Singer Katy Perry no longer cares about what people think of her fashion sense. She only listens to those who are closest to her.
The 32-year-old singer says she used to spend hours reading her followers' comments about her appearance and clothes on social media, but now she has a carefree attitude.
"I've given up on what people think about me. I have a great group of people around me that I listen to and value their opinions. I gave up scrolling down on the comments.
