In ‘The One That Got Away’, the sixth and last single extracted from his successful second album, ‘Teenage Dream’ (2010), Katy Perry remembered nostalgia a adolescence rollete. Specifically, he sang on a “summer” in which he met a boy and both rolled into his car, a “Mustang”, while “Radiohead” sounded in the background.
‘The One That Got Away’ was the only single of ‘Teenage Dream’ that did not reach number 1 on the United States singles list: he stayed in 3.
The reference to Radiohead has always highlighted in the letter of ‘The One That Got Away’. But Katy Perry’s connection with Thom Yorke’s band goes further.
In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel broadcast tonight, Katy Perry has told that the second concert he attended in his life was one of Radiohead at Santa Barbara Bowl in Santa Barbara, California. Perry remembers that he went to the show with his best friend and that both were invited to enter the radiohead backstage, but that Perry’s father prohibited it. «I was 13 years old, but it seemed that I was 18; They invited us to Backstage, but my father, who came to look for us, said that neither coña ».
When Kimmel asks the author of ‘143’ who the hell invited her to Radiohead’s backstage when she was barely 13 years old, Perry puts a suggestive look and replies: “The rock n ‘Roll invited us.” Perry finally returned home after Radiohead’s concert, embarrassed: “I felt that I had returned to Primary.”
Perry adds that he has never talked to Thom Yorke or told him his experience in the Radiohead concert because, provided he has seen him, he has “been frozen.” He says he thinks an artist “incredible.”
Interestingly, Perry’s data does not fit. The Radiohead concert that he went to in Santa Barbara, his hometown, can only be one of the two that Radiohead offered in that city on June 29 and 30, 2001. These are the first concerts of Radiohead in Santa Barbara that appear registered in Setlist.fm. However, Perry, born in 1984, in 2001 was 17 years old, not 13, as he counts in the interview. Perry turned 13 in 1997, but in 1997 Radiohead did not give any concert in Santa Barbara. The extensive 1997 Radiohead tour included several stops in California, but none in the hometown of Katy Perry.
