Here’s a photo of Katy Perry at the Starkey Hearing Foundation in St. Paul, Minnesota on Sunday night. She headlined the charity concert in a giant ball gown (pictures below) and she posed with some big guns. Specifically, Katy posed with former presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. She captioned her photo, “42, 43, 46?” This led people to cluck their tongues at the playful implication that Katy’s running for president. Which is hilarious, but I have to admit being impressed that Katy knows how many presidents we’ve had in the United States. See, she’s not as vacuous as she pretends to be.
Katy also got political on Twitter following the theater massacre in Lafayette, Louisiana. In doing so, she joined the growing number of celebrities who have tweeted their thoughts. Katy made her opinion known:
Do we all personally hv to lose someone from a gun to hv a real opinion on gun control or can we just literally start taking this SERIOUSLY.

Not everyone will agree with Katy’s stance on guns, but she does deserve credit for thinking about the bigger issues. Katy’s not a big selfie queen, which I appreciate. She also doesn’t tweet a million times a day, so it’s notable that she chose to speak out on an important issue. Girlfriend will never be president, but that’s fine. She makes more money as a pop star anyway.
For what it’s worth, Katy also posed with Gene Simmons at the Starkey Hearing Foundation.
