On an episode of Chelsea Handlers podcast Dear Chelsea, Katy Perry revealed that shes been living in Kentucky for several weeks and she likes it!
Her partner Orlando Bloom is filming a major movie in Kentucky less than an hour east of Louisville called Red Right Hand.
Perry told Handler, Im living in Kentucky and I have for almost a month now, and thats quite a[n] amazing experience, because it reminds you that Hollywood is not America. We need to remember that, because I think we can understand people better.
Handler replies, Its nice to get outside of what you know to be normal and your reality.
Perry agrees, Yeah. I mean, theyre living in a bubble of sorts; were living in a bubble; our bubbles are completely the opposite, but theyre yeah, its interesting. Its a study.
As Handler mentions, Perry also went from the bubble of growing up very religious to the bubble of Hollywood. (In fact, Perry was a Christian artist before she became a pop star.) Perry says her experiences have been an anthropology study of humans.
While this is Perrys first time living in Kentucky, Bloom has stayed here long term before when he was filming the 2004 romantic comedy Elizabethtown in and around Louisville.
You can listen to the “Dear Chelsea” episode, in which Perry and Handler talk about travel, maternal instincts, drugs and more, at this link. The part where Perry talks about Kentucky starts around 15:40.
Handler performed her show, Vaccinated and Horny, at the Louisville Palace last month.
Perry is currently a judge on American Idol, where Kentuckian contestant Noah Thompson recently advanced to the Top 3.
Editor’s Note: A previous version of this story incorrectly referred to Orlando Bloom as Katy Perry’s husband. They are engaged.
