Katy Perry On New Music Hiatus: ‘I’ve Done Enough’ – Here’s Why!


Singer Katy Perry is apparently going to leave her fans and followers on the hook a little while longer when it comes to releasing new music.

In an interview with Hollywood Life, the 30-year-old singer discussed the reasons behind her extended hiatus. According to the report, it’s not necessarily that Katy Perry is not interested in returning to the studio.

On the contrary, she still has a hectic touring schedule promoting her fourth studio album, Prism.

“I’m still on tour so when I get off tour is when I will start to refocus. I have been on the road for almost a year and I am tired. I have done enough! I have done one-hundred-and-forty-one shows and I have ten more shows in South America so that is what I am looking forward to right now.”

The fact that the Prismatic World Tour, a tour which started back in May of last year, is still going strong over a year later is impressive. It also speaks volumes about Katy Perry’s international popularity and the overall success of her last studio album.

Keep in mind that her packed touring schedule was the not the only major highlight of Katy’s career over the past year. Her record-breaking Super Bowl halftime performance back in February drew in a bigger crowd of viewers than ever before – 121 million.

During an interview with Rolling Stone, Perry had the chance to talk about the exhausting amount of work behind-the-scenes that took place long before the big game.

“We got to prepare for a whole month. Before I stepped on that stage last Sunday at the Super Bowl I had done it over 40 times, so it was almost like I was so used to it — that’s why people were saying that I looked so relaxed… I over-prepared myself and did a lot of prayer and meditation.”

To remain cool and calm, Katy Perry even decided to refuse watching any of the actual game until it was over.

Even though the “Dark Horse” singer may not be heading into the studio anytime soon, she reportedly has big plans for her recording comeback.

According to Hollywood Life, an insider claims that Katy Perry has her sights set on outdoing Taylor Swift next year.

“More than anything, Katy wants to make the world forget about Taylor. Everywhere she looks, people are talking about Taylor and it makes Katy nauseous. She wants to outsell and outshine Taylor in 2016.”

Chances are that, whenever Katy Perry decides to “refocus” on creating new music, her millions of fans and followers around the world will not be disappointed.
