Katy Perry has spent the weekend live-streaming her life to YouTube.
It seems innocent, at first. A public relations stunt to build hype around her new record Witness.
Viewers can tune into watch her sleep and pet her dog and dine with friends and exercise in a private yoga class with actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson.
But then, there are the darker moments.
The session with her therapist where the 32-year-old pop star confesses she just wants to be “seen as Katheryn Hudson” – Perry’s real name. That she’s thought about suicide. That she cut her hair because she no longer wants to “look like” Katy Perry.
The conversations with friends where she spends hours analysing her own music videos. Discussing the way she is criticised on the internet because her bottom teeth are crooked.

I don't know. I just see one giant PR stunt. Her record sales are flailing and everything else she's done up to this point hasn't garnered her the attention she needs (the Taylor feud, the
admissions of dabbling in lesbianism, the haircut).
She was shilling for Clinton, first warning sign.
