Katy Perry - 6th Album

[Fabian (Taylor’s Version)]

2008-2014 she was on fire but let’s not pretend that even in her flop eras most girls would kill to have that.

Get off American Idol, stop tweeting and just give us more bops problem solved. Arguing that she isn’t A list is just pointless she helped define that era of pop music and was for a brief moment the biggest star, that doesn’t go away her legacy is secured.

Give her a massive single and change her social media passwords a la Mildred and let the music do the work.

I kinda gasped when I saw The Guardian refer to Katy as B-List because I don’t think that’s true or even a fair assessment of her place in pop right now???

 

[dylansharif]

It’s such a weird comparison by comparing Katy to Bebe and Ava - makes no sense to me.

Bebe and Ava would never be able to replicate the global dominance Katy achieved with Teenage Dream etc and that era alone puts Katy firmly in the upper echelon of big pop girls.

A-list b-list etc are irrelevant

 

[Celestial Mosaic]

To be fair, she is B list when you compare her to some of the other guests last night, like Kermit and Piggy.

The way her brand is literally same aesthetic as them two

 

[Raichu]

Okay, yes, Katy is obviously an A-lister and one of biggest popstars out there. But why is there more attention placed on this debate than talking about how these dumb ass popstars need to stop doing events like these. Like, can Katy get some amount of fucking depth and think about the implications of her decisions? She's so fucking dense and thoughtless and if she didn't have such a talent for bops, more people would be able to see this.

Rise

 

[mindtrappa]

Ugh, I wish someone had saved the entire Witness Worldwide stream. Truly iconic.

 

[Up N Down]

Her magnum opus.

 

[Tchelitchew]

I think "household name" is a more meaningful distinction than "A-list", "B-list", etc. It's also harder to attain. My older straight coworkers know who Katy Perry is. They've never heard of Bebe Rexha or Ava Max, even if they might dimly recognize one of their hits.

One Love Manchester is definitely my favorite Katy "event" performance, and that one was for a properly good cause.

 

[johnoclock]

I don't know if Katy is b-list (I'd say she's just not A+++ list anymore) but the whole event reeked of low rent.

 

[lushLuck]

She remains a household name who could snag just about any press/promo opportunity she wants, despite an increased struggle to nab chart-topping hits. There's nothing B-list here, even if it has been some time since she was at her pop star peak, and I still think she's in a place where she could easily make a big comeback with the right song. But regardless of that, her profile as a celebrity really hasn't dipped in the slightest.

I very much agree with this - just found on Twitter that Zak Abel was roped in at the 9th hour to fill in spaces in the setlist...

He was replacing Freya Ridings because she was ill.

But it kind of is though.. Would she have done it if she was coming off the back of a much more successful era?

Would she have been asked sooner before all those bigger, more relevant acts who allegedly turned performing for a very unpopular royal down?

She signed up for polarising event, people are allowed to question her motives and place in popular culture.

I'm just so glad Tory Christmas is over and the rain has ruined all the flag shaggers bunting tbh.

It's obvious she doesn't want a comeback. She thought she delivered a real -body of work- a la Lemonade or Anti with Witness, but the reception killed off any drive she had left to be that girl. She seems content being a legacy artist, relying on her back catalogue to get gigs like inaugurations, coronations and residencies. It's futile to expect more from her at this point.

Can we officially start using the duck as a downvote button

That gold baked potato foil dress was a choice.
