Gym Class Heroes Frontman Gives Grilfriend Boost

Gym Class Heroes

Gym Class Heroes frontman Travis McCoy reckons his girlfriend, Katy Perry, almost scrapped plans to release ‘I Kissed A Girl’ after a crisis of confidence.

Rapper Travis told the Daily Star: "As soon as Katy played ‘I Kissed A Girl’ to me, I said, ‘Baby, this is a smash.' I knew from the word go, but she wasn’t so sure."

Travis proved it to her by sneaking the track onto a playlist of songs played before their live gigs.

He said: "As soon as it blasted out the kids went absolutely mad. They didn’t even know who Katy Perry was then."

But despite the couple’s appreciation of each others’ musical ventures, Travis insists they will never collaborate.

He added: "She’s no Yoko . We’re Travis and Katy, not Sonny and Cher. We give each other’s music constructive criticism, but that’s it."

Gym Class Heroes new album, The Quilt, is out now.
