Katy Perry unmasks music industry ‘biggest lie'

Katy Perry is dropping truth bombs when she says that pain is not a driving force for creativity for an artist, sharing there are other sources for inspiration.

At the event of American Idol Top 10 Tastemaker, the Dark Horse hitmaker told Fox News, “I feel really happy and whole and loved, so that’s different for an artist because usually you’re writing songs out of pain.”

Noting, “Actually, you can be happy and have a life and have a family and still contribute really great things to the world, so it’s going to be, I think the music’s going to be reflective of that love and joy."
