Everything should be half as fun as Katy Perry (photo gallery 1) / photo gallery 2) . The Santa Barbara-born singer-
songwriter broke away from her strict religious upbringing and has found her groove writing pop songs inspired by Freddie Mercury. In addition to a new album coming out this year, Perry will bring a little class (and possibly some Silly String) to Warped Tour this summer.
What’s been going on lately?
I’m just starting the New Year, you know. The stars are aligning for Katy Perry in 2008. I’ve been working on my record since I was eighteen years old. I’ve gone through two record labels and written between sixty-five and seventy songs, and now it’s ready to come out. It’s been a long trip. I’ve had lots of money, lost lots of money, but the record’s here and it’s the right one.
