When one of the world’s biggest pop stars is on the line, you don’t expect her to start asking about your pregnancy cravings. But Katy Perry is no ordinary diva, as music editor Sarah Smith discovers in this candid interview.
In the latest edition, Katy opens up about navigating through dark times and learning to smile again – ahead of a new album and new baby.
“A lot of Smile is about growing through that pain. And now, obviously, I’m hopeful [about the new record], but I think I’m not putting everything of my worth into this basket,” she tells The Big Issue. “I think that this journey is about getting my smile back and getting my playfulness back and getting that purity back.”
