Perrys autobiographical documentary Katy Perry: Part
of Me was largely inuenced by Madonna: Truth or Dare.
She admires Madonnas ability to reinvent herself, say-
ing I want to evolve like Madonna,[209] and has credited
Madonna for inspiring her to make Prism darker than
her previous material.[210]
Perry names Bjrk as an inuence, particularly admir-

Perry on her condence as a songwriter
While Perrys music incorporates pop, rock, and disco,
Katy Hudson contains gospel. Her subsequent releases,
One of the Boys and Teenage Dream, involve themes of
sex and love. One of the Boys is a pop rock record,
while Teenage Dream features disco inuences.[220][221]
Perrys fourth album, Prism, is signicantly inuenced by
dance and pop music. Lyrically, the album addresses re-
lationships, self-reection, and everyday life.[222] Many
of her songs, particularly on Teenage Dream, reect on
love between teenagers; W described the albums sexual
innuendos as irresistible hook-laden melodies.[29] Self-
empowerment is a common theme in Perrys music.[223]
Perry describes herself as a "singer-songwriter mas-
querading as a pop star[224] and maintains that honest
songwriting is very important to her. She told Marie
Claire: I feel like my secret magic trick that separates
me from a lot of my peers is the bravery to be vulner-
able and truthful and honest. I think you become more
relatable when you're vulnerable.[14] Kristen Wiig com-
mented that as easy, breezy, and infectious as Perrys
songs can be, beneath the surface lurks a sea of mixed
emotions, jumbled motives, and contradictory impulses
complicated enough to ll a Carole King record.[206] Ac-

Harpers Bazaar that she was proud of and satised with
her gure.[245]
Perrys fashion often incorporates humor, bright colors,
and food-related themes[246] such as her trademark spin-
ning peppermint swirl dress.[247] Vogue described her as
never exactly one to shy away from the outrageous or
the extreme in any realm,[248] while Glamour named her
the queen of quirk.[249] In February 2009, Perry told
Seventeen that her fashion style was a bit of a concoc-
tion of dierent things and stated she enjoyed humor in
her clothing.[250] She has also described herself as hav-
ing "multipersonality disorder" for fashion.[245] Perry lists
Gwen Stefani, Shirley Manson, Chlo Sevigny, Daphne
