Niall Horan Recalls How Katy Perry Helped Him Jumpstart His Career
Niall Horan has Katy Perry to thank for the moment that kickstarted his career. The 29-year-old “Slow Hands” crooner came to fame as a member of One Direction, the boy band that was formed on X Factor. However, he revealed to Katy‘s fiancé Orlando Bloom that it never would have happened without her help. He explained how during an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden. While on the late night show, host James Corden pointed out that Katy, who was a guest judge on the show when he auditioned, was the deciding vote that sent him through to the next step. Niall agreed with the statement and said that Katy already “knows it,” too. “The whole time I’m walking onto the stage, and I’m just thinking like, ‘That’s Katy Perry. That’s Simon Cowell.’ The whole thing, it looked like a postcard. It didn’t feel like it was real because I watched the show for so long on TV,” he recalled about the fated moment. He continued, saying “She saves me.” “And it was just mind boggling. Little did I know what was to come afterwards. But if it wasn’t for Katy… When we see each other still we have an embrace of thanks,” he shared. While Katy might have passed Niall through, another celebrity deserves credit for putting One Direction together.
