
1257
01:03:18,128 --> 01:03:22,166
- In 2011 Katy embarked
on her second major tour.
1258
01:03:22,199 --> 01:03:24,268
This one was called
California Dreams.
1259
01:03:24,301 --> 01:03:28,906
It was 123 dates across
three continents.
1260
01:03:28,939 --> 01:03:31,041
- It was absolutely huge
in terms of the size
1261
01:03:31,075 --> 01:03:35,579
of the arenas, which ranged
from about 6,000 to 12,000.
1262
01:03:35,612 --> 01:03:37,982
The scope of it was
mind-blowing, really.
1263
01:03:38,015 --> 01:03:41,251
- It was just incredible.
It took her a year to do.
1264
01:03:41,285 --> 01:03:42,586
- You've never seen
anything like it.
1265
01:03:42,619 --> 01:03:46,490
She had eight juggernauts with
the stage in them,
1266
01:03:46,523 --> 01:03:48,392
and then she had about
ten tour buses.
1267
01:03:48,425 --> 01:03:52,529
She had 80 crew which
were her riggers, sparks,
1268
01:03:52,562 --> 01:03:55,632
she had a boatload of
dancers, choreographers.
1269
01:03:55,665 --> 01:04:01,105
She had about four costumiers,
a masseuse, a personal trainer.
1270
01:04:01,138 --> 01:04:04,875
She had her two managers with
her, her sister,
1271
01:04:04,909 --> 01:04:07,444
her P.A. and a full catering.
1272
01:04:07,477 --> 01:04:09,379
- When I tour I take
a few people with me.
1273
01:04:09,413 --> 01:04:12,449
My band and all the productions
and things like that.
1274
01:04:12,482 --> 01:04:15,485
A lot of times I usually
ask for baby wipes backstage
1275
01:04:15,519 --> 01:04:18,155
because they're great
for makeup,
1276
01:04:18,188 --> 01:04:19,990
they're great for when you
don't have a shower,
1277
01:04:20,024 --> 01:04:22,927
and they're good
for other things.
1278
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:27,464
And I love having a humidifier
in my room at all times.
1279
01:04:30,167 --> 01:04:32,402
- I was hired at Katy's dancer.
1280
01:04:32,436 --> 01:04:33,971
I stood next to her
because we're very
1281
01:04:34,004 --> 01:04:36,040
similar height, so as we
enter the stage,
1282
01:04:36,073 --> 01:04:39,276
she was right next to me,
and she was shaking.
1283
01:04:39,309 --> 01:04:41,011
I grabbed her hand,
and I looked at her
1284
01:04:41,045 --> 01:04:43,147
and I was like,
you gonna be all right?
1285
01:04:43,180 --> 01:04:44,248
And she, like, in this,
like, cute little
1286
01:04:44,281 --> 01:04:46,483
American accent, she's like,
yeah, I know, I know.
1287
01:04:46,516 --> 01:04:49,486
And she just, like,
that steely focus,
1288
01:04:49,519 --> 01:04:50,955
and she smashed it.
1289
01:04:52,089 --> 01:04:56,093
- And she has this persona
of being a semi-50s pinup,
1290
01:04:56,126 --> 01:04:58,562
but there's
a lot of double entendre
1291
01:04:58,595 --> 01:05:01,999
and innuendo
in her performances.
1292
01:05:02,032 --> 01:05:03,533
- She had a huge prop,
she came out with
1293
01:05:03,567 --> 01:05:06,070
this massive lipstick,
like riding up with,
1294
01:05:06,103 --> 01:05:07,304
like, a big helmet on.
1295
01:05:07,337 --> 01:05:13,010
So she was on this Chapstick
that looked a male sexual organ.
1296
01:05:13,043 --> 01:05:16,146
So I'm remember on rehearsals,
like, she came riding
1297
01:05:16,180 --> 01:05:18,048
and she's, you know,
like, oh, yeah, oh, my God,
1298
01:05:18,082 --> 01:05:19,316
it's so good, it's so hot.
1299
01:05:19,349 --> 01:05:23,020
So, you know, we all
thought it was brilliant.
1300
01:05:23,053 --> 01:05:25,055
- Katy had fireworks in
the background,
1301
01:05:25,089 --> 01:05:28,458
so the pyrotechnic that
we had to use on stage,
1302
01:05:28,492 --> 01:05:31,996
we had these backpacks
that looked like
Ninja Turtle backpacks,
1303
01:05:32,029 --> 01:05:35,165
these circular things,
and they have fireworks
1304
01:05:35,199 --> 01:05:38,235
that spin around and create
a giant Catherine wheel
behind you.
