Just like Katy Perry, Lady Gaga is one of the biggest stars on the planet. Both women rank among the world’s best-selling music artists, and they have numerous accolades to show for their talent and hard work. The two ladies have a lot in common in regards to their careers and the success they have enjoyed. The one place where there is however a disparity is in their height.

Gaga, who is a native of New York, is 5 feet 1 inch (155 cm) tall. This makes her about 7 inches shorter than her counterpart from California. Because of her height (or lack of it), Lady Gaga is known to wear very high heels.

Swift is evidently taller than her counterpart as she is 5 feet 10 inches (178 cm), making her two inches taller than Perry.

She revealed that she has no option but to wear sandals everywhere as she gained about 55 pounds, putting her weight at the time at 85 kg (189 pounds). Katy was however determined to get back her pre-pregnancy body and abs and she has been able to do just that.

The Workout Routine and Diet That Helps Her Stay Fit

Before pregnancy, Katy Perry was able to stay fit by doing brief, intense workouts that included hip thrusts and lunges. She also enjoyed hiking and going for walks with her dog.

She insists she has never gone under the knife to reduce her weight.

In addition to working out five times a week, she also watches what she eats by indulging herself in Harley Pasternak’s 5 Factor Diet.
