It’s been a year of change for Katy Perry (she cut her hair, dropped her mega-hottie boyfriend, Orlando Bloom, switched up her style, and that’s just what we know of) and she’s ready for the world to meet the new carefree KP! A source exclusively told OK! that the singer’s living a new and improved life that she can’t wait to share with her fans in her new album and on American Idol, as it was recently announced that she’ll be one of the singing competition’s judges.
“She wants her fans to get to know the real her -- a kind-hearted person… She also wants to be able to give opportunities to people who don’t have them through American Idol,” the insider dished. “The whole concept of the show is to discover new talent and Katy is all about that…She wants to be the judge that is supporting and encouraging to the hopefuls.”
When it comes to her new music, the source said Katy’s not concerned with accolades for this album as it was more about her expressing herself.
“Katy did this album for herself. It was all about asserting who she is as a woman in her 30’s. She didn’t make this album to get on the charts,” dished the insider.

The source admitted that the 32-year-old Katy has “grown up a lot,” and is all about balance these days.
“She has been sober for a while,” the insider revealed. “She is not partying very hard but she is not so strict with herself that she feels like she can’t have a drink.”
