In May 2017, the "Fireworks" singer changed her hair again and teased a stunning pixie cut. Katy Perry, who regularly opens up to fans about her life, eventually revealed the real reason behind her haircuts. In a raw and emotional appearance on Viceland series "The Therapist," she admitted that the constant switch-up was an attempt at grounding herself and figuring out the real her.
"I'm really strong as Katy Perry and then sometimes I'm not as strong as Katheryn Hudson," she admitted (via Insider). "People like talk about my hair, right? They don't like it or they wish that it was longer. I so badly want to be Katheryn Hudson that I don't even want to look like Katy Perry anymore sometimes."
She also shared the mental and emotional costs of her onstage persona, and how her new look was a way of catching her breath and processing her emotions in a healthy way (via Insider). Perry's used her hair evolution to connect with her fans beyond the music. Long or short, bubblegum pink or platinum blond, she isn't defined by her hair and will always be celebrated for being her authentic self.
