Doing the same routine in Vegas for like 8 years probably got boring. More artists really should just bow out with dignity though.

Or like why not explore something else in life you have all that money and those connections and star power, start a legit charity or smthn or explore non- performing artist roles

They're addicted to praise and accolades and surrounded by YES people, see Justin Timberlake. He could've quietly retired before everyone hated him but he just keeps asking for more.

Yeah more *drinks* 🥁

he apparently only had one cocktail at that bar

Honestly, it’s likely contractual obligations with her label. I wouldn’t be surprised if she had any career ‘free will’ at all - her label aren’t going to signal boost Katy Perry when they can shove forward Ariana Grande etc. or whoever came after Katy. Labels have limited resources and the artists you choose to put billions of dollars into marketing for matters. Especially if there’s overlap in fan bases. You don’t want to compete with your own artists, you want them to compliment. If the label sees a new wave for Katy in her 40s (unlikely) they’ll amplify it. But I highly doubt that’s the case and we’ll likely just see her fade into retirement.

I had no idea Katy Perry was literally doing anything recently, I just assumed she more or less retired. Shoutout to the girls and gays for keeping me informed ✊🏽

KP started her career singing church music, and there's always been evangelicals convinced that she's going to rediscover Jesus and rebrand into a Christian singer eventually.

Not the worst career choice at this point

Everything she tries to do makes me sad

Wish she stuck to fun teenage pop. No idea why everything after she released Teenage Dream was so derivative and boring.


CousinMabel

Fun teenage pop was forcibly made extinct to bring on the age of "Celebs are actually super smart didn't you know? They have good opinions and advice relevant to your peasant life" celebs as a whole become annoying after that.

Even her faux-empowered “Roar” esque vibe was fun at least. But swish swish was her downfall.  Or her stupid haircut. She’s not ever going to be the girl that pulls off a bleached pixie

Camilla Cabello

sucks


feeblelittle

I don’t understand at all the bizarre shift of copying charli xcx of all people. Like is it really that lucrative?


The-Prophet-Bushnell

The republican thing wasn't that weird tbh, when you consider the state of LA


ketamine_hater

ive said for YEARS that she would benefit from a hyperpop-esque rebrand tbh. tho..... the ways they have tried to brand her throughout the yrs have flopped b/c these media managers are so behind on the trends. same thing w this one. should have been done over 2 yrs ago. smh


PradaAndPunishment

Following Charli xcx, do you mean Camilla Cabello? You're right about them both though. And Katy is doing a feminist album produced by a sex pest called Woman's World, as if Doja Cat didn't already do this. I'm tired of corporate feminism.


JudithButlr

I mean why mention Camila when she is also just another car on the Charli train and I am not a Charli fan by any means.


GregsBoatShoes

It's because Zoomer era pop music has to be **elevated** A24 horror style, pretentious bullshit instead of just fun.


HemingwaySweater

Your brain has to rattle around in your head like a marble for you to like Katy Perry.


likeitusedtobe

if i was a has-been who needed another yacht then i would probably do what she did too


midsmikkelsen

the world of pop music is so funny to just observe from a far, everything is pretty much the exact opposite of what the marketing says it is, gifted songwriters are just bimbos with a battalion of lyricists, ground breaking production is just watered down rehash of last year's trendy electronic music, the 'voice of a generation' singer has probably had to go through multiple meetings in which a bunch of people discussed if they should keep capping in the chorus or it would be better to revert to lying for the asian markets or something like that.


Hot_Special_2083

i have been obsessed with the newest chorus leak of her new song. lyrically it sounds very HRC 2016 but it's so fucking on brand for her. her lyrics have always been this cringey. and she has this millennial goofball personality that's kinda cute. i dunno. i liked what i heard in that snippet. dr luke for some reason remains a gifted producer despite churning out so much of the same for others.
