Katy Perry dating Travis McCoy

Katy Perry's biggest tracks are about kissing girl and calling an ex-boyfriend gay. Despite that it seems that she's dating Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes.

"We're going to spend the whole summer together," McCoy, 26, told PEOPLE at a recent record release party for label mate Tyga, in Los Angeles.

"She's going to be on Warped Tour with us, she's going to be performing. It's going to be a good time."

katy perry is awsome

July 4, 2008 at 1:27 a.m.

katy perry is like the GOD OF SINGING who ever does not love her than $*%#@ you because she is awsome. she most probably made other girls and even guys to come out of there shadow and reveal there selfs!!! and trust me if i was gay or by i would tottaly try to go out with her if i was her age , but too bad im not so to bad for her but she is really pretty and i dont know why some guys would not drool over her,i guess they r gay!!!the first time i herd her song on the radio i went on the computer and learned the whole thing, and now i do not leave my room without hearing it at least one more time, even if it takes an hour or two. i stay up pretty much all night wondering when they r going to play the new songs for these past three days i most probably got only ten or less hours of sleep!!!aand the last thing i want to say is KATY PERRY I LOVE U, U R MY HERO, U R PRETTY, U SING AWSOME AND I CANNOT SAY IT ALL IN THIS BOX, OF HOW MUCH I LOVE U BUT I AM PRETTY SURE THAT U GOT THE IDEA, AND I HOPE U PEOPLE WILL REALISE ONE DAY HOW GREAT SHE IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Katy Perry fans have horrible grammar and spelling. With Luba's post as evidence, they are obviously tremendously uneducated and sheltered individuals who can't tell the difference between being true to yourself and abusing sexual taboo for profit. She is a shame on so many levels, and she is not a good singer. She has autotune, mellodyne, and a hundred thousand dollar recording budget. For the love of gawd, please check out this reality thing. It's so much more honest here.

I LOVE KATIE PERRY.... WHO IS TRAVIS FROM GYM ASS HOMOS???

July 5, 2008 at 11:14 a.m.

July 6, 2008 at 2:37 a.m.

^^^ Typical homophobic hate speech from Katy Perry fans. If you love her, you love injustice and human suffering.

July 6, 2008 at 2:37 a.m.

Too bad he cheated on her with that whore gia Farrell who sings that happy feat song ..shes like 19

July 14, 2008 at 9:31 a.m.

well if he did actually cheat on her, she obviously doesn't care, she was hanging out with him last night in miami and they are on the warped tour together and seem very happy. Katy Perry is no mariah or whitney but she makes happy pop music, and if you don't want to listen to it, don't buy her record or turn the station. i think they are an awesome couple and if you don't like them.... maybe you need to get a life and not care so much

July 14, 2008 at 6:48 p.m.

Yes, she does need and use Autotune. I saw her sing at So You Think You Can Dance. The only part that sounded normal was when they played a tape for her chorus, and her terrible warble sometimes cut through the recording. She can't cary a tune. Seriously, go and find out how your music is made. Go read about Autotune and Melodyne plug-ins.

July 15, 2008 at 1:13 a.m.

Gym class heroes suck. and so doe she...slut

July 15, 2008 at 7:58 p.m.

Gym Class Heroes are my favorite of heroes. <333
As for Katy Perry; I hope Travis isnt dating her.
Not hating (Peace sign up) but Katy Perry isnt that good.
But both singers have a similiar trait; Originality.

July 16, 2008 at 8:24 a.m.

Is it really that big of a deal whether or not people like someone's music?

Believe me, it has nothing to do with the person themselves. And rather than sitting here bitching about how a person sings or the music they make, go listen to music you do enjoy and get over yourself long enough to let other people enjoy what they like.

July 17, 2008 at 8:51 p.m.

kate perry's a joke. she kissed a bitch, we get it. her songs have absolutely no real meaning, feeling, anything. that song doesn't even sound serious, & she's probably just laughing at all of you, for thinking it's THE BOMB. her fans are idiots, & celebrities are worthless.

July 17, 2008 at 8:56 p.m.

Well said, Chelsea. My hat's off to you.

July 19, 2008 at 5:15 a.m.

I agree with "myself". why is everybody so worried about what Travis and Katy are doing or who likes her music or not. If you don't like her then don't listen to her music or pay attention to her. simple.

July 19, 2008 at 5:15 a.m.

If I were Katy I would rethink about being around Travis. This reflects back on in a negative way. By no means she's a cool singer, but Katy please date someone with a cleaner image.

July 19, 2008 at 1:15 p.m.

Katy boyfriend is truly a first rate dirt bag ! I decided not to buy her cd based on Katy being with a chump. He acts looks like a wannabe gang thug.

July 19, 2008 at 4:18 p.m.

Look at Gwen Stefani and her career, it is sheer quality. She married a clean cut man (Bush), there never any negative press about her. She has really set her career path right. Katy the way she's going I think she'll be a one hit wonder trying to use up that one hit song of hers ( I kissed a girl ). Her being with Travis I think it'll be a quick ride for her going no were fast. Just look at Britany.

