There's no denying Katy Perry is one of the biggest pop stars on the planet! After over a decade in the business, Katy is showing no signs of slowing down, dropping her brand new single 'When I'm Gone' with Swedish DJ Alesso, AND having her very own residency in Las Vegas.

Despite her insanely busy schedule, KISS Breakfast's Harriet Rose was able to catch up with the superstar immediately after she finished her sixth show in the Resorts World Theatre out in Vegas.

Looking fabulous as ever, Katy appeared via video link, where she told us about her epic show, her new single, and what really happens in Vegas!

Check out Harriet Rose's full chat with Katy Perry below:

Despite giving us a glimpse into her previous lifestyle in 2008 track 'Waking Up In Vegas', it sounds like Katy's life is a lot different these days, now she's a mum to her adorable daughter Daisy Dove Bloom.

Speaking to Harriet, Katy revealed she often goes straight home back to Los Angeles following her show, saying: "Usually I'm flying back home because they key to surviving in Vegas is not staying in Vegas"

Admitting it's how she avoids creating the iconic Hangover movies, Katy added: "I did all of that in my 20s and I'm so glad that camera phones were not as prolific back then because there would be some dark times on the Internet."

Getting serious for a moment and knowing that 2021 wasn't the best of years, Harriet asked Katy what she'd like to flush away from last year, in tribute to her ICONIC new toilet set at her Vegas show.

Katy said: "What I would like to flush down the toilet is the extremism and the fearmongering, and I'd just like to bring back some common sense."

However, after being spotted kissing at Ed Sheeran's concert back in August that year, it looked as though things were seriously back on, and Katy said on This Morning Mashup, "Well, you know, I think people are in and out of your life. It's nice to keep people you love around you."
Thankfully, Katy confirmed the pair were back together in April 2018, and they both announced their engagement on Valentine's Day 2019 in a series of adorable Instagram posts.
