Where?-- Do I?-- Oh, wow! Hello everyone! Bryan: Here we go. Ritchie: Oh my god. Bryan: Hello! Perry: I love you so much! Contestant: I love you too, wow, it's... What's your name? Catie with a 'C' and you're Katy with a K, and I already think this friendship is off to a great start. Ritchie: I love that. Perry: I love it. Bryan: CAFFEINE! I don't drink coffee or caffeine. This is pure adrenaline. Like, let's hit it, come on. Well, take your hat off a little longer. How about I throw it aside? Ritchie: There you go.

Perry: Leave it there so we can put some money into it. Alright. Are you guys ready? Bryan: Oh yeah. I have a question, do you write your own

song

s? Yeah! -- to show us? Yeah! Do you want to listen to 21st Century Machine? Ritchie: Yes. Perry: 21st century machine? It's about how the media affected me as an impressionable kid and a little bit of my bitterness towards it, but... You also sound like a fucking genius. Here is the introduction. People on the airwaves always preach who they should be. How to dress, how to talk, perhaps, how to breathe.

Evil artists use their nimble fingers to paint images of what young girls should aspire to be. I'm not alive if I don't use illegal marijuana, I'm not in love without a man sitting next to me. Someone tell me if all this is an illusion, or if I am just a cog in the machine of the 21st century. It's the place to be. In the 21st century machine. Shed light and live precariously ~ Yes, okay! That is SUCH a good

song

. You are a spectacular composer. I love where your mind is. I think... man, are we going to comment?

Yes, Katy is saying it. You are interesting and bright for your age. Perry: Yes. Ritchie: I love your... the sound of your voice. Every once in a while, you know, a Martian lands and we happen to see it. I can't tell you how wonderful it is to see you, okay? Thank you! I'm fascinated by your brain and your writing is incredibly cool, okay? So that's my, that's my comment. Perry: Well, let's vote. Bryan: Do you have a cell phone or... Yes! I have a ce-- --you have Instagram and all the... Yeah. Do you read all that crap?

Yes Yes. Perry: She moves. Ritchie: She moves, yeah. I say YES, Bryan: but don't go reading anything people say about you, because I don't want the outside world to mess with your beautiful brain. Well well. She is so strong. She...she knows it. Katy: What is your answer? In fact, I'm pleased to say that, for the first time, yes. Absolutely. Perry: I think your point of view is very new and necessary. You understand what it means to be a woman today, and I love that. So you're going to Hollywood! Bryan: Don't trip! Ritchie: Oh, honey, oh, that's good.

Perry: I love you, OH MY GOD, I love you. Bryan: Can you believe the genius? Perry: She's hilarious. Perry: She's very smart. Catie: I got three yeses! Oh God, I'm going to get excited just thinking about it. It was um, it was really nice. Well, congratulations, Catie. Cati: Thank you very much! How does it feel to embrace that, embrace that, be with that golden ticket? He's like my son, I just want... Seacrest: You just want to cradle him? Catie: --I want to give him a good college fund, raise him with good manners and have him be successful in life.
