Singer Katy Perry recently moved to Kentucky and says it’s been an “amazing experience.”

“I’m like, living in Kentucky, and I have for almost a month now,” Perry explained.

“And that’s quite an amazing experience,” she said. “Because it reminds you that Hollywood is not America.”

“You need to remember that. “Because I think you can understand people better.”

The 37-year-old singer is widely known for her left-wing politics, which differs significantly from the conservative views of her religious family.

Her parents, Mary Christine and Maurice Keith Hudson, are also Pentecostal pastors.

The “American Idol” judge has said in the past that she grew up in a strict religious household in Santa Barbara, California.

Perry told Rolling Stone in 2010, “I wasn’t ever able to say I was ‘lucky’ because my mother would rather us say that we were blessed, and she also didn’t like that lucky sounded like Lucifer. Deviled eggs were called ‘angeled’ eggs. I wasn’t allowed to eat Lucky Charms, but I think that was the sugar. I think my mom lied to me about that one.”
