Katy Perry talks about her battle with depression, her love for fiancé Orlando Bloom, and more in a new interview with Vogue India.
The 35-year-old insists she’s in a good place now but tells the mag things were different in 2017 and 2018.
Perry shares, “I became depressed and I did not want to get out of bed. In the past, I had been able to overcome it but this time something happened that made me fall down too many flights of stairs. I had to really go on a mental health journey.”

She adds of the need to talk about mental health, “We talk about all our different organs but never talk about out brain, which keeps us functioning the most.”
Perry also gushes over Bloom, revealing the couple are perfect for one another. They got engaged on Valentine’s Day.

The singer says, “Love is different from dating. You date in your 20s. Love is partnership, friendship, truth, and being an absolute mirror to someone.
“Orlando is like a sage. When we first met, he said we would pull the poison out of each other, and we really do. It’s exhausting but we really hold each other accountable.
“I’ve never had a partner who was willing to go on an emotional and spiritual journey like Orlando. It’s challenging because you’re facing all the things you don’t like about yourself. It’s like a never-ending cleanse.”
Perry adds of her ups and downs, “I’ve gone to therapy, been through the Hoffman Process, done plant medicine… And I have a partner who is also all about finding a balance—Orlando, who is on a spiritual journey of his own. He’s an anchor who holds me down, and he’s very real. He’s not the number 1 fan of Katy Perry but he’s the number 1 fan of Katheryn Hudson.”
