@jnralyuncertain People act like she has no options left, but Katy has nearly two decades of iconic looks to pull from. Between past tour outfits and new takes on classic eras, she probably has more than enough outfit inspiration for her European festival run.
@fametrilogy I don’t know what condition your ears are in, but Katy Perry has spent nearly two decades proving she has one of the most distinctive voices in pop. Try again.
Not me going from curious to OBSESSED… Watch It Burn did that. 😭 The live performance is a solid 12/10. First performance and she already sounds THAT good? Yeah, she came to serve.
@kuanri13@BebeRexha What gets me is how some of y’all will spend all day online degrading women, mocking female artists, pitting women against each other, and recycling misogynistic talking points, then turn around and expect solidarity when you face discrimination yourselves.
@zvmbieboy It’s always the same people screaming “support women” until it’s time to talk about a female artist they don’t like. Then suddenly it’s misogyny Olympics on the timeline. And Katy Perry a Temu version? Have you actually looked at her catalog or are we just saying words today?
@Factsaboutkp I wrote down some of my thoughts about the release and the rollout. Maybe you see it the same way, or maybe it sparks a different perspective or some new thoughts. Either way, I’d love to hear your take. ✨

So maybe we should wait. Hear the song. Hear the lyrics. Understand the message. Then judge. Let Mother explain the assignment first 💅 We can praise it, drag it, stream it or ignore it but at least react to what it actually is. ✨

Lowkey, I think that’s why she chose this rollout. She gave people a little insight into her mindset before the internet turned it into another discourse war. Once social media decides a meaning, it’s almost impossible to change the conversation.
6/ 🧵
Katy has always been camp, dramatic, theatrical and extra af. That’s literally part of her artistry. But people also love projecting entire narratives onto her work before understanding the intention behind it.

some people saw three words and started doing Olympic-level mental gymnastics 😭 Can we hear the actual song first? Judging a track before knowing the lyrics is giving “reading the headline and skipping the article” energy.
4/ 🧵
So when Katy talked about feeling angry and frustrated, I think that context matters. The title doesn’t automatically tell the whole story. Maybe it’s about rage, broken systems, personal struggles or something we haven’t understood yet.
Maybe the interview Tell US more

We’re living in a time where the world feels like it’s constantly burning. Wars, bombings, the genocide in Gaza/Palestine, the situation in Lebanon, Iran, Israel and global tensions are affecting people deeply. Anger and frustration are real emotions rn.
2/ 🧵
Let’s talk about “WATCH IT BURN” for a sec. Y’all… context matters. A LOT. People saw the title and immediately created 500 theories, but maybe that’s exactly why Katy explained the emotions behind it beforehand.
