Katy’s Vow of Celibacy
After Katy Perry’s breakup with Gym Class Heroes frontman Travis McCoy, she told TV Guide, “I’ve actually taken a vow of celibacy this year. No kissing anyone. Just my cat: Kitty Purry.” She told concert goers, “When you break up with someone, you move on. You don’t really want to move on … but you have to because they don’t give you any choice, But I’m over it!”
