She travels the world performing at sell-out venues, dates tattooed men who you could sort of say are a bit rocky, and she sometimes plays guitar. Oh, and the only McDonald’s she’s grabbing is from the Jeremy Scott for Moschino range.
But that doesn’t mean that Katy Perry thinks she’s a rock star, oh no. Because the real rock stars of this world are mums, the women who have pushed entire babies out of themselves.
‘It’s insane, like, birth and women giving birth, whenever I see moms walking down the street I’m like, “Damn, you’re a rock star, you’re the real rock star, you did something incredible.”’ She told Australian radio show Fox FM, according to 3am.
The singer, who helped her sister Angela Hudson give birth last week, continued, ‘My sister had a baby in her living room – very naturally, not one Advil. I was there, kind of being an assistant doula and saw everything.’
So, if her sister is a rock star, does that mean Katy’s an assistant doula now? Nope, she’s actually a film director, as she took footage of the entire home birth. ‘I was kind of like Martin Scorsese with my iPhone, I have the whole thing. It was like a water birth, the whole thing. We were, like, the child is swimming through the water. It’s crazy.’
How much Katy could help while she was getting the right angles of the baby crowning is beyond us, but then again we really don’t like to dwell on childbirth because the prospect is genuinely more terrifying than the thought of having an excitable Katy Perry pointing her iPhone at our vaginas.
