Katy Perry Is Feeling Free In Steven Klein's Cover Story For W Magazine September 2017

Super talent Katy Perry sings in the shower, where she gets some of her best songwriting ideas, says the star of W Magazine's September 2017 cover story. It's a three-pronged creative energy, Perry explains about her songwriting idea. "From Transcendental Meditation, where I rest and kind of restart my mind. Or during a massage. Or showering. I always have my phone on standby when I hop out of the shower."

Katy Perry roars for W's September cover with the words: "I feel very free."

Perry is styled by Edward Enninful in his departure issue heading out for his new editor-in-chief position at British Vogue. Fashion photographer Steven Klein delivers a glam Perry wearing Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello, Miu Miu, Prada, Bottega Veneta, Tom Ford, and Brandon Maxwell. Model posing alongside American singer is Louis Bubko.

The pop superstar is thrilled with her short hair, describing it as transformational.

“Everything is more fun with short hair! I can just get up and go. I feel so liberated with this hair now. In general, I feel 360-degrees liberated—all around. Whether it’s politically, mentally, spiritually, sexually. I feel liberated from all the things that don’t serve me. I’m surrendering and embracing my 30s. You couldn’t give me anything to go back to my 20s. To get to this place, I had to do some much-needed work on my heart, soul, mind, and body. Since doing that, a lot of beautiful things started to bloom again.”
