Katy Perry Reveals She 'Faked' Confidence Due To Low Self-Esteem

Katy Perry might have won millions of hearts with her gorgeous voice and beauty. The singer who is all set to appear in Madonna's much awaited new song, "Bitch I'm Madonna' has revealed some secrets she had when she entered the industry.

Perry says she had to "fake" her confidence when she started her career in the music industry. The 30-year-old has had a multitude of hit tracks and is known for her daring live performances but she says she suffered from self-esteem issues when she entered showbiz, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"There's an intense level of confidence that sweeps over me and I can really command a stage, and back then, I could do it, too. I just had to. I had to fake it until I made it," USA Today magazine quoted Perry as saying.

Speaking about her time on the Warped Tour, Katy Perry said, "Someone voted me laziest because they thought I was just sleeping in my bus because they never saw me."

"The actual reality is, I was up at seven a.m. doing radio promo and then going to dinner with program directors after my shows. I was always hustling. Can you imagine being voted 'laziest?' Cut to eight years later, I'm doing a year-long tour and 141 shows and counting," she added.
