    Katy Perry Becomes Human Maypole at EMAs

    Katy Perry turned herself into a human Maypole of sorts during a performance of her song Unconditionally during Sunday’s MTV European Music Awards in Amsterdam.

    The Roar singer joked with MTV ahead of the awards show about her upcoming performance.

    “It’s a challenging performance; it’s unlike any of the performances I’ve done before,” she said while on the EMAs red carpet. “It looks like I’m being abducted, basically … and also there’s a bit of a magic trick in it — I’m not getting sawed in half, I’ll do that later — I’ll be floating in space.”

    And she wasn’t kidding about any of it either. As dancers surrounded Perry, they wove banners around her as she rose to the ceiling. When what initially appeared to be robes were removed, she was wearing a sparkling ensemble with black reflective jewels. This coincided with the song’s bridge.

    Katy Perry teased her fans about the upcoming performance earlier on Sunday via Twitter.

    While Katy Perry walked away from the MTV EMAs a winner in the Best Female category, her real win came from the excitement her fans displayed during her unbelievable performance. Some took to Twitter following her rendition of Unconditionally, replete with her human Maypole act, to share their excitement.

    Congrats to Katy Perry on her EMAs win, and kudos to her for her inspiring act in Amsterdam.

  • Katy Perry Talks New Album and John Mayer

    Singer Katy Perry is speaking up about her latest and seemingly-vulnerable album Prism. Previously flowing through the rumor circuit was that one of the songs from the album, a song entitled “Unconditionally”, is about her on-and-off relationship with the infamous-for-being-difficult John Mayer.

    In the song, Perry croons about loving someone in spite of insecurities, dirty laundry, cracked-out-looking appearances on TV, and foul behavior. Ok, well maybe the last two concepts from that list were duly added, but we are talking about John Mayer here. And everybody knows that when it comes to dating John Mayer, word has it that he’s not as easy as his music.

    While folks are listening in and making their own endless judgements about the music, Perry herself has already spoken out about the album and gives insight into what fueled the making of the album and what Prism symbolizes for her: “I think what Prism is, is an evolution and a maturity. I think you can hear growth as a songwriter. I hope you can hear growth as a person,” stated Perry. “I am into different things. It is my most present album so far. I think I am living very consciously right now. I think I am very aware, more aware than I have ever been,” added Perry.

    However, Ms. Perry did confirm that her song was inspired by her relationship with Mayer to Entertainment Weekly, saying “‘Unconditionally’” was influenced by my boyfriend…. It’s just a simple message about loving someone and accepting them and kind of driving at you don’t have to be so self-conscious. You don’t have to fear, because essentially, everybody has their stuff.” Perry also added, “Everybody has their things and you’re never going to be perfect, and accepting that and understanding that, especially in a relationship. It makes for a real, genuine kind of love.”

  • Katy Perry Confirms Next Single as “Unconditionally”

    28-year-old pop sensation, Katy Perry is still beaming with the success of her new single, “Roar.” But what’s even more exciting is that the music superstar has recently announced what single will closely follow its mighty predecessor.

    Perry was recently featured as the Billboard cover story. In the article, you get a pretty hefty breakdown of her album, “PRISM.” In the article she also declared the beautiful ballad, “Unconditionally” will serve as the forthcoming album’s second hit single.

    The second single is due out on Tuesday, Oct. 22.

    Perry was one of the many starlets that performed at the recent iHeartRadio festival in Las Vegas. While there, she told MTV that, “It’s a love song and it’s different from ‘Roar’ — it’s not eighth-notey.”

    She also went on to talk about the universal appeal that she hopes the song will have with her fans.

    “And I think it’s a universal love song that everyone’s going to be able to relate to no matter the age, no matter male or female. It’s my favorite song off the record,” said Perry.

    “Roar” is still at No. 2 on this week’s Hot 100 chart, while album track and non-single “Dark Horse” (featuring Juicy J) debuted at No. 17 on the ranking.
