Niall Horan credits Katy Perry for shaping his career.
The One Direction star shot to fame after auditioning on 'The X Factor' in 2010, on which he would end up being put into the boy band alongside Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik.
And the singer has revealed it's guest judge Katy who he owes for his global success.
While appearing on SiriusXM's 'The Morning Mash Up', Niall was asked to name the person who has helped him become the international star he is.
He replied if Katy Perry didn't put him through in his audition he wouldn't be where he is and insisted that's a fact.
And quizzed on whether the 'Dark Horse' hitmaker knows that she's played a key part in Niall's trajectory to superstardom, he quipped: "She is fully aware and prides herself on it!"
