Hi, I'm Katy Perry and you're watching most requested Live
Ask Anything Chat. Big thank you to Romeo and iHeartRadio
for having me on the show tonight. My new album,
Smile is coming out so so soon, and I cannot
wait for you all to hear it. August twenty I'll
be answering some of your questions you submitted. There were very,
(00:23):
very many, but I just want to say that I
appreciate all the questions you sent in and all the
love and support I've received on my new music and album.
It's profoundly incredible that you guys still like me. Here
we go. Jack from Melbourne, Australia asks, I think this
(00:45):
is Jack, a Jack that I know. Actually, would you
consider doing a virtual concert after Smile is released? Yes?
I actually would at some point. Although I'm going to
have a baby cat and I will need to look
(01:07):
after that, after her, and until I can get my
footing back, I'm not sure I'll be able to dance
around too much or do a concert. But I think
that August twenty eighth isn't the end of Smile. It
is a full year of Smile and maybe even next year.
(01:34):
Katrina from Cambridge, UK how did you tell Orlando about
baby Cat. I actually was on a hike. Well, I
was about to go on a hike with my sister
and my friend Sophia, and I had just found out
and was a little bit in shock, because you just
(01:58):
are in shock that your body can do that and
that it's real and that it works. It's like science works.
And so I facetimed him before the hike and I
told him and he was really blown away. And I
think that's because he was in Prague shooting his show
(02:20):
and I couldn't keep the news. I couldn't like wait
till he got home or whatever, because I think it
was going to be months. And yeah, he had he had.
I think he had tears in his eyes. It was
very sweet. I have a picture of myself, well, my
sister took a picture of me telling the news or
something like that. Anyways, it's very sweet. I still got
(02:43):
the stick. Emily from Lake Elsoner California asks your album
Teenage Dream turns ten years old this month. What would
you say has been your biggest accomplishment since then? Well,
I guess it's how I don't know, I mean, how
do you define accomplishment? Let's go down the road of
(03:04):
career accomplishment, I would probably say playing the super Bowl
and not falling or having a wardrobe malfunction, because in
the rehearsals for the super Bowl all of that happened,
(03:25):
and I got to pack that show in with so
many songs and guest appearances by Missy Elliott and Lenny Kravitz,
and it still holds a record, which is fun. No
one cares, but it's fun. And yeah, I mean that's
(03:46):
kind of like the ceiling of being an artist as
far as live shows go. But I'm always so proud
of the big tours that I get to put on
and showing up to them every single one of the shows. Typically,
I'm not a cancelor or a rescheduler. I just show
(04:07):
up even if I have a gold which I won't
do in the future, but you know what I'm saying,
I will still show up. But you know what I'm saying,
I can't win this one. Crystal from Thomasville, Georgia. In Daisies,
you refer to hopes in a box in the attic.
(04:28):
What hopes had you put away? If any, and if so,
have they been rediscovered, renewed, pursued or postponed thanks twenty twenty. Yes,
I have one box in the attic still, well, it's
not really in the attic, it's just kind of waiting.
(04:49):
It's I want to go to school. I want to
pursue a higher education, which I put off my whole
life because I I discovered that I was a singer
at nine years old, and that was what I was
meant to do. So I was off to the races.
So everything else I was really distracted. I was too
(05:11):
distracted by all of you know, trying to make it
and put out music to focus on anything, on any
type of education. I'm surprised I can actually complete sentences.
But I have taught myself well and had an incredible
(05:32):
education by being able to visit so many different places
in the world. That has really, you know, that has
really steered me and educated me in a way that
I couldn't probably get from books. But books are important.
So yes, I would love to go to school on
(05:58):
my own time, you know, with my own calendar, and
pursue different subjects like philosophy and psychology and yeah, just
use my mind a little bit more. Lou from Omaha,
Nebraska says, can you please tell us one, just one
(06:21):
collaborator on your album? Why would I do that? Just kidding.
There are so many different things coming out August twenty eighth,
and I'm excited for you to enjoy all of them.
And I hope I'm enough. That's all. Just hope I'm enough.
(06:44):
Abian from Boston, Massachusetts asks what have you learned from
your nieces and soon to be a step son about
children that will help you in raising your daughter. I
have learned that after about three or four with the girls,
(07:04):
you can no longer tell them what they want to wear.
They will dress themselves, So there goes all of my
styling and dreams and outfits. She probably will hate color
you want to wear black, which is my worst VI bear,
(07:24):
No it's not, But you know, so I know that
so far. I also know that they're just so innocent
and beautiful and that I am reinspired by life through
their eyes and it has helped me become more maternal,
(07:46):
seeing the beauty of life through children's eyes. So I guess,
you know, just having a playfulness, a continual playfulness, will
be really helpful in raising the little bean. But you know,
(08:07):
I have ideas. I'm sure there'll be a lot of
surprises along the way. I think I'm gonna go with
the flower. I'm pretty adaptable, pretty malleable, So I hope
that helps in raising a child. Faith from Atlanta, Georgia
asks what my favorite flower is? Well, I love the
(08:32):
line that Meg Ryan says and you got mail. I
think it's in that movie. Did you know that daisies
are the friendliest flower? I just love simple and sweet
and strong, and you know I love that. I don't know, yeah,
(08:56):
maybe that one a daisy is a favorite. Thanks again
for watching my most requested live Ask Anything chat, and
thanks to Romeo for his support. My new album, Smile,
comes out August twenty eight. Stay safe and healthy, and
don't forget to Smile.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
