Katy Perry addresses the "biggest lie" artists are told
Katy Perry says the biggest lie that any artist has been sold is that you have to stay in pain in order to be a great creator.
Katy Perry has been singing professionally since 2001.
With over twenty years experience in the industry, the American singer and songwriter has been exposed to so many things.
She told Fox News at the 'American Idol' Top 10 Tastemaker Event which was held at the Aster Hotel in Hollywood on Monday that she is grateful that she is loved and she also shared what she believes is the biggest lie artists are told within the music industry.
"I feel really happy and whole and loved, so that’s different for an artist because usually you’re writing songs out of pain. But I actually think that’s kind of the biggest lie that any artist has been sold, is that you have to stay in pain in order to be a great creator," she told the publication.
She went on to debunk the myth.
"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," she added.

The singer, who welcomed Daisy with fiancé Orlando Bloom in August 2020, also spoke about having to balance the fame and being a mother.
"The challenge is the balance of it, finding balance being a matriarch, being a mother, being a boss, being an artist, being a creator, being a leader. The opportunity is there to find that balance," she told the publication.
She also spoke about how motherhood changed her.
"And the rewarding [part] is just the love, the unconditional love that everybody talks about. It's a massive cliché, but that is actually it. Like you climb all these mountains to see the view, and you think that that’s the view that you’re looking for. And honestly, for me, it’s not until I had my child that I realized, actually this is the view I’ve been looking for."
