WHAT does a Twilight fan and a hopeless romantic like Christina Perri take with her when she’s on tour?

Only the most buzzed-about book of recent times, the New York Times-bestselling erotic novel, Fifty Shades of Grey.

Oh, and its sequels, Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed.

"I’m in love with (protagonist) Christian Grey," the 26-year-old US singer behind hits like Jar Of Hearts and A Thousand Years told LOUD over the phone from Grand Rapids, Michigan, where she’d just finished the 10th in a string of tour dates that will stretch until October. She plays in Singapore next month at the Kallang Theatre.

"Like, I keep thinking, ‘How am I going to date a real guy after this?" she screeched.
