A couple of weeks ago, Katy Perry made a deal to sell her album rights to Litmus for $225 million. With the move likely to boost her net worth, the questions lingering in most of her fans’ minds are whether the singer is moving out of the music show biz completely or she is planning on making a comeback any time soon.
Katy Perry’s 2010 album “Teenage Dream” marked the peak of her career. The album had five hits featured in Billboard Hot 100, making her the second artist to attain such success after Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.”
The late 2000s and mid-2010s proved tremendous for her career. However, Katy Perry’s “Witness” in 2017 was her first album to underperform, followed by “Smile” in 2020, which did not come close to her previous track records. The adverse turn of events was covered widely in entertainment news across America.
Katy has not recorded anything since 2020 and has not had a world tour since “The Witness tour” six years ago.
However, she has remained visible as an American Idol judge. With this, many fans and critics alike will argue that Katy Perry’s career was short-lived, while others will tell you otherwise.
Is Motherhood Limiting Katy Perry’s Music Career?
In her interview with “Good Morning America,” she admitted to having been “writing a lot from a place of love” because she’s been feeling so much of it.
Katty and her fiance, Orlando Bloom, welcomed their newborn daughter, Daisy Dove, to the world on August 26. In the interview, the singer stated that she had not recorded anything since the coming of her daughter Daisy.
She noted that she had been writing “a lot of material” since then and planned on perfecting her “new material” before releasing it to the public.
Katty is a proud mother. She believes that, although it’s good to celebrate the world she has built with her beautiful songs, it is equally important to be responsible for her daughter. She wants to “get this right” before making a musical comeback.
In another interview with “Today Show,” Katy noted that her daughter gets the exclusive luxury of listening to the songs first. Whatever music Katy is writing, she plays it to Daisy to see how she loves it.
Will Business Continue to “Limit” Katy Perry’s Career?
During her time off music recording, Katy Perry invested more in business, which explains why her net worth did not reduce despite her silence in the music scene.
Last year, Katy co-founded “De Soi,” a non-alcoholic beverage line, which has also taken time out of her music career. The company is believed to have used about $4 million.
Deborah Benton from Willow Growth and a partner of the company, expressed her pleasure for partnering with Katy and Morgan, describing the beverages as a “sophisticated, mindful option.” The drinks are believed to be better alternatives to alcohol, considering they have natural adaptogens, low calories, and only contain healthy sugars.
With De Soi added to the pool of her businesses, the singer’s collection is believed to be worth around $300 million.
What Should Katty Perry Fans Expect in the Future?
The reason we have not seen much of Katy Perry is not because she is quitting music but because much of her time goes into motherhood and business. Interestingly, she is ranked the ninth top musician with an estimated net worth of $340 million, according to Forbes.
Much of her fortune can be attributed to her music career. Apparently, Katy is still an influential figure in the music industry.
The recent interview at Good Morning America shows that Katy Perry is still very interested in advancing her career. At the end of the interview, she expressed anticipation of getting back and touring the world.
Although her reasons are “valid” to most of her fans, the music industry needs consistency and commitment. Nonetheless, motherhood will always be a part of her life.
Final Word on Katy Perry Music
Whether Katty Perry plans on venturing more into business or making a comeback to music remains to be seen. What we can hope for as Katy’s fans is for her to find the perfect balance between her music career and personal life.
