Perry split talk not related to split

Katy Perry has said her on-stage comments about her split from Travis McCoy were simply introductions to a song, not a statement about her personal life.

According to reports, Katy Perry has been getting her feelings about her recent split from Gym Class Heroes frontman Travis McCoy off her chest on stage.

Whilst most acknowledge that she refuses to answer any questions on the subject, she apparently spoke frankly on the subject at an acoustic show in LA, saying: "It hurts right now. 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!"

However, says Perry, this was not an outpouring of emotion about her current state of mind, rather an explanation of the song she was about to sing.

She wrote on her blog: "I don't give statements about my personal life. The stories read about the things I say introducing some of my songs are merely to explain the forthcoming song. I enjoy being myself on stage and that's what you expect of me. I have made many of the same introductions before… just lately everyone's dissecting my every word. Understandable. When I wanna share something with the world, the world will know… otherwise, stop looking for a story, or an explanation".
