Pop superstar Katy Perry told E! News host Ryan Seacrest that she prepared for her half time show by prayer.
“I over prepared myself and did a lot of prayer and meditation,” Perry told Seacrest at the 57th annual Grammy Awards.
She continued, “It’s funny, I was praying and I got a word from God and He says, ‘You got this and I got you.’ And then I was on top of the lion and a guy, a random guy, just looked on me with a headset that I’ve never communicated with before and he just looked me straight in the eyes and said, ‘You got this.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, this is God confirming I can do this.”
Perry, who grew up in a Christian home, has spoken out before about her faith. In fact, the day of her Super Bowl show she tweeted, “Today is the day that the Lord has made! I will rejoice and be glad in it,” the singer tweeted the day of her Super Bowl performance quoting Psalm 118:24.
Though Perry has often spoken of and sung about engagement in immoral acts, we hope that her recent experience (real or imaginary) will lead her closer to God a seeking to follow Jesus.