1305
01:05:38,268 --> 01:05:40,070
If it goes wrong,
it could be dangerous.
1306
01:05:40,104 --> 01:05:41,038
They were quite scary.
1307
01:05:41,071 --> 01:05:42,706
They made me nervous
just before the show,
1308
01:05:42,739 --> 01:05:45,542
but as soon as we got out there,
she lit up the whole crowd.
1309
01:05:45,575 --> 01:05:48,345
The moment she went
out there, thousands of people
1310
01:05:48,378 --> 01:05:51,248
in that audience,
they were going crazy.
1311
01:05:51,281 --> 01:05:54,451
- There is nothing like
the sound of 12,000 people
1312
01:05:54,484 --> 01:05:56,686
all singing at the top
of their lungs.
1313
01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:58,655
That is, like,
so stupendous
1314
01:05:58,688 --> 01:06:02,026
it's impossible
to kind of articulate.
1315
01:06:02,059 --> 01:06:05,495
- My aim is just to have a
fun time and make sure that,
1316
01:06:05,529 --> 01:06:10,267
you know, these kids go
away having a good time,
1317
01:06:10,300 --> 01:06:14,004
feeling good inside, feeling
like they were entertained.
1318
01:06:14,038 --> 01:06:17,107
Maybe they learned
something about who I am and
1319
01:06:17,141 --> 01:06:20,677
my music, or they were
inspired in a creative way.
1320
01:06:24,748 --> 01:06:26,683
- When it comes
to rocking fashion,
1321
01:06:26,716 --> 01:06:29,753
Katy's inimitable style
is celebrated almost
1322
01:06:29,786 --> 01:06:32,522
as much as the music itself.
1323
01:06:32,556 --> 01:06:34,758
- Katy is definitely
not a slave to fashion.
1324
01:06:34,791 --> 01:06:37,427
She completely creates
her own look.
1325
01:06:37,461 --> 01:06:39,763
In fact, I say she's a kind
of zeitgeist of fashion.
1326
01:06:39,796 --> 01:06:42,566
- Not many women could get
away with what she wears.
1327
01:06:42,599 --> 01:06:46,736
- She is like a kind of
kaleidoscope explosion
1328
01:06:46,770 --> 01:06:50,240
of color and
popular culture.
1329
01:06:50,274 --> 01:06:53,443
- She is completely that
showgirl with whipped cream
1330
01:06:53,477 --> 01:06:55,079
shooting out of her bosoms,
you know
1331
01:06:55,112 --> 01:06:56,413
That is Katy.
1332
01:06:56,446 --> 01:06:58,682
- Katy is often seen on
the front row of shows.
1333
01:06:58,715 --> 01:07:01,485
She has a huge relationship
with Chanel.
1334
01:07:01,518 --> 01:07:04,054
She is especially
close to Karl Lagerfeld
1335
01:07:04,088 --> 01:07:06,123
and always on his front row.
1336
01:07:06,156 --> 01:07:09,526
- I have been researching a
lot of the vintage Chanel.
1337
01:07:09,559 --> 01:07:13,497
Everywhere I go, I was just
in Berlin, I was just in London,
1338
01:07:13,530 --> 01:07:15,399
I always go to
the vintage stores
1339
01:07:15,432 --> 01:07:18,368
and ask for all, like,
the 1990s vintage Chanel
1340
01:07:18,402 --> 01:07:19,703
if you have it.
1341
01:07:19,736 --> 01:07:22,706
So I think that
the pieces that you buy
1342
01:07:22,739 --> 01:07:25,175
from Chanel only
appreciate in value.
1343
01:07:25,209 --> 01:07:26,776
It's kind of
like a man's watch.
1344
01:07:26,810 --> 01:07:29,679
- Her style is kind
of confusing and chaotic,
1345
01:07:29,713 --> 01:07:31,481
and it changes all the time.
1346
01:07:31,515 --> 01:07:35,252
- She uses style
to express herself,
1347
01:07:35,285 --> 01:07:38,488
and she uses it to cheer
herself up as well, you know.
1348
01:07:38,522 --> 01:07:41,825
When you're feeling down,
if you put on a crazy frock
1349
01:07:41,858 --> 01:07:43,393
that's got strawberries
all over it,
1350
01:07:43,427 --> 01:07:45,629
it's gonna make
you feel better.
