-These guys Mert and Marcus. They're a fantastic duo.
-Mert and Marcus? -That's correct.
-Two human beings.
-Two beautiful human beings, very artistic, very cool.

-[ Chuckles ] Yeah.
Yeah, Mert and Marcus.
Are they puppets? -No, they're amazing.
[ Laughing ] They're not puppets, but they're perfect.

-Now, what's the idea behind all these?
-I guess it's just, you know...
-Is it Comme des Garçons?
-It's Comme des Garçons. It's all Comme des Garçons.

[ Operatic singing ]
[ Laughter ] -Wait. Watch.
Watch -- Watch Katy. Watch Katy.
Watch what she says. Watch.
[ Laughter ]

"Help me."
[ Laughter and applause ]

[ Cheers and applause ] I love you, man.
All right, that's exactly -- but you still rock it out, man.
-Listen. -Yes.
-The world is such a dark place, we have to laugh through it.
-We have to laugh through it. [ Cheers and applause ]
-Right? -Exactly.
That's the only way to do it.
I want to ask about -- -Speaking of laughter...
-No. -Oh.
-Speaking of fun and enjoyment,
I want to talk about -- What -- Is this a painting?
-It's not. It's a photograph.
And it's -- -Why does it look --
It looks like it's, like -- it's like, it's got spray paint.
-Well, just because it's kind of been digitized.
It's like a digital take on it and stuff.
-Yeah. I love it. I dig it.
-Thank you. -And is that your signature?
It says "Katy" there. -That's my name and --
-I know your name. [ Light laughter ]
-Well... -But, I mean, did you sign that?
Is that how you sign it? -I didn't --
No, I don't sign it, but this is the eye in the mouth.
-No, I saw that, but, I mean... [ Laughter ]
I mean...'cause you would think, if you want to see something,
just open your eyes and see.
-Well, you know what? You want to hear the story behind it?
-No. -Okay.
[ Laughter ] We have --
Of course. I definitely want to.
Are you kidding me?
I want to hear everything you have to say.
I love you. -Aaah!
-Let's talk about it. Sorry.
-No, I think, you know,
sometimes, when you see an extra --
sometimes, when you see an extra eye,
you would see it, like, on, you know, your third eye.
And for me, like, through this journey,
it's been a wonderful, incredible journey,
and I've been able to share with you for over 10 years music,
and I'm so grateful for it. -Absolutely. Yeah.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-But like, for me, the wonderful thing is, like,
the music has allowed me to travel,
which has re-educated my mind
and changed my perspective on so much.
And so, like, my education and my consciousness
comes from my voice, and that's how I see.
And that's how I witness you, and that's how you witness me.
And that's why the eye is in the mouth.
-Ha ha! Yes! [ Cheers and applause ]
