“Fantastic! And I haven’t shaved my head yet,” Perry said jokingly.

Katy Perry’s insensitive remarks regarding Britney Spears’ mental health came only moments after she spoke out about her new album and how enlightened she feels now.
“I’m so proud of it,” she said. “I think it’s a new era of me. I call it an era of purposeful thought. All of my songs have always had layers to them. I used to be kind of the queen of innuendos and I woke up and educated myself more and I think I’m maybe more than queen of subtext and I think it’s a song that starts conversations.”