1351
01:07:45,662 --> 01:07:48,098
- You know, when a girl
gets a new outfit,
1352
01:07:48,132 --> 01:07:52,369
it gives her this extra oomph.
1353
01:07:52,402 --> 01:07:56,440
And when I get a new outfit,
I usually wear it the same day
1354
01:07:56,473 --> 01:07:58,375
and I don't know what it is.
1355
01:07:58,408 --> 01:08:01,411
It's just like
that new dress makes you feel
1356
01:08:01,445 --> 01:08:03,780
fun and alive and vibrant.
1357
01:08:04,148 --> 01:08:06,416
Katy looks like
a Hollywood starlet
1358
01:08:06,450 --> 01:08:09,619
from the 1940s and she dresses
her curves in that way.
1359
01:08:09,653 --> 01:08:11,455
But also she's
very reminiscent to me
1360
01:08:11,488 --> 01:08:14,624
of Vivian Leigh and
Greta Garbo.
1361
01:08:14,658 --> 01:08:18,828
She says that the 1940s is
the best style of clothes on her
1362
01:08:18,862 --> 01:08:21,865
- She does the done up look
so well, and she kind of
1363
01:08:21,898 --> 01:08:24,668
has this bit of an
old school feel about her.
1364
01:08:24,701 --> 01:08:26,536
- It's a bit like
a Dita Von Teese look.
1365
01:08:26,570 --> 01:08:30,840
- She really bring that
50s look, the Dita Von Teese,
1366
01:08:30,874 --> 01:08:33,577
the pale skin and the flicky
eyelashes, you know.
1367
01:08:33,610 --> 01:08:36,746
A lot of girls are caught up
in the fake tan
1368
01:08:36,780 --> 01:08:39,916
and the very fake look,
whereas Katy, you know,
1369
01:08:39,949 --> 01:08:42,886
she's more natural and
she's got the pale skin.
1370
01:08:42,919 --> 01:08:45,555
She's more of like-- she's
almost like an English rose,
1371
01:08:45,589 --> 01:08:48,558
but she does like
the really precise makeup
1372
01:08:48,592 --> 01:08:50,294
and the 50s look.
1373
01:08:50,327 --> 01:08:52,629
- Her makeup is pretty heavy.
1374
01:08:52,662 --> 01:08:55,799
She hates to go bare faced.
1375
01:08:55,832 --> 01:08:59,403
- Her stage makeup takes
at least two hours to apply.
1376
01:08:59,436 --> 01:09:03,273
- It would take her roughly
about two hours to get ready,
1377
01:09:03,307 --> 01:09:04,908
but she'd get ready
for different things.
1378
01:09:04,941 --> 01:09:06,643
- Like she would normally
arrive to the venue
1379
01:09:06,676 --> 01:09:11,781
at about 4:00, and then
she'd sort of semi get ready,
1380
01:09:11,815 --> 01:09:13,717
like, sort of Katy Perry
light,
1381
01:09:13,750 --> 01:09:15,919
and wear a little body
con outfit.
1382
01:09:15,952 --> 01:09:17,721
And then she'd go and meet
a load of fans
1383
01:09:17,754 --> 01:09:19,956
and do a meet and greet
with them,
1384
01:09:19,989 --> 01:09:21,791
and then she'd go back
into her dressing room
1385
01:09:21,825 --> 01:09:24,461
and do the full-on
Katy Perry thing
1386
01:09:24,494 --> 01:09:27,497
and come out at about
7:00, Perry'd up.
1387
01:09:28,698 --> 01:09:30,900
- She does the brightly
colored costumes
1388
01:09:30,934 --> 01:09:33,303
and hair and
she's really pared that back,
1389
01:09:33,337 --> 01:09:34,871
and she's really
calmed it down.
1390
01:09:34,904 --> 01:09:36,806
I like now that
she's changed her look
1391
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:39,476
a little bit to become a
bit more sophisticated.
1392
01:09:39,509 --> 01:09:40,977
- She has definitely grown up,
1393
01:09:41,010 --> 01:09:44,748
and her style evolution
shows that as well.
1394
01:09:44,781 --> 01:09:48,385
She's a serious artist.
She's got nothing to prove.
1395
01:09:48,418 --> 01:09:52,956
She's successful
and she looks great.
