Grammy nominated Katy Perry isn't kissing any girls, but she definitely doesn't have a problem with it! Katy tells CGG all about her support for the LGBT cause (“I voted No on [California’s gay marriage amendment] Prop 8, of course”) and gives us tips for healthy living in our recent phone interview with the spunky star, 25.

The petite singer with the self-confessed “giant personality” is having a busy year. Currently on the road for her "Hello Katy Tour,” Katy will head to LA for Sunday’s Grammy Awards, where she's up for the Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for, you guessed it, her international chart topper "I Kissed a Girl."

But could you believe Katy wasn't even allowed to listen to pop or rock growing up?! The product of a strict Christian upbringing in Santa Barbara, California, it wasn't until she stumbled upon some Queen jams at a friend's house that she discovered the power of music. "It's a very healthy therapeutic thing,” Katy tells us. “It's beautiful when you can see someone kind of let go and have the music take over.”

Do you think Katy will take the Grammy home this weekend? Comment below!