July 20, 2008 at 3:42 a.m.

Someone like Travis I can only imagine can eventually lead to drugs and trouble. You are who you hang out with and Im sorry to say this but I will say it. Travis looks like a total loser. Dump him Kate and move on or maybe your a loser too.

July 22, 2008 at 4:06 p.m.

Travis just gave Katy a promise ring! I like them together! And Katy perry is okay. I'm not really a fan of her music but I think she's funny and a good singer!

July 22, 2008 at 5:13 p.m.

wow, you chelsea ******, its ONE SONG just because ONE SONG
doesnt have much meaning doesnt mean all of them are like that.
she has some really nice songs filled with meaning
you should check up on things before you start running your mouth.
i dont care if some people dont like katy perry
its your own opinion but some people really like her
and enjoy her music so for people like FMH whats the point of coming on here and bashing her?
your meaningless words wont affect people who enjoy her music
and its not like shes reading this or if she did
why would she care what a stupid kid on a computer thinks of her music?

July 22, 2008 at 5:26 p.m.

"your meaningless words wont affect people who enjoy her musicand its not like shes reading this or if she did why would she care what a stupid kid on a computer thinks of her music?"
.
Exactly. So why do people like you come on here and talk about how amazingly talented she is when a) she doesn't care and b) you're utterly wrong (autotune & melodyne, go Google them). I'm sure Katy knows she sucks, since she’s the one sucking, but many like yourself have yet to look into melodyne and discover the man behind the curtain that is the illusion of your music product. That's my motivation. Why, prey tell, is your anti-anti-Katy Perry opinion any more relevant to internet discussion?

July 25, 2008 at 3:40 p.m.

I just cant stand it when some losers bash music they dont like and make people feel bad about their personal music choice its not like your words are going to change that
I never said she was 'amazingly talented'
I just personally think she has a good different, real voice
and some people just cant see that because they're so used to hearing all of the fake obviously computerized voices that doesnt mean every mainstream artist is fake.
and my opinion isnt relevent it is MY opinion i dont give a damn if you dont like her, its not my problem, but next time how about you keep it to yourself?
the only reason I'm not keeping my own opinion to MYSELF is because people bashing one kind of music just because they dont enjoy it just makes me angry

July 25, 2008 at 4:23 p.m.

"I just personally think she has a good different, real voice and some people just cant see that because they're so used to hearing all of the fake obviously computerized voices"
.
I work at a music store, where we sell autotune and melodyne. I know what they sound like. Katy Perry doesn't sing on her album. I saw her sing live; she can't carry a tune, and she has nowhere near the range that's on her big singles. Just because the voices no longer sound computerized to you doesn't mean they aren't. Technology is constantly improving. Why, the new version of melodyne can actually allow you to chance a single note in a complex guitar chord out of a waveform. That's insane, and many thought it would never be possible.
----------
"the only reason I'm not keeping my own opinion to MYSELF is because people bashing one kind of music just because they dont enjoy it just makes me angry"
.
And the only reason I'm not keeping my opinion to myself is because I find Katy Perry's lyrics morally reprehensible and irresponsible, as well as the fact she's a complete fake. That makes me angry, especially when pop culture fans blindly label her "an amazing voice and true talent." That is an insult to the people who actually make music and don't pander to the lowest common denominator in a male fantasy dominated culture. I also write music reviews for a competing website, so I consider pointing out such hack attempts at fake music part of my job. It's not simply that I don't enjoy this music; I know it's not music, but a commercially produced product, and I feel responsible to point out that elephant. We both have our motivation here.
Ultimately, for the future, the best way to deal with someone like me is to ignore me, not debate me. Don't fuel the fire. You're never going to make me feel bad for ripping on a pop hack and shaming the people gullible and/or complacent enough to fall for her act.

July 28, 2008 at 3:32 p.m.

She really can't sing. I saw her at Warped Tour, and before that, live on So You Think You Can Dance?
But Travis doesn't have that much talent either. Rapping isn't exactly hard.
But they look cute together, and I'm sure they're nice people. They certainly seem like it.
Congratulations to the two of them.

July 28, 2008 at 3:32 p.m.

Cheers to FMH.
Her tunes are catchy, though.

July 29, 2008 at 10:08 a.m.

Katy's a dud. Her singing is not to great just that one sorta hit she has and thats it. She's hangin with Travis, that tells you everything right there, may I say more.

July 30, 2008 at 5:14 p.m.

*sheds a tear of happiness for FMH's comments

Your comments were completely brilliant, if I may say so myself. They are my exact sentiments about Katy Perry and her pathetic and desperate attempt at trying to get more attention from a certain type of naive and immature audience who are vapid enough to eat it up. I see her as this cheap opportunist whose claim to fame is rising to the charts by declaring that she's a pseudo-bisexual, if there ever was one, in a meaningless song she "sang". It angers me to look back at the music we had and were listening to in the past and how it's been reduced to s**t like the aforementioned Katy Perry songs. I fear that her songs will be the catalyst to even more shallow, hyper-sexualized and meaningless crap that people will deem "sensational and daring". When in reality, it's the complete opposite. Finally, someone with a brain and good taste. :D

July 30, 2008 at 5:45 p.m.