1396
01:09:58,995 --> 01:10:02,299
- In December 2011,
a mere 14 months
1397
01:10:02,332 --> 01:10:04,734
after exchanging vows in India,
1398
01:10:04,768 --> 01:10:06,936
Russell Brand filed
for divorce
1399
01:10:06,970 --> 01:10:09,839
citing irreconcilable
differences.
1400
01:10:12,309 --> 01:10:13,910
- The news broke on
New Year's Day,
1401
01:10:13,943 --> 01:10:16,980
and you really felt for her
because you could tell
1402
01:10:17,013 --> 01:10:21,685
she was totally in love with him
and wanted to make it work.
1403
01:10:21,718 --> 01:10:23,587
- It all fell apart
because they just simply
1404
01:10:23,620 --> 01:10:25,822
came from such
very different worlds.
1405
01:10:25,855 --> 01:10:28,958
And then to add insult
to injury,
1406
01:10:28,992 --> 01:10:32,262
everyone discovered that
she was dumped by text.
1407
01:10:32,296 --> 01:10:36,633
- I was shocked, but he can
be quite a nasty person.
1408
01:10:36,666 --> 01:10:39,836
- That's not really a manly
thing to do though, is it?
1409
01:10:39,869 --> 01:10:42,272
- She found herself lying
on the bathroom floor
1410
01:10:42,306 --> 01:10:44,608
considering whether
to end it all.
1411
01:10:44,641 --> 01:10:47,644
Very callous and just awful.
Poor Katy.
1412
01:10:48,878 --> 01:10:51,315
- What that tells you at
a psychological level
1413
01:10:51,348 --> 01:10:54,451
is you think I was
only worth a text,
1414
01:10:54,484 --> 01:10:56,953
and that is
incredibly devastating.
1415
01:10:56,986 --> 01:11:00,757
So it's no surprise that
that breakup was so painful
1416
01:11:00,790 --> 01:11:02,659
for Katy in particular.
1417
01:11:03,493 --> 01:11:06,396
- I needed to do a lot
of self-reflection
1418
01:11:06,430 --> 01:11:09,299
because I went through
a difficult time in my life,
1419
01:11:09,333 --> 01:11:15,739
and so I needed to go inside
and do a lot of work
1420
01:11:15,772 --> 01:11:18,575
and therapy and mending.
1421
01:11:18,608 --> 01:11:23,780
I went through the transition,
and I did a cleanse for,
1422
01:11:23,813 --> 01:11:29,052
like, three months, a mind and
body and soul type of cleanse.
1423
01:11:29,085 --> 01:11:32,489
And it made my life
so much better
1424
01:11:32,522 --> 01:11:36,526
and gave me more perspective and
helped me live very consciously.
1425
01:11:39,696 --> 01:11:43,600
- In July 2012, Katy made
the leap to the big screen
1426
01:11:43,633 --> 01:11:47,070
when her biopic movie
"Part of Me" was released.
1427
01:11:47,103 --> 01:11:49,072
- I think it was important
for me to leave some of
1428
01:11:49,105 --> 01:11:51,841
the more difficult things
in the film so that
1429
01:11:51,875 --> 01:11:55,945
it wasn't just a
narcissistic fanfare film
about how great I am.
1430
01:11:55,979 --> 01:11:57,881
I think it was important
to show that there are
1431
01:11:57,914 --> 01:12:00,517
obstacles and problems
in people's lives,
1432
01:12:00,550 --> 01:12:04,421
and it's okay if you have them,
you just have to overcome them.
1433
01:12:07,891 --> 01:12:09,959
- Following the collapse
of her marriage,
1434
01:12:09,993 --> 01:12:12,796
Katy was ready to start
a new chapter.
1435
01:12:12,829 --> 01:12:16,400
In October 2012,
she found time to support
1436
01:12:16,433 --> 01:12:19,603
Barack Obama's
re-election campaign.
1437
01:12:19,636 --> 01:12:21,671
The following month,
Billboard announced
1438
01:12:21,705 --> 01:12:24,941
that she would take home
the Woman of the Year award.
1439
01:12:24,974 --> 01:12:27,444
The star also sat
the rumor mills buzzing
1440
01:12:27,477 --> 01:12:30,814
when she began dating
fellow musician, John Mayer.
1441
01:12:32,416 --> 01:12:34,618
- Your no one until
some lets you down.
1442
01:12:34,651 --> 01:12:36,119
We live in this time
right now where
1443
01:12:36,152 --> 01:12:39,889
everybody' expectations are
so astronomically high,
1444
01:12:39,923 --> 01:12:43,693
that everybody is
settling, quote unquote.
