Katy Perry Believes In Herself

Katy Perry talks about the difficult time she’s had trying to make it.

Her latest album “One of the Boys” dropped earlier this month and her single “I Kissed a Girl” is doing so well, she recalls on how difficult the road to success has been.

She says:

“I’ve been on three major labels, signed and dropped, signed and dropped. There were times I lost hope in ever believing anything that any record label person ever told me.

The last time her album didn’t get released, she almost gave up, succumbing to singing back-up vocals for Miley Cyrus and borrowing money from her parents just to make ends meet.

She tells EW.com,

It turned into a situation, where, for years, I was telling my friends that I was going to have a record out… and then it wouldn’t happen. They stopped believing in me. I was pretty much a joke.

Maybe a week before my record was coming out, I kind of went into that state of shock, like, ‘Oh, my God, they totally called my bluff! It’s coming!’”
