'I'm not a con artist, I didn't con people': Katy Perry says she's evolved in her image and career
Katy Perry continues to make revelations at a breakneck pace as she promotes her latest album, Witness.
The 32-year-old songstress on Wednesday opened up to The New York Times about how she's evolved from the pop queen behind top 40 hits such as I Kissed A Girl and Hot N Cold to a deeper, more nuanced artist - to the chagrin of some.
'They want you to stand for something, but once you do, and if you don't do it perfectly, they're ready to take you right down,' Perry told the newspaper.
The Swish Swish singer said she 'didn't kill' off her former image, because she loves that identity, and it was 'exactly what' she had to do at the time.
'I'm not a con artist, I didn't con people, like, that was just me,' Perry said. 'And this is me now ... it's a departure, and it's a necessary evolution that I have to take.'
Perry said she's resistant to those who think she should continue down the pop path without any regards to growing as an artist.
