Katy Perry has been revealed as one of the featured personalities in Variety’s Power of Womеn issue, alongside fellow singer Lorde and poet Amanda Gorman. In the interview that accompanies her cover, Katy discussed various aspects of her highly successful career and her first year as a mother.

One notable topic in the conversation was Katy’s Grammy record, despite her more than a decade-long career and nine No. 1 hits. Katy, who has been nominated 13 times before, stated, “No, I’ve been nominated 13 times before. 

To be honest, I always go by numbers, and they don’t lie. And I’m good with that.” She emphasized the importance of factual achievements, stating, “Everyone has an opinion and that’s wonderful, but numbers are numbers. Math is sacred.”

When asked about what makes her feel powerful, Katy pointed beyond career achievements, emphasizing her self-image and day-to-day mеntal well-being. She remarked, “It’s not necessarily any of my achievements on paper. It’s just my day-to-day mеntal health and making sure that I’m happy.”

Throughout the interview, it became evident that Katy’s primary focus at the moment is motherhood and her one-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove. Reflecting on the experience, she shared, “I never really truly knew about unconditional love… until I had my child.

 And that was just a whole ‘nother level.” Despite her devotion to motherhood, Katy is not slowing down in her career pursuits. Besides working on new music, she is eagerly anticipating the launch of her Las Vegas residency, Play, later this year. 

Describing the show, she said, “It is literally larger than life. Think: Supеr Bowl, but supersized.
