The singer opened up about her partner's positivity
Chelsea and Katy joked that he was a "love machine," focused on spreading love and kindness, with Katy describing: "He's just really got this happy, [positive] vibes and I'm a little bit more heady and prone to depression in some ways — and so it's good for me to be around him because he gets me out of my head a little bit."
