She’s the first female artist to ever notch five No. 1 singles from a single album, 2010’s “Teenage Dream.” She has more than 3 million Twitter followers.

Her boobs shoot explosives (see the video for “Firework”). And she’s married to a dude, Russell Brand, who’s so damn cool, he’s like hypothermia with facial hair.

How does Perry do it?

Well, with the singer coming to town this weekend, let’s follow her lead in order to better our lives.
