Kristina Guerrero: You look gorgeous, pretty in pink.

Katy Perry: Thanks.

Kristina Guerrero: Tell me about your dress.

Katy Perry: This is Badgley Mischka and I feel really girly in it.

Kristina Guerrero: Well, you look very girly and very pretty. Can I tell you how many
people have told me when I say, “Who are you really excited to see
tonight?”

Katy Perry: You’re biasing.

Kristina Guerrero: I -- roll the tape, no! I promise you, how many people are so
excited to see your performance tonight.

Katy Perry: Oh, I’m really excited for that too. I mean I’m so excited any time
I get to sing the song because I think it’s a song that means a lot
more than some of the other songs on my record. Although they all
have their position and reason why but I think I’m doing
something actually encouraging and good and right with the songs,
so it makes me happy.

Kristina Guerrero: And because you’re doing it on such a huge platform like the
AMA, is that kind of why you decided to go with this one?

Katy Perry: Yeah, it was perfect. This is the one performance for Firework that
I’ve really kind of like worked day and night. I mean I did with all
the other ones but like I know this is the AMA as in, everybody’s
on the roster, everyone’s playing and so yeah, I don’t want to let
anyone down.

Kristina Guerrero: Well, I promise I’m sure that you won’t. Now, Thanksgiving is just
a few days away. How will you and Russell be celebrating? I know
he doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving necessarily.

Katy Perry: What? I’m making him celebrate it all over again. The joy of
America in our home will be celebrated even if there’s an English
man present.

Kristina Guerrero: Yeah! Will you be cooking?

Katy Perry: No, I’m ordering from down the street like Mrs. Doubtfire of
course. I’ll be like “Ah! The carrots and the sauce!”

Kristina Guerrero: Have a great time tonight.

Katy Perry: Thank you.

Kristina Guerrero: Good to see you.
