It sounds like Katy Perry is expressing her feelings about her divorce from Russell Brand through her music. She explained:

“Well, my music is about get real f**king dark. I’ll be shoe-gazing. You’ll never see my face because my hair is in my face.”

And that, apparently, is by design: in no small part to protect herself against public scrutiny.

“If I decide to go out and get a coffee, and there’s a paparazzi up in my face … I can’t really think of any time when I wasn’t working that I ever overstepped that boundary and called them out or got into their game -because you can’t control that game once you do get into it.

“But I think it’s disgusting. What I wanted to be and who I am is a singer and a songwriter. I wanted to be onstage, and I wanted the world to hear my music. The product of that is fame and the disgusting celebrity that goes along with it.

“When I’m working, I’m all yours. But when I’m not working, stay the f**k away. That’s how it goes. So whoever made up the idea that everyone has the right to every bit of information about you because you’re famous … No one made that rule. It’s not a law.”

Very true!
