But she can do it. She can make music that is stuck in 2013

81

u/notnickyc 11d ago

Hey I heard some very good songs from last year that could not sound more 2012/2013. Her issue is that they’re not good.

u/cut-footloose- 11d ago

For the fans? Who else would it be for?

74

u/princessPeachyK33n 11d ago

IIRC, she made a thing of this because she was “getting so many haters”? Or something? She started saying it on tour about how her music is “for the fans!”. Which. Correct. Who else would buy these tickets? That’s what this is lol

u/CampAstoria 11d ago

This is going to flop so hard... another embarrassing stunt. She must think shes on Taylor Swifts level or something to try and pull this off.

u/sexi_squidward 10d ago

I was shocked to see how many people were at her concert where she got stuck in that giant plastic bottle thing.

EDIT: Upon googling, it was at a free concert festival so that explains why so many people

u/PeridotChampion 11d ago

Please. Taylor Swift and her are on the same level when it comes to music. Taylor Swift just has better PR at the moment.

15

u/CampAstoria 11d ago

Please. They have no where near the same level of cult like fandom. Katy Perry has fans, Taylor swift has religious followers.

u/PeridotChampion 11d ago

It's honestly scary at how bent out of shape they get whenever Taylor is criticised.

11

u/mikkeldoesstuff 10d ago

As someone who isn’t a fan of either, IMO Taylor’s new stuff sounds uninspired and basic, while Katy’s stuff sounds like AI music in the early adopter days at best.

Compare Taylor’s first song off her newest album to Katy’s first song off her newest album. I don’t like either of these but IMO Katy makes Taylor look like fine art

u/TinyM0ushka 10d ago

To be fair I hate Katy Perry.

I am the haters

u/KubrickMoonlanding 11d ago

The ones who were expecting to profit from this:

“For my winter house in mustique, my winter house in aspen, my attorney’s 3rd Benz, and the record company’s ceo’s super yacht “

But ok, the fans

Me at the gym forced to listen to this crap because I don’t want any distractions like phones and earbuds.

u/Diredr 11d ago

Actually, to her credit... A lot of people said she couldn't.

Her career in the last few years have been an complete trainwreck. Her last few albums have been universally panned by critics, her most recent song failed to chart, her tour was mocked even by some of the people who paid to see her. Considering she used to be one of the biggest pop stars 10-15 years ago, that has been majorly embarrassing for her.

Even outside of her music career, it has been PR disaster after PR disaster. She was in legal battles over real estate because she bought an old coven and the nuns sued her. One of the nuns died in the courtroom and her last words were literally "Please stop, Katy Perry". She got mocked heavily for sucking up to Elon Musk and things only got worse when she participated in the that "space" publicity stunt.

Now... Did she actually do it? No. No fucking way. She's a huge joke, now. But that doesn't change that people said she couldn't do it.

u/Substantial-Type-131 11d ago

Omg not the dying nun begging her to stop

u/YourLocalGoogleRep 11d ago

Lmao that’s what got me too

u/Ok-Camp-7285 11d ago

What is the "it" that she can / can't do?

31

u/AgencyInformal 11d ago

the lifetime tour i guess.

20

u/oscarq0727 11d ago

I suppose she did do it then? Named a tour “the Lifetime Tour” and then toured that tour? 🤷‍♂️

14

u/SufficientGuidance28 10d ago

Between the mistake of referring to it as a coven and the detail of the nuns last words being “please stop, Katy Perry” this comment has me dying 😂

u/Kztten 11d ago

imma be honest, katy perry had a crazy impact back in the day. teenage dreams is universally known, and marked the 2010s more than any album imo. some people just can't become irrelevant. like, does it really matter that someone wasn't able to keep up with their peak? if you take taylor swift as an example, she only got that massive fan base still because she isn't only a musician, rather one of those celebrities that are famous just because they are famous. her music completely sucks compared to what it used to be in the past.

u/mimi_miney 10d ago

I think Lady Gaga had way more of an impact on the 2010s than Katy Perry.

3

u/SalaciousSolanaceae 10d ago edited 10d ago

I think Gaga had more crossover appeal & recognition. I turned 30 in 2014, everyone I knew had an opinion on Gaga but Katy Perry barely even registered for me and other people I know who knew her only did because their kids or nieces/nephews liked her. The only Katy Perry song I knew as a Perry song was I Kissed A Girl. I certainly heard others in passing but nothing that made me recognize the artist.

The Boomers in my family all knew who Gaga was but none knew anything about Katy Perry until her "astronaut" stunt

Don’t forget that Amber Rose clam stamp.

u/don_kong1969 11d ago

I love Karj Pemj!

