Katy Perry once said she likes connecting with people, hoping she had studied Anthropology

During an interview with Ross King in November 2024, Katy Perry was asked if performing on stage made her the most happy. She shared that she likes exploring the world, meeting new people, and immersing herself in different cultures.

She described herself as deeply curious and fascinated by human behavior, even joking that she might have studied anthropology. Her love for people and understanding what shapes them inspire her to learn more.

When King asked her about staying fit, she shared that her partner, Orlando Bloom, influenced her eating habits. She mentioned that he follows a healthy diet and exercises regularly, sometimes to the point of being too dedicated.

While Katy Perry said she appreciated staying active, she preferred activities that are less like traditional workouts. She enjoys swimming and dancing, unlike a routine gym session, since they ensure physical activity.

Katy Perry described touring as an opportunity to travel and connect with people from different backgrounds. While performing on stage is something she deeply enjoys, she also sees it as a rare space where people come together to share a sense of unity.

Discussing her spirituality, she explained that it continues to evolve as she actively seeks growth. She wants to fulfill her purpose, clear past karma, and contribute positively to humanity, mainly through her music. She hopes to inspire people to live their best lives and discover their joy.
