Pop singer Katy Perry is going through one of those weird periods where you revisit your last major relationship, one would think, if her recent interviews are any indication .
Recently, Katy Perry spoke about her upcoming concert documentary Part of Me , named for the song of the same moniker, and one that is widely believed to be about Brand, written in the wake of their divorce. In a recent chat, Perry reveals she cried over the split but would not elaborate.
Now, Perry suggests that the split came because Brand — who is a massive star in his own right — envied her success and was “weird” about her career.
Speaking of the split in another recent interview, Katy Perry explains :
“I thought to myself, ‘When I find that person that’s going to be my life partner, I won’t ever have to choose [between the partner and my career] …they won’t be threatened or have weird motives.’ Then I started to realize, that’s not true.
“I have that same belief system with everything, from career to my life to my personal life, everything. And I will do everything it takes to not fail. And I did everything it took, but it still failed.”
But, Perry says, she still doesn’t regret marrying Brand. She muses:
“Everybody asks me if I regret something, they ask me if it’s going to be that one moment [her marriage]… Actually it’s really a lesson learned and it’s super valuable, I could not buy this lesson. And I apply it to my life, I learn and a lot of the time, I get really good material for my songs.”
Brand has not commented on any of Katy Perry’s recent remarks.
