The singer, 35, called the marriage "like a tornado," as she promoted her new album on , in an interview which aired on Sunday.

Katy - who welcomed daughter Daisy Dove last Tuesday - described the relationship with Brand as the "first breaking of my idealistic mind."

"I was having great success at 23, 24 and 25 and then I met someone that was interesting and stimulating. It was just like a tornado, it was everything happening at once," she revealed.

The Smile singer added that she has "always resonated with friction and resistance and challenges," and said that she knows that about herself.

British actor Brand and Katy wed in a lavish Indian ceremony in 2010, before splitting the next year.

They divorced after 14 months of marriage.

Katy previously told that Brand was the one who decided to end their marriage when he sent her a text message on New Year's Eve 2011, informing her that he planned to file for divorce.

"He's a very smart man, and I was in love with him when I married him," Perry said at the time "Let's just say I haven't heard from him since he texted me saying he was divorcing me December 31, 2011."

Katy described her relationship with Orlando Bloom in far healthier terms, calling it "a healthy frictional, very open, very communicative, nothing is swept under the mat type of relationship."

"It's like, we should probably walk into the other room to discuss something where we disagree because we'll just do it in public," she told them. "But I think if we can get to the ends of our lives together, we'll be each other's greatest teachers."

She continued, "Dating is different. Weekend lovers? That's fun, that's candy. This is solid. This is like the main course."

Katy and Orlando were set to tie the knot in Japan earlier this summer but decided against it because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
