Maybe you don’t mind that she has never met a cringey costume she doesn’t like, and spent an entire album cycle wearing so many fruit-inspired looks on the red carpet and music videos that she is known in China as “Fruit Sister.” Maybe you don’t care that she has a song called “Peacock” with a hook that consists entirely of her requesting to have a look at some guy’s “peacock, cock, cock” over and over. Maybe you don’t think it’s that bad that she launched her career with back-to-back songs that were homophobic and then queer-baiting (you should).
She's also a philanthropist and a die-hard Hillary supporter.Īnd yet…she can be pretty embarrassing, too. Which means she’s a savvy businesswoman, too. She’s also, like so many other singers today, sitting at the top of an incredibly lucrative empire of branded consumer goods, and often takes an ownership stake in other products she shills, which nets her even more cash. Let’s get one thing straight right off that bat: Katy Perry is a firework-a wildly successful pop star with a huge string of inescapable, catchy hit singles that speak to her ability to write music and select songs that connect with millions of fans. Hey guys, do you ever feel like a plastic bag? Has anyone you love ever felt like a plastic bag? Can you even fathom, as a sentient being, what feeling like a plastic bag might be like? Or, perhaps a better question: Can you imagine opening a song meant to be an earnest empowerment anthem with a question like that? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, then you might actually be Katy Perry.
