Katy Perry Gets Real About The Messy Parts Of Postpartum Life

Katy Perry is not one to mince words about her postpartum experience.

“Nobody talks about the first six weeks after you have the baby,” Perry said during an interview on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Monday. “Oh my god, that’s wild! What a roller coaster!”

She explained that her album “Smile” came out shortly after Daisy’s birth, so things were a little different from her other records.
