Katy Perry Covers 'Vogue,' Talks Election, Fashion & More

Katy Perry rocks a Comme des Garçons look for the cover of Vogue‘s May 2017 issue.

Here’s what the 32-year-old entertainer had to share with the mag:

On fashion: “Fashion is just a language. It’s storytelling. I am so encouraged by the big morph in fashion that’s happening at the moment. Everybody is shape-shifting, changing, adapting.”

On growing up: “[I was not] allowed to interact with gay people…there is some generational racism. But I came out of the womb asking questions, curious from day one, and I am really grateful for that: My curiosity has led me here. Anything I don’t understand, I will just ask questions about.”

On life post-election: “I was really disheartened for a while; it just brought up a lot of trauma for me. Misogyny and sexism were in my childhood: I have an issue with suppressive males and not being seen as equal. I felt like a little kid again being faced with a scary, controlling guy.”