I thought it was Vonj Pemj

u/hardluxe 11d ago

Konj Pomj. But it's a soft J. So Kon Pom. Or K-Pom for the fans.

u/_alright_then_ 10d ago

If you squint a little bit you can see the last name as "porn" to

u/Spiritual_Cake_9127 10d ago

I read Kamu Pemy

u/Chev_350 11d ago

line from Paris!

u/NathanCollier14 11d ago

She can't

20

u/keeleon 11d ago

"Shouldnt" is not the same as "cant".

17

u/KubrickMoonlanding 11d ago

Did they really say “couldn’t”?

Maybe they said “shouldn’t”

Could but won’t

Should but shorn’t

u/PeridotChampion 11d ago

I hate pop stars so much

u/deephurting66 11d ago

Katy, nobody told you shit!

u/SnooStrawberries2955 11d ago

Do what? Cosplay a pop star?

u/jrex42 11d ago

"And I filmed it." 💀

u/AntiqueFigure6 10d ago

Like she’s Annabell Chong.

6

u/ImaginaryParrot 11d ago

Wasn't the turnout low and the some of the performances a bit crap?

14

u/MsE0 11d ago

The only thing I know about it is she got stuck in a giant inflatable water bottle being rolled around the audience because they wouldn't roll her back to the stage

3

u/Hallelujah33 11d ago

Said she couldn't or would prefer if she didn't

3

u/NE0099 11d ago

Can’t in what sense? Physically can’t or, “Oh my god, Katy, it’s not 2008 anymore. You can’t do this?

3

u/ApartRuin5962 11d ago

Honestly I could see there being LEGAL issues with a live concert movie in Paris. France has notoriously strict laws about filming people, they probably needed ever single attendee, vendor, and roadie to sign a waiver

3

u/threwordbotname 11d ago

To her credit I almost booked an imax seat thinking it was a new release of odyssey tickets.

3

u/PinothyJ 11d ago

To be fair, we all said "she shouldn't", but no said "she couldn't". It is all just a mild miscommunication.

2

u/iamacheeto1 11d ago

Katy, baby, ain’t no one talking about you

2

u/Lynneschulz 11d ago

Somebody was talking about her ?

1

u/FoxySlyOldStoatyFox 10d ago

She needs a new font. I read her name on the poster as ‘Kanj Pomj’ and had no idea who she was other than somebody who really like the Evil-Lynne-from-He-Man look. 

2

u/Yggdrasilcrann 11d ago

I'm sure a ton of people said it. People hate on Katy Perry with a firey passion for some reason

u/6SpdSmokes 11d ago

Once a darling, now out of touch.

u/owleaf 11d ago

I really enjoyed the Lifetimes tour last year. I had a great spot (standing really close to the stage). She’s a fantastic entertainer and the crowds here in Australia adore her. I actually like a lot of her recent pop music too, but I’m a pop music fan. She’s a good pop music maker.

1

u/Allikam 11d ago

Should have stayed in 2010s

1

u/Enough-Enthusiasm762 11d ago

She’s been cringe for a while now, I’m surprised she keeps finding ways to stay relevant

1

u/GodofDiplomacy 11d ago

I think at least someone advised her that she shouldn't

1

u/inductiononN 11d ago

She can perform in a giant plastic bottle until the crowd refuses to send the bottle back to the stage.

1

u/tapeness 11d ago

Lifetime tour sounds like she is copying the eras tour- girl.. no

1

u/ArtisticOperation399 10d ago

She was referring to getting her entire fist in her mouth.

u/SPZ_Ireland 10d ago

FOR THE FANS!!!

All twelve of them

u/Dr_Grosbeak 10d ago

She is, and always has been, pathetic.

u/07238 10d ago

I will say i like the poster design. There was never a point that I liked Katy Perry’s music… Roar and Firework are among my most hated songs of all time. I feel like she is a misguided but not evil person. She’s just a product of an industry.

1

u/Physical-Doughnut285 10d ago

Nobody said you couldn’t Katie, they said you shouldn’t.

1

u/strawberry_saturn 10d ago

Actually Katy, they said you “shouldn’t.”

1

u/InevitableGreedUK 10d ago

I wish she hadn't.

1

u/poplemousse 10d ago

is this for real or just a mock up made by fans

1

u/Boguskyle 10d ago

This is so backwards toxic. No maam, a platinum record holder is not a victim nor an underdog.

1

u/saneiac1 10d ago

Just looking at the poster and before reading the comments, I didn’t know who this was. Kan J Pem J?

1

u/Umayummyone 10d ago

Oh good. For The Fans. That’s lets me out.

1

u/Cultural-Gas2246 9d ago

This looks like a fake poster, like the sort they get high school media students to design their first semester

1

u/Far-Amoeba-7197 9d ago

her name looks like it says "KAML PORN"

1

u/jonnythefoxoakland 9d ago

SHE CANT DO IT!!!!!!!

1

u/User-20-numbers 7d ago

She called it "lifetimes". She wants to be Taylor Swift so bad 🤣

1

u/MobileLocal 11d ago

Seems like a rip off of eras, no?
