But as the [“Chained to the Rhythm” singer](http://time.com/4667037/katy-perry-single-chained-to-the-rhythm/?iid=sr-link1) walked the red carpet at the [Grammy Awards](http://time.com/4664551/grammys-2017-see-winners/) Sunday night, Perry snuck in some unexpected remarks referencing Britney Spears and her famously public breakdown. In not one but two different interviews on the red carpet, Perry threw shade at her fellow pop star, mentioning that she took time for her own mental health over the last year—and that her break from producing pop hits has gone well for her. ### Grammys 2017: See Celebrities Hit the Red Carpet  Adele attends the 59th GRAMMY Awards at STAPLES Center, on Feb. 12, 2017 in Los Angeles.
