The amazing Katy Perry joined us on Hits Radio Breakfast to talk about her new song and album 'Smile', baby names, Kanye West running for President and a Zoom call she had with Tiger King's Carole Baskin.

Yes, you read that right, Katy Perry, who is a massive fan of Netflix's Tiger King, was on a Zoom call with Carole Baskin and told us all about it.

"I got to do a really fun Zoom with her and some other people," Katy explained, "And yeah, it was interesting!

"That (Tiger King) was what all of April was about right?" Katy continued.

Talking about the Zoom call, Katy said, "It was interesting, I didn't get to stay on the whole Zoom, but the people on the Zoom starting asking her very investigative questions, but you know, we asked her how she felt about the edit, because people make characters out of anyone in an edit. Like you can make a villain or a hero out of all the footage you have of people."

Katy went on to say that overall she was "really nice" and unsurprisingly a big fan of Katy's 2013 hit 'Roar'.

The mum-to-be's brand new song 'Smile' is out now and also features on her new album due out next month. You can hear songs by Katy Perry on Hits Radio.
