Katy Perry wants people to stop pitting female artists against one another.
The 'Smile' singer has revealed that her Twitter page is awash with comments comparing her success and appearance to other women - and she wants it to stop.
Katy, 35 - who is currently pregnant with her first child with fiance Orlando Bloom - hopes that one day every female artist will "feel supported and loved" and that they can "speak their truth".
In an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music, she said: "Take any female performer and you hear about it every single day. You want to read Twitter comments? Somebody wants to take my account and read my Twitter comments? No, you don't.
"You don't because it's all about who's better than who, who's skinnier than who, who sold more number ones than who, who's doing better this year than who, who made this much more. It's like, 'Okay. Well, what about just liking the music?' ... I am competitive, but I'm not competitive with women. No, no, no, no. I'm competitive in that I want to succeed. I care about my art and I hope that it reaches. That's how I'm competitive."