1445
01:12:43,727 --> 01:12:47,631
To be with anybody
is to settle,
1446
01:12:47,664 --> 01:12:52,101
because it really means settling
for not being by yourself.
1447
01:12:52,135 --> 01:12:55,071
- When I first heard that
Katy was dating John Mayer,
1448
01:12:55,104 --> 01:12:58,608
I just thought, oh, no,
not another one.
1449
01:12:58,642 --> 01:13:01,645
- He's got a bad reputation
for being a naughty boy.
1450
01:13:01,911 --> 01:13:04,781
- When you look at
the psychology of relationships,
1451
01:13:04,814 --> 01:13:08,785
the relationship post-divorce
is most likely to fail,
1452
01:13:08,818 --> 01:13:11,421
and that's because people
are obviously harboring
1453
01:13:11,455 --> 01:13:12,689
a lot of emotional baggage
1454
01:13:12,722 --> 01:13:14,624
and they haven't quite
dealt with it.
1455
01:13:14,658 --> 01:13:17,026
- So it's no surprise that
with Katy and John
1456
01:13:17,060 --> 01:13:20,063
you've got that sort of
start then stop then
1457
01:13:20,096 --> 01:13:22,198
start again relationship.
1458
01:13:22,231 --> 01:13:26,570
- I'm very monogamous,
and so once I decide
1459
01:13:26,603 --> 01:13:29,973
I'm going to like someone,
I like them for a long time.
1460
01:13:30,006 --> 01:13:33,577
And usually I don't do--
I don't--
1461
01:13:33,610 --> 01:13:35,912
usually I have not done dates.
1462
01:13:35,945 --> 01:13:39,148
I do a lot of,
like, communication,
1463
01:13:39,182 --> 01:13:42,051
talking, phone or email.
1464
01:13:43,687 --> 01:13:48,124
- 2013 brought a new chapter
of optimism to Katy's life.
1465
01:13:48,157 --> 01:13:51,060
Adding a further title to
her list of achievements,
1466
01:13:51,094 --> 01:13:52,829
the singer/songwriter
was appointed
1467
01:13:52,862 --> 01:13:55,198
as UNICEF's Goodwill Ambassador.
1468
01:13:56,199 --> 01:13:59,035
- I'm very excited
to take on this responsibility
1469
01:13:59,068 --> 01:14:02,105
and this role to be able
to take all the attention
1470
01:14:02,138 --> 01:14:05,008
that I have and all
the spotlight and shine it on
1471
01:14:05,041 --> 01:14:08,144
the children that
need to be illuminated
1472
01:14:08,177 --> 01:14:11,214
and highlighted and saved
and helped.
1473
01:14:11,247 --> 01:14:14,183
UNICEF in particular
was special to me
1474
01:14:14,217 --> 01:14:16,185
because I took a trip with them.
1475
01:14:16,219 --> 01:14:19,756
Whatever I decide to
do whether it's be a part
1476
01:14:19,789 --> 01:14:23,527
an organization or a brand
or anything I do,
1477
01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:25,995
it's because I've had
an experience with them.
1478
01:14:26,029 --> 01:14:29,933
I saw all these children
interacting with each other.
1479
01:14:29,966 --> 01:14:32,969
There is so much
love between them.
1480
01:14:33,002 --> 01:14:36,606
There is so much compassion,
and they don't have anything.
1481
01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:38,074
They don't have any
material possessions.
1482
01:14:38,107 --> 01:14:39,776
They don't have
any social status.
1483
01:14:39,809 --> 01:14:42,111
It's an unconditional love.
1484
01:14:42,145 --> 01:14:44,714
I want to wash my hands too.
1485
01:14:44,748 --> 01:14:48,117
I was really inspired to write
the song "Unconditionally,"
1486
01:14:48,151 --> 01:14:49,953
seeing these children
1487
01:14:49,986 --> 01:14:53,990
just have the currency of
love between them.
1488
01:14:57,594 --> 01:15:01,631
- After record-setting
success and personal loss,
1489
01:15:01,665 --> 01:15:05,068
in October 2013,
the multi-faceted star
1490
01:15:05,101 --> 01:15:08,972
struck back with the release
of her fourth album, "Prism."
1491
01:15:11,708 --> 01:15:15,111
- Well, the new record is a
very self-reflective record.
