You might not hear Katy Perry roar for a little while.
The pop star says she’s taking a break from making music after releasing her fifth studio album last year and completing her latest drawn-out world tour over the summer.
“I’ve been on the road for like 10 years, so I’m just going to chill,” Perry told Footwear News. “I’m not going to go straight into making another record. I feel like I’ve done a lot. I feel like I’ve rung the bell of being a pop star very loudly, and I’m very grateful for that.”
Perry, 33, has taken on a number of different ventures beyond songwriting and performing in recent years, including starring as a judge on “American Idol” and working on her Katy Perry Collections shoe line. The “Roar” singer also notes she’s made it a point recently to focus on her mental well-being.
“I’ve done a lot of work lately in the past year on my mental health, on my spiritual and emotional side,” she told the outlet. “Now I’ve been trying to find the balance and not overindulging, just trying to stay grounded. My sister lives right next door to me, and my family is not really fazed by anything.
