They're more than right, yes. These are not cookies in my belly."


"Never Worn White" finds Perry belting her heart out about saying "I do" to the man she loves: her fiancé, Orlando Bloom. It doesn't seem like a particularly easy one to sing live, yet KP effortlessly hit those high notes throughout her first efficiency of the romantic ballad. With a pianist and string quartet backing her, she glowed in a coral gown while crooning, "Love is a minefield, let's take this war, baby / 'Cause at the end of it all, I pick and you also pick me."


When asked about her new album, Perry remained mum on any concrete specifics although hinted at more new music in the coming months. "I've been sort of casually working on a record for a couple years," she said. "It's been a wild, wild ride, and it's all new to peak. And let's just mention it's going to be a jam-packed summer."


Elsewhere in the interview, Perry discussed about her plans to balance motherhood and music, and dished about how "Never Worn White" was inspired by her relationship with Bloom.


"I thought that this song could be a really good first begin for this next time in my life," she mentioned, "to set the tone and to really talk about the vulnerability of commitment, and some days how astonishing it is, however also how terrifying it might be. As well as a lot of stuff does bubble up once you're about to do that big number. The perfect way I know how to communicate is through music."
