Katy Perry has spoken out against the over-sexualisation of female artists, claiming her musical peers are 'getting naked to be noticed'. One assumes that she doesn't have a mirror.

The US singer (who is seen in a tiny caveman's outfit in latest video 'Roar') made a brave and honest stand on the topic of the moment, but refused to make any specific accusations in her comments, Contact Music reports.

"I'm not talking about anyone in particular," she said. "I'm talking about all of them. I mean, it's like everybody's so naked. It's like, 'Put it away. We know you've got it. I got it, too'."

Warming to her subject, Perry, who once appeared in a photo shoot for Esquire completely topless, continued: "I'm just saying sometimes it's nice to play that card, but also it's nice to play other cards. And I know I have that sexy card in my deck, but I don't always have to use that card."

The 'Dark Horse' singer's comments come in the wake of the release of her third studio album, Prism. Perry, 29, whose appearance on children's show Sesame Street was banned from TV due to the expanse of cleavage she was showing, is now preparing to take Prism on the road, promising fans in a recent iHeartRadio Q&A session the tour will be "magical".
