Although the singer never envisioned herself as a role model, she acknowledged her responsibility to impressionable fans.
As it turns out, Perry’s childhood was pretty unconventional.
“A lot of religions use meditation or chanting,” she said.
“It’s a secret, direct prayer language to God.
My dad speaks in tongues and my mom interprets it.
That’s their gift.”
Elsewhere, “‘devilled’ eggs were called ‘angeled’ eggs,” she recalled.
Perry wasn’t allowed to interact with the LGBTQ+ community or even those of different races.
That was my whole childhood and youth and early teens."
The whole family picketed concerts from Madonna toMarilyn Mansonfor their supposed satanic influences.
However, the singer remains close with her parents, despite their ideological differences.
