In a candid conversation with Zane Lowe on Apple Music, Katy Perry opened up about her evolution as both an artist and a person, reflecting on her early career while discussing her new album, 143. Katy touched on a range of topics, from motherhood to the importance of staying true to herself, as well as how her relationship with her fans has deepened over the years. One of the more introspective moments came when she spoke about her debut album, Katy Hudson, released in 2001.

“Katy Hudson came from a very genuine and endearing place,” Katy said, recalling the mindset she had when she released the Christian rock album under her birth name. “I still thought that heaven and hell were actual places and not in your mind. I had a lot of different beliefs at the time, I didn’t have the awareness.” Katy acknowledged that while she considers the album part of her journey, it’s not something she would revisit in her live performances. “I still count it as my album because I wrote it, but it’s not something that I would ever play live,” she shared.
Katy Hudson was released when the pop star was just 16, reflecting a very different phase of her life—one deeply influenced by religious beliefs that shaped her worldview at the time. However, as she explained to Lowe, her perspective has shifted dramatically over the years due to both personal growth and professional experiences.
In the wide-ranging interview, Katy also discussed the creative process behind 143, which explores themes of empowerment, love, and resilience, drawing from her experiences as a mother and partner. She emphasized the importance of continuing to create music that resonates with her personal truth while also honoring the fans who have supported her throughout her 15-year journey in the music industry.
