How did California Gurls come about??
The inspiration for California Girls came when Katy watched her friends go crazy at a party listening to Jay-Z’s salute to New York, “Empire State of Mind.” “Everybody was holding their drinks in the air and dancing, and I thought, ‘We’re not in New York, we’re in Los Angeles! What about California? What about all the homies, the gin and juice, the swaying palm trees, the sun-kissed skin 24-7,’” Perry recalls. “I decided that we needed to make a response. I want people to want to book a ticket to California the first time they hear it!” And because it’s practically un-American to release a song that mentions gin and juice without Snoop Dogg, Perry recruited the rap icon to contribute his inimitable vocals to “California Gurls.” “We thought it would sound so cool and give the song another dimension,” she says. “Snoop is as West Coast as it gets.”
Apparently, Brand popped the question at midnight on New Year’s Eve while the two were being blessed by an Indian “love guru” in a tent at the foot of a Jaipur mountain. Beautiful!
So hopefully you know that our very own Katy is appearing on this August’s cover of Flare magazine, but did you know that you can watch behind-the-scenes footage of the photo shoot? Check it out, below.
