Spencer Morrill, who lives in downtown Knoxville has spent the past six years of his life thinking that we was dating a major pop star. Over six years he has been exchanging thousands and thousands of emails to someone who he thought was Katy Perry.

Morrill said he fell in love right away and though he was skeptical at first, he went with his gut and continued the online relationship year after year.

"I would start to feel bad that I wasn't trusting that she was telling the truth, so I stopped googling her name and stopped checking what she was telling me and trusted that is was right." said Morrill.

Morrill was recently asked to be a part of the show "Catfish" on MTV, which is about the truths and lies of online dating. Morrill saw this as an opportunity to make the relationship official by remaking his great grandmothers ring to give to "Katy" when he got down on one knee.

When he finally met the person on the other side of the long online relationship who lives in London, Morrill thought it was a joke.

" I felt like they were wrong and that it is actually Katy Perry, and she's going to punk me at the end of the show," said Morrill.

There was no Katy Perry around, and he wasn't very happy with the woman who "catfished" him.

"Why would you waste six years of your life acting like you're Katy Perry? You're kind of a loser. I guess, I mean, yeah everyone will laugh at me for being fooled, but I was honest the whole time," said Morrill.

Morrill said he has learned from this long experience and will make sure he meets the person he's interested in, in person, much sooner next time.
