"If she is able to speak with the soul in waiting the conversation would probably include "are [you] sure you wanna pick these wild group?!""

The singer also added that her late granny might have had a glass of her favorite blush wine ready when she arrived at the afterlife, and also had her most fashionable look on.

Katy also said that she is what she is today mainly because of her father, who is what he is because of her grandma, adding that Ann started it all and that she [Katy] was grateful that Ann did.

The "Fireworks" singer also revealed that she always carried Tobacco Sauce with her wherever she went.

Katy Perry announced to the world that she was pregnant on Wednesday, March 4, 2020. Since the announcement, there has been lots of attention towards the singer from her fans, and she is also keeping them updated on happenings around her.

One thing women face during pregnancy is cravings for some particular food types, and Katy Perry is not exempted from that but is embracing it publicly.

In an Instagram Live video, the singer reassured her fans that her cravings take many different forms at around the sixth month of pregnancy.

However, it isn't everything Katy craves for, as she has also grown aversed to some other things, with red meat, in particular, making her feel gross.