It's amazing to me that someone can write "So why do people like you come on here and talk about how amazingly talented (or untalented) she is" when that person has returned to comment not once, not twice, but several times in a span of 21 days. If people are SO stupid for coming here to comment about something/someone that they happen to like or think is talented, then what are you? I live in California, I see celebrities ALL the time and I could really care less! I've been in elevators with celebrities, met them while out eating dinner, who REALLY cares?? They are just people, but at least they are people who are out there...doing something...not just sitting around commenting all day about how much they either LOVE or HATE someone or who those people have decided to date. With that being said, let me get back to studying for my Masters degree before my IQ reduces any more than it has in the minute and a half I've been typing this.

August 4, 2008 at 9:49 p.m.

hi Alisha are u one out of many who are a profesional student ? I bet u are. Katy's a dud and she's tying to make herself more than what she is off one song. She's a "one hit wonder" and that's it nothing more

August 6, 2008 at 10:17 a.m.

I LOVE KATY PERRY SHE IS THE BEST

August 6, 2008 at 5:10 p.m.

Travis is HOT as hell and could rock the pants off anyone live dont judge the band based of the radio. Just plain dumb if you do. As for Perry she needs to find someone else bc im going after her man lol

August 9, 2008 at 1:25 a.m.

the only reason i give here a second look is because shes hot. she may not be a good singer. but shed make one helluva good pornstar!

August 14, 2008 at 10:57 a.m.

couldn't agree more with FHM.. for those of you who care I'm here because I wanted to see if other people agreed with my opinion.. I googled "Katie Perry joke" and this was the first hit. (no joke)

I haven't heard much of Katie's other "work" but I do think that "I kissed a girl" is ridiculously cheesy and I don't know about you guys but I don't appreciate people pretending to be someting they're not... so what she's kissed a girl?

Loads of people have done it- myself included. I don't feel the need to express that in a song containing the same ugly line repeated again and again.

The world we live in has some of the stupidest taboos and prejudices. I thought that Tatu brought a lot of acceptance to bisexuals and lesbians (yes- I know they aren't lesbians but their songs didn't ever infere that THEY were, it just was about the scenario -.-' Yes- they did kiss or whatever in the video but that doesn't make you lesbian or bi several hetero girls have tried to get off with me just to "look cool" and that does p*** me off)

This reminds me so much of a particular incident were a hetero girl tried to get off with me in front of her friends to try and look cool because it feels (not physically, but mentally) like that is what Katie Perry is trying to do to the world's BLGT people.. And again it offends me a lot, it's as if she thinks that people who are gay or lesbian or bi or transvestite are so for attention and to be cool or daring or whatever her strange song tries to convey.

I don't care if you like her as a person. I don't know her, most likely neither do you. She may have other good songs but that one is ignorant and supports homophobic stereotypes. That is my point..feel free to discuss it ^^

August 17, 2008 at 3:12 p.m.

Pointless songs. She has to wear low cut tops to gain attention. She wouldn't appear to be pretty if she didn't make retarded faces in every single picture and without her precious photoshop, she wouldn't be attractive at all. Except her bad excuse for a body. She did music sampling for Miley Cyrus so Miley could decide if she liked a song or not. They may hate each other now, but they're two peas in a pod as far as I'm concerned.

August 20, 2008 at 1:05 a.m.

hmmm I thought she was lesbian because of her song.
Until I watched Cupids Chokehold again and I just realized that was her in the video.
Well I hope they break up soon !!!!!

August 21, 2008 at 6:59 p.m.

I like the tune to the song. I'm a lesbian and I could care less whether she's creating stereotypes or experimenting and selling her

August 24, 2008 at 1:43 p.m.

haha. eh, i must admit. i had A LOT of fun reading most of these comments. some people have a lot of hate in them. even towards people they have not, and will not ever have contact with. eh, whatever.

i think katy perry is pretty okay. i've been listening to her since a friend showed me the ur so gay EP at the very beginning of the year. not gonna lie, i was happy to see one of the boys come out. i like it.

as for travis and gym class heros, ive got a lot of respect for the dude and band. they have some really good songs. i really enjoy their lyrics.

good stuff. all of it.

much luck to katy and trav.

August 24, 2008 at 1:43 p.m.

oh, and uhhh, her being an opportunist? makes her pretty damn smart in my book. if i could write a nice, EASY, corporate, song that idiots all over the world ( number 1 on the worldwide charts at one point... actually) went apesh*t over, i sure would. just saying.

she did hardly anything on that song, and made a nice little profit. plus, if she puts anything else out (be it decent, or not), she has already made a name for herself.

i dont know. seems pretty smart, to me.

August 24, 2008 at 1:43 p.m.

I still think her and Travie are cute together!!! But Dude have you heard her sing live???????? She sucks ass!!! Ooooo I bet the only reason she got a chance was because of Travie so all you bastards talkin s**t about him can suck his ass because her ass can't sing worth s**t!!!!!!!
