Katy Perry says she is heartbroken over reaction to her album
With Vogue Australia magazine, the singer opened up about having "bouts of situational depression" during the release of her Witness album in 2017.
'I put so much validity in the reaction of the public, and the public didn’t react in the way I had expected to, which broke my heart.' — Katy Perry
'Witness' debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 chart, but sadly, it didn't result in any No.1 hits and it's lead single 'Chained to the Rhythm' peaked at No. 4.
