KATY Perry may not be casting her vote for Kanye West in the 2020 presidential election.
However, she insists she loves him and is “amazing” as an “artist.”
Katy told Hits Radio Breakfast: “What we’ve learned looking back is that the presidential job is best suited for someone with experience and that is a pro in their field,”
“I think we have seen and learned from experience that when we don’t have pros in position, that it can get a little wild.”
“I love Kanye, he is amazing. I just, you know, I love him as an artist. And I think he’s an incredible disruptor as an artist and a conversation-maker as an artist. And that’s what I love the most about him.”
Katy also talked to the radio show about preparing to welcome her first child, a daughter, with her fiance Orlando Bloom saying: “The good thing is that he has a kid that’s nine. And he’s been through it.
“So when we were going to pick out strollers, he knew exactly the stroller. And some of the strollers are very chic, they’ve got leather handles and blah, blah, blah.”
She went on: “And I was like really drawn to them, right? And he’s like ‘No, let me show you what the stroller is. It’s this one that you pick up in the middle and it collapses and it’s like “Bang, bang”, it’s like an umbrella”‘.
“I was like ‘Oh my God, I’m so grateful that you know this, because I would have gotten some, you know, large hunky thing’ and that is avoidable because he’s already had a test run so, I’m grateful for that.
“It was very cute, like he was a famous person who’s like ‘Here’s how you do it, you just pick it up from the middle and you just go ‘Wham.'” I’m like ‘I’m so turned on right now!'”
Katy’s expected to give birth sometime this summer.
Her sixth album is also expected to drop in August.
This is the second child for Katy’s fiance, Orlando Bloom, who has a 9-year-old son named Flynn from his ex-wife, Miranda Kerr.
Katy said Orlando is very excited for his first daughter: “He’s really excited for a little girl.
“They say that little girls are, you know, daddy’s little girl!
“That’s how it’s gonna be, we’ll see!”
