Katy Perry has revealed that she is not happy with the state of affairs in America and declared that she is 'part of the problem'. The 26-year-old singer said that things need to change in terms of priorities and welfare in her home country, and that she has recently had a political awakening.

But that is part of the reason why the music business is in turmoil, so to say."
What does Katy have to say about all this? Katy said on Twitter: "Good sherlock holmes listeners know there's LOTS of interesting info in them songs!!!"
