During a Television Critics Association panel discussion for American Idol,
Katy Perry reveals that she has problems deciding how much and what kind of information to share with her fans. "It's like walking a tightrope," she says. "You don't have to answer any question. You're not under oath. You don't have to leave bread crumbs all over social media if you don't want to. But some people do that and need that and it's a
tool. Listen, all the fame stuff is just a by-product of what I do, it's not what I sought out to do. I just wanted to tell stories and sing and connect with people." Perry, at this point, has over 170m followers across Twitter and Instagram.
