Katy Perry has spoken about her admiration for Madonna in a new interview, saying the Queen of Pop “knows exactly what she’s doing” and leaves nothing to chance.
The Dark Horse star recently teamed up with the #unapologeticbitch singer for a joint photo shoot, and the pair are now gracing the cover of US fashion title VMag together.
“I admire Madonna incredibly because, you know, at the age that she is, I think she’s still very relevant,” Perry said in an interview with BBC Radio 1′s Nick Grimshaw this morning (May 30).
“Looking at her whole decades of work, it’s not a fluke that she’s been around for as long as she’s been. She’s very, very smart.”
Continuing, Perry said of La Ciccone: “She’s got that zeitgeist; she’s highly intuitive. I think highly intuitive people that are observers and take from that observing and put it in their music have the chance to stay around. But I think she knows exactly what she’s doing. Nothing’s by chance with her.”
Discussing what it was like working with Madonna on their recent photo shoot, Perry said: “She was super kind to me and showed me a whole other layer that I didn’t know. She’s spiritual and dope and intelligent, you know.”
Perry also said that Madonna, who is known for her record-breaking world tours, has given her tips about taking care of herself while on the road.
“She’s given me really great, like, health advice,” Perry said. “I asked her about that, and we had a whole conversation about how to withstand such rigorous tour schedules. She gave me some numbers of some healers and crystals and stuff like that.”
Earlier this year Perry spent a month guest-curating Madonna’s Art For Freedom initiative, and among Perry’s selections were a series of videos spotlighting the violence and discrimination currently faced by LGBT people in Russia.

The Making of Madonna’s First Album Cover

Carin Goldberg — the art director behind Madonna’s debut album cover — spoke to  the Cut  about her first experience with the then-unknown pop star. It’s the first question that anybody asks me, even today: What was it like to work with Madonna? People think that maybe something dramatic or interesting or kind of wild might have happened, based on, you know, Madonna’s persona. But I would say that Madonna was probably the easiest job I ever had — the most cooperation from a recording artist I think I ever had. She was a true professional, even at that young age. It was ’83, and at that point I had my own small design firm. Warner Bros. called and asked me to do her cover as a freelance designer. When I got the call, I rolled my eyes, because it was another [musician with a] one-word name. At that time it had become cliché to have a one-word name, because of Cher, so I remember thinking, God, it’s going to be one of those. So I really went into it with very little expec...
