Even Lady Gaga doesn't come remotely close.

She is a sport!

Remember the time she got slimed at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards in Los Angeles?

She took it p-r-e-t-t-y well.

She loves food (and makes no bones about it)

Rumour has it, she'll go to great lengths for a cake.

And she enjoys her drink

She is also socially aware

Katy Perry is seen here playing with a jump rope during a visit to a primary school that has been rebuilt by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), after it was destroyed by a cyclone in Ampihaonana, Madagascar.

Totally nailing it what is possibly the most drab outfit ever invented!

She hits the right notes, even on the red carpet

Truth is, she's as devoted to fashion as she is to music

She wore a crown to the Met Gala last year!

And nailed it!

And she's never at a loss for words

All thanks to that clutch!

She loves to show off her cleavage

But in a non-skanky super-stylish way

And when time comes to clean up...

She does a pretty good job!

She also happens to be a FANTASTIC singer

Oops! Almost forgot!

And she goes with the flow!
