Katy told Apple Music, “When I was going through One of the Boys, which was, whoa, it was like, oh my God, hold on to this ride. And then Teenage Dream and Prism, my personal life was not really working. My professional life was working. And then when Witness shifted everything, it started to come more into balance and then Smile really solidified it. And now 143 is the celebration of feeling that wholeness, operating out of that wholeness, which is a space I’ve never written a record from. I’ve always written a record from defense or not feeling enough or trying to transmute my trauma, whatever that was, and to change it. I always say this is the biggest lie I think artists have ever been sold is that they have to stay in pain in order to create.”
