So as she gears up to celebrate her landmark birthday on October 25, the Daily Star delves into her most jaw-dropping sex revelations.
'Wild stallion' fiancé
Katy and Orlando Bloom have been an item for ages, with the Hollywood hunk, aged 47, proposing on Valentine's Day in 2019. They've since welcomed little Daisy Dove Bloom into the world and despite whispers of a secret wedding, they haven't made it down the aisle just yet.
But when it comes to bedroom secrets, Katy and Orlando haven't held back. On an Aussie radio show, Katy was quizzed if Orlando had calmed down after Daisy's arrival, especially following those infamous paddle-boarding snaps where he bared all.
Katy's response on the Kyle And Jackie O Show was cheeky and clear: "He's not changed one bit!" She added: "You can't put reigns on that man! He's a wild stallion, and that's how I like it!"
Lesbian romp
The smash hit I Kissed A Girl didn't just rocket Katy to fame; it turns out it was inspired by real events in her life.
During a heartfelt speech at the Human Rights Campaign gala back in March 2017, pop sensation Katy let slip some juicy details about her sexuality. She confessed not just to kissing a girl but something more, musing on how she would come to terms with such experiences given her deeply religious upbringing.
"Truth be told, I did more than [kiss a girl] and how was I going to reconcile that with the gospel-singing girl raised in youth groups that were pro conversion camps?" she divulged. "What I did know is that I was curious, and even then, I knew that sexuality wasn't as black and white as this dress."
Best lover
On-and-off couple, Katy and Orlando, who hit it off initially in January 2016 but took a break in March 2017, and reignited their spark in February 2018. During their time apart, Katy dropped a bombshell on James Corden's The Late Late Show by ranking former lovers' prowess in the sack, leaving Orlando to secure the second spot.
The top position went to no other than musician John Mayer, renowned for his romances with big names like Taylor Swift, Jennifer Aniston, and Jessica Simpson.
Katy Perry has cheekily confessed that her lovely Orlando only snagged second place on her list of hottest bedmates, with the Never Really Over songstress placing globe-trotting DJ Diplo as her third top bonk. In a frisky revelation, she gushed: "They're all amazing lovers and I would have sex with all of them after I get out of this place!"
Sleepy romp
Before hooking up with heartthrobs John and Orlando, Katy was known for her fling with Travie McCoy of Gym Class Heroes fame. Post-split, her 2010 banger Teenage Dream included a track titled Circle the Drain, which famously threw shade at an ex for nodding off during naughty pre-game fun, thanks to drug woes.
The fan world buzzed with chitchat that Travie was the muse for this spicy lyric, and he later tipped his hat to the gossip mill. Hitting back with some sly shade of his own, Travie dished to MTV News: "I heard she put out a song that's about me, or about some old habits or whatever and I look at it like this: I'm just stoked that she finally has a song with some substance on her record."
