What does it means to be the biggest pop star on the planet in 2013?
In
this week’s cover story, Katy Perry gave EW an all-access pass to her
crazy world (spoiler alert: we saw her boobs), as we spent a week
criss-crossing the globe with her from L.A. to London, Berlin, and New
York.
“You’re gonna see all different kinds of things,” Perry warned in
L.A. at the outset of our trip. And she wasn’t kidding: Closing out the
mammoth iTunes Festival. Sipping champagne with a giant German gentleman
with bedazzled eyebrows named Bubbles (he’s a member of the superfan
contingent known as Katycats). Late-night tea in a London hotel lobby
with a rock icon. Twitter accounts named after her breasts.
Near-constant jet lag. Being Katy Perry (or even just being her
plus-one) is an exhausting, exhilarating ride.
Perry’s openness extended to our multiple interviews with the singer where she talks about everything from God to falling in love to what she thinks of her pop-star contemporaries:

On current boyfriend John Mayer, the inspiration for the Prism
track “Legendary Lovers”: “I actually wrote it in an email one time,
and after I wrote it I looked — we had a long courtship before anything
was [public], just writing letters to each other — and seeing ‘legendary
lovers,’ it sounded so nice. Some things float into my mind, and I
process them, and [then] I make songs about them.”
