Katy Perry has insisted that she is still a fan of Lady Gaga, despite criticising the singer's video for her new single 'Alejandro'.

Last week, Perry described the nine-minute clip, which features a series of religious imagery and symbolism, as “blasphemous”.

However, in a new interview, the singer, whose parent's are both pastors, said her comments on Twitter weren't just aimed at Lady Gaga.

"What's funny is that everybody was assuming I was directing it completely towards her, and if I was directing something I would write their '@',” she told a French radio station.

"Lately, I've just been seeing some things that are kind of like, I don't know, in my own personal feelings, a little bit like not something I would do, I guess."

Perry went on to admit that she also had problems with Madonna's past videos, and occasional comments her comedian boyfriend Russell Brand makes.

She added: "Everybody knows, I've said it maybe 100 times on my Twitter, I'm one of the biggest Lady Gaga fans and Madonna fans and Russell Brand fans.

“It's just that, like, of course, some people have different viewpoints."

Perry is currently gearing up to release her new album, 'Teenage Dream', in August.
