Katy Perry has revealed the secret reason behind her viral ‘doll eye’ talent, telling Vogue in a TikTok for their web series Life in Looks that it’s to watch her glam squad.
The pop star, 38 – who was recently accused of ‘bullying’ a very nervous contestant on American Idol – disclosed that she likes to keep an eye on her hair and makeup teams to make sure that her look is on point.
The unsettling skill is akin to a long-lasting wink, allowing Perry to keep one eye open at all times.
‘I do this pose called “doll eye,”‘ explained the Dark Horse songstress. ‘I can close one eye at a time and still like maintain all function.
‘I’ve sat in a hair and make-up chair for 15 years. If they’re putting eyeshadow on this eye and someone is putting my hair up into a french twist, I want to give notes in real-time.’

The hitmaker’s quirky talent went viral last year when a TikTok clip showed her struggling to open one of her eyes in the middle of a performance, leading many to quip that she was a glitching robot.
Poking fun at the fan reaction, Perry shared a clip of the moment with a witty headline that promoted her Las Vegas residency: ‘When you see new 2023 PLAY dates.’
In the caption, she wrote: ‘Welcoming all my #flatearthers #spaceisfakers #birdsarentrealers #skyisntbluers to come see my broken doll eye party trick IRL in Vegas next year!
‘The show’s setlist is a fun ride through memory lane going all the way back to 2008, a time when we weren’t all frozen by the paranoia of our own echo chambers!
‘This show is a nonstop party about finding unconditional love and strangely (for me) not political at all, heck I pour beer out of my t*ts (that’s a party trick too I don’t actually lactate hops silly goose!)
‘Hope to sing along with you in 2023! And we’ll drink, this one’s on me, cause we’re all #chainedtothealgorithm #therealproblemlolhaha.’
Perry’s career shows no signs of slowing down as the fifth leg of her Las Vegas residency is set to continue through August.
Her over-the-top spectacle at Resorts World is called Play, and the hitmaker recently likened the whimsical show to taking mushrooms.

Playing around: Poking fun at the fan reaction, Perry shared a clip of the moment with a witty headline that promoted her Las Vegas residency – ‘When you see new 2023 PLAY dates.’ She also included a colorful sales pitch in her caption
‘You don’t have to take mushrooms to feel like you’re on mushrooms when you watch this show,’ she told Rolling Stone. ‘Believe me.’
The Dark Horse singer went on to declare that she is far from retirement and said that she’s ‘got a couple of aces up her sleeve.’
‘It’s not like I’m heading into retirement,’ she said. ‘Trust, sweetheart, she’s got a couple of aces still up her sleeve.’
Perry also described how achieving massive success in her early twenties caused her priorities to shift later in life: ‘Most people aren’t working as hard as I worked when I was in my twenties. They’re usually doing that in their thirties. And so it flipped for me. Now, I’m finding a really wonderful balance, which I’m grateful for.’
