Katy Perryis focusing on three things right now — her health, herfootwear brandandher relationship with actor Orlando Bloom.
In a new interview withFootwear NewsPerry calls Bloom “a great anchor” in her life. “For some reason, I attract people who are really real and call me out on stuff when I’m being cuckoo,” she said.
Throughout the past year she revealed that she focused on her mental health and spiritual and emotional well-being. “I’ve been trying to find the balance and not overindulging, just trying to stay grounded,” she told themagazine.

Katy PerryandOrlando Bloomhave been going strong since they started exclusively dating again earlier this year, and now a source tells PEOPLE the couple may be ready to get engaged.
“Orlando doesn’t have a ring yet but has been talking about the future,” says a source close to the actor. “Everyone would be excited if they got engaged. Katy is wonderful!”
The stars — whocalled time on their relationshipin February 2017 after a year of dating — have been on andstrong since the springafter being photographed together inJanuary in the Maldives.
“I’m not going to go straight into making another record,” she said. “I feel like I’ve done a lot. I feel like I’ve rung the bell of being a pop star very loudly, and I’m very grateful for that. I love making music, I love writing. But I don’t feel like I’m a part of a game anymore; I just feel like I’m an artist. I don’t feel like I have to prove anything, which is a freeing feeling.”
She’s been putting her creativity into another artistic outlet, her footwear line,Katy Perry Collections. In addition to designing quirky and colorful collections each season, she’s getting involved with one of the largest charitable projects in the shoe industry.
On October 11, 80,000 pairs of designer shoes will be available to shop onQVC.comand a minimum of 80 percent of the profits will benefit breast cancer research and education. As the event’s ambassador, she’s set to appear on QVC on October 10 to sell pieces to benefit the charity, which includes three specially-designed shoes from her own collection.
Unlike some celebrity collaborations with lines, she is fully involved in every aspect of her business.
“There are a lot of people who do collaborations, and that’s super-fun, and good for them. But I wanted ownership — it was important to me to [approach this like] Victoria Beckham did. She paved the way for pop stars. You can be taken seriously if you do take it seriously.”
She added: “I’m not a basic; I’m not here for the basic. That’s a waste of my time. I’m here to disrupt this Sleepyville.”