1492
01:15:15,144 --> 01:15:19,983
It's a record that was
influenced by me letting
1493
01:15:20,016 --> 01:15:23,086
a lot of positivity
into my life,
1494
01:15:23,119 --> 01:15:25,622
a lot of light into my life,
1495
01:15:25,655 --> 01:15:27,657
especially after
coming through
1496
01:15:27,691 --> 01:15:30,059
a dark period and
a dark time.
1497
01:15:30,093 --> 01:15:32,729
And so, you know,
I think the record covers
1498
01:15:32,762 --> 01:15:38,301
a lot of hope and a lot
of joy, a lot of strength.
1499
01:15:38,334 --> 01:15:40,637
Basically I called it
"Prism" because I let a lot
1500
01:15:40,670 --> 01:15:42,071
of light into my life.
1501
01:15:42,105 --> 01:15:43,206
It influenced all the songs
1502
01:15:43,239 --> 01:15:47,110
and now I get to beam it back
out into the listener.
1503
01:15:47,143 --> 01:15:49,646
So I feel very prismatic
and full of these
1504
01:15:49,679 --> 01:15:53,549
wonderful colors, and I just
kind of like to be a light.
1505
01:15:58,988 --> 01:16:04,060
- Katy Perry's rise to the top
is a true story of inspiration.
1506
01:16:04,093 --> 01:16:06,696
Whether touring the globe,
or launching
1507
01:16:06,730 --> 01:16:09,098
an out-of-this-world
fragrance,
1508
01:16:09,132 --> 01:16:13,236
the reigning queen of
pop continues to conquer.
1509
01:16:16,172 --> 01:16:20,677
- I'm going to be a crazy fruit
cat lady when I get older.
1510
01:16:20,710 --> 01:16:24,748
No husband, just 20 cats,
in my muumuu
1511
01:16:24,781 --> 01:16:27,116
that's brightly
covered in fruit.
1512
01:16:27,751 --> 01:16:30,887
- Katy Perry is one of
the greatest female artists of
1513
01:16:30,920 --> 01:16:33,122
the 21st century,
and ten years from now
1514
01:16:33,156 --> 01:16:36,359
her music will definitely
be around.
1515
01:16:36,392 --> 01:16:39,195
- Katy will be around as long
as she wants to be around,
1516
01:16:39,228 --> 01:16:42,365
but whether she wants to
or not, I'm not sure.
1517
01:16:42,398 --> 01:16:44,701
I think she really would
like the traditional
1518
01:16:44,734 --> 01:16:47,737
marriage and kids at
some point as well.
1519
01:16:48,938 --> 01:16:51,274
- She's forming a brand,
so we're just gonna see
1520
01:16:51,307 --> 01:16:54,243
a new kind of horizon
of Katy Perry.
1521
01:16:54,277 --> 01:16:57,180
Gone will be the kind
of dressing up as a snowman
1522
01:16:57,213 --> 01:17:01,718
on stage or having flashing
lights on a swimming costume.
1523
01:17:01,751 --> 01:17:04,854
It will be much more about
a screen goddess and a siren.
1524
01:17:04,888 --> 01:17:07,290
I think she will
take herself into that phase.
1525
01:17:07,323 --> 01:17:09,826
- I'd like to start
a small fashion line,
1526
01:17:09,859 --> 01:17:14,363
but very small,
I think, for now.
1527
01:17:14,397 --> 01:17:18,234
And I would like
to be a mom one day.
1528
01:17:18,267 --> 01:17:21,404
That's a challenge, I'm sure.
1529
01:17:21,437 --> 01:17:24,640
And I'd like to make
an acoustic record.
1530
01:17:26,109 --> 01:17:28,277
That would be a challenge.
1531
01:17:28,311 --> 01:17:32,816
- Katy's legacy will
be the bubblegum pop star
1532
01:17:32,849 --> 01:17:34,317
with a real heart.
1533
01:17:34,350 --> 01:17:37,887
- Her music will be her
legacy for years to come.
1534
01:17:37,921 --> 01:17:39,322
- How you doing, Times Square?
1535
01:17:39,355 --> 01:17:40,957
I'm not all great.
1536
01:17:40,990 --> 01:17:42,926
There might be moments
of greatness,
1537
01:17:42,959 --> 01:17:45,962
but they are very hard worked.
1538
01:17:53,469 --> 01:17:56,339
Thank you so much for
believing in my weirdness.
1539
