She described being next to Lady Gaga, another famous Clinton supporter, on election night, and holding hands with the singer.

The performers, both of whom supported Hillary throughout her campaign, were in attendance at the Javits Convention Center in New York City on election night when they got news that Trump had won.

"Every day when I think I know something, the universe shows me that I need to learn another lesson", the global pop star told The New York Times in a revealing profile.

"I didn't kill her, because I love her, and she is exactly what I had to do then", says Perry of the persona she took on during her hugely successful "Teenage Dream" period.

"They're constructs", she added, explaining that they don't represent the audience. "I was retriggered by a big male that didn't see women as equal".

During the interview, Perry also revealed that she had not had an alcoholic drink since January.

Katy Perry wants you to know that she isn't afraid of change.

Katy Perry is embracing a new, more transparent version of herself - and in the process, slamming a key part of her industry.

'I feel very empowered, extremely liberated, liberated from the conditioning of the way I used to think, spiritually liberated, politically liberated, sexually liberated, liberated from things that don't serve me, ' the Chained to the Rhythm artist said.

Pop star Katy Perry has credited the 2016 US presidential election with helping her resolve sexual issues stemming from her childhood.

"I went to that dark place that I had been avoiding, and I dug out the mold", she said. She added: "I hide behind my wig, while she is out there taking bullets for the rest of us".

'I'm not a con artist, I didn't con people, like, that was just me, ' Perry said.
