Katy Perry is looking back on this past year with love. In a lengthy post on Instagram, the pop star reflected on the “incredible impact” she’s felt since releasing her album 143, taking stock of all the twists and turns she’s faced in the process. 143 to me was literally me saying I love you to my fans. Proud of myself, proud of my fans and proud that I keep on swinging … Through my years in the spotlight, I have been beloved, tested and tried. No forcing, no controlling – just trusting the angels, the fans, and the music to guide me where I’m meant to go.
