No, it's not Tang!
Katy Perry Revealed Her Go-To Comfort Food and It’s Weirdly Specific
Published on Apr. 23, 2025
Katy Perry has been making music—and headlines—for almost 20 years. She pivoted from gospel music to pop in the early 2000s, and her career has been a whirlwind of singles ever since.
You simply could not turn on the radio in 2010 without hearing some of the catchiest tunes of the decade, like “California Girls,” “Firework” and my personal favorite, “Teenage Dream.”When she’s not dropping a new album, she’s heading into outer space! Pop stars, they really can have it all.
Even if you’re excited to blast off into space, it’s still a little bit frightening. So when Katy Perry got back to earth, I couldn’t help but wonder if she reached for her favorite comfort food. Does she reach for fast food, like Zendaya? Or a doctored Diet Coke, like Dua Lipa? Here’s what I found out.
What is Katy Perry’s favorite comfort food?
If you’ve watched any of her music videos, you might think that this whipped cream and Maraschino cherry aficionado has a sweet tooth. So I was surprised to find out that her favorite comfort food is actually something savory. She loves chicken nuggets!
Not just any chicken nugget, though. She has a particular shape of nugget that she reaches for when she needs that extra TLC. “My comfort food is chicken nuggets, but only the boot-shaped ones,” she told US Weekly.
I wonder why the boot-shaped nug takes up so much space (ha!) in Katy’s heart. I have to assume that she is talking about McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets, which famously come in four different shapes: bell, ball, bone and boot. Maybe she likes the boot so much because it’s the easiest to dip into sauce. Or maybe she likes that shape because she is a big fashion girlie who wants the shoe option whenever possible. Either way, the next time your hunger pains “Roar,” try out Katy’s favorite comfort food!
