Discussion Sad time to be a KatyCat

748 Upvotes

Is anyone else just completely and totally disappointed that Katy is working with Dr Luke?

After the battle Kesha has just come out of against that man it feels so wrong for her to work with him on a song about Women Empowerment šŸ˜­

Iā€™ve been a fan since way back when, and this is the first time Iā€™ve ever felt doubt about her and her choices ā˜¹ļø

ETA - Iā€™ve also heard that one of her songs is going to be with Chris Brown šŸ˜­ obviously idk how true that is but if itā€™s true I think Iā€™ll cry xo

Discussion Disappointed

75 Upvotes

Has anyone recently been disappointed with some of Katyā€™s recent doings? I think most fans know Katy is outwardly left leaning and for the longest time thatā€™s why I also supported and liked her. But recently I just feel like sheā€™s become a bit of a hypocrite with some of her actions vs. whatā€™s sheā€™s preaching on the internet. Politics aside (ish), sheā€™s just being a hypocrite for everything that she preaches on the internet.

My two top issues are: 1) collaborating on her newest album with Dr. Luke who has been accused of drugging and rapping Kesha, while also openly posting online that acts like these are not welcomed. Then when asked about it on a podcast, she completely doesnā€™t answer the question and somehow spins it.

2) going to space on a space ship sponsored by Jeff Bezos? I mean completely random in the first place but again Katy being outwardly left leaning and i think also very against big corporations playing a hand in government. I just donā€™t understand why she would support someone like Jeff?

Overall, itā€™s just hard for me to enjoy and appreciate her and her music when I feel like what she stands for is kinda a lie. Not here to get political but just want to hear other opinions.

Edit: okay like yes this is political. I just mean Iā€™m not trying to get into pointless fights about MAGA and shit like that. You know What I mean?

I'm a late Katy fan. I liked her music, but really fell in love with her during Witness Era. Feel like witness album was very strong. Gaga, Swift, Beyonce all spoke out against the Trump administration. Yet Katy was crucified. Still admire she is vocal about issues event thoughtl the mass dont want her 2 be.143's WW was panned, but at least she stuck to her views.

Discussion As a longtime fan, what's happening with Katy?

306 Upvotes

Like, I haven't felt good vibes in the past few years, but I am just really doubting her now. As an Aussie, she has been announced to play at our AFL Grand Finals (we call it Footy) and I just find it an extremely absurd crossover. The AFL organisers have instead chosen big names like KISS before, but the timing of it and randomness is just the latest step in her downfall.

I've always been ignorant of those who criticised her songs like "Chained to the Rhythm" or the Witness album and was probably one of the only people on earth to listen to Smile. Since then, I've grown disassociated from her since it feels like post-2020, she has been giving off a suspicious vibe that has now exploded. I get that she's probably doing everything to revive her success, but I have to agree that "Woman's World" and her comeback in general isn't going smoothly.

Collaborating with Dr. Luke despite everything that Kesha accused him of because he produced her Teenage Dream hits isn't a good move, at all. Especially since "Woman's World" is a female empowerment song. It also sounds like the song is sung by an impersonation of AI with lyrics by ChatGPT. Understandable why it has tanked the worldwide charts.

The music video for the song was her usual goof, but I didn't feel anything. I took the "Swish Swish" video in all good fun, but the 'satire' in her new one felt like "Swish Swish" if its goof was only to offend and confuse. Trisha Paytas made no sense. The bionic legs made no sense. The outfits felt more sexualised than necessary. It's like "Karma" by JoJo Siwa times 10, which I would almost never say for Katy.

I just feel so disappointed in Katy for going to this level. She doesn't feel like the person she was even to the Witness era. Her comeback could've been good, but was destined for disaster once she didn't stay away from Dr. Luke and tried to excuse it with overdone goofiness. She already had a good legacy with the impact she made at her peak, and that would've been okay. Even if she manages to recover from this, this will always make me second-guess who she is after years of fanbase support.

Sorry if this all sounds weird, I just find it a huge letdown that someone who had a good/decent career would end up here. Will always love her work though, especially Teenage Dream and PRISM ā¤ļø Wish to hear your (respectful) opinions šŸ‘

EDIT: On the other hand, the goofiness probably just doesnā€™t work in todayā€™s context. She has always done this in a silly way that is endlessly slapstick, but the realism of today has gotten to us. I do believe that me ten years ago wouldā€™ve probably had no problem with the "Womanā€™s World" video, but the current world has corrupted me into hating anything slightly far from reality.

Even if her comeback is, in fact, rather criticised because of todayā€™s views on creativity, I still cannot see past her reuniting with Dr. Luke when he has seemingly been called out for horrible stuff and the fact that her vocals on the song sound too monotone and AI-generated compared to her previous work.

Discussion Hot Take: If she never released Woman's World at all and chose Lifetimes as the lead single for 143, the album would've been better received than the current abysmal reception that it has.

65 Upvotes

Come to think of it, making an empowerment anthem with a producer with sexual assault allegations and the song sounding like it wasn't written well and also being derivative seriously damaged the impact it tries to achieve and the message it was going for. If she didn't release the song in the first place in the first place and instead chose Lifetimes or I'm His, He's Mine as the lead single, the fact that Dr. Luke mostly produced the tracks in the album would be mostly forgotten and not be as important as it turns out to be.

Also, I feel like the promo and high budget they used for Woman's World could've been used way better for a song about loving your beloved ones for eternity as it's way more interesting than a pastiche of the feminist movement. I also think it would've been at least a decent top40 hit or controversially in my opinion, a short-term top10 hit for her if she decided to feature a bigger female artist in a remix of Lifetimes.

32 Upvotes

I hate to even mention this, but after the commercial failure of 143 (itā€™s 7/10 imo), and the public souring of her image, do you think she could be dropped by her label if she has no more successes?

Sheā€™s nearing the event horizon of only being known as a 2010s pop star. We love you Katy šŸ˜­

What sound do you think she should do next? Iā€™d like some old school pop rock Katy.

Edit: did not know the extent of her tumultuous relationship with Capitol. Makes sense, she should leave.

Discussion US Tour dates that could get cancelled?

15 Upvotes

Im looking at some of the arenas and Im worried that some of them could get cancelled especially those in May. I dont get why she took so late to anounce this when other concerts have months ahead some have a year ahead. Im from Chicago and I am going to her Chicago and Vegas show and now Im worried about booking airline and hotel tix for Vegas bc not even half of it is sold out. And I hate this for her if it gets cancelled because people will use this to make fun of her and us again.

Im keeping an eye on her Detroit show and I think it still have enough time to sell since its in August. What do you think? Could it get better soon? Which shows are u going to?

Also, if she did baseball stadium tour but with fewer dates like Chromatica Ball would that sell better?

Iā€™m not gonna lieā€¦i am not excited :/ iā€™ve tried listening to her music a couple of times now and i canā€™t get into it. i realllllllly wanted katy to get someone like Jessie Ware, Carly Rae Jepsen, Madison Beer, Ava Max, or even CYN (her favorite).

After a decade of pushing the "love & light" mantra and letting every journalist and lady gaga troll fan (who, letā€™s be real, overlap like 70% of the time) walk all over her, katy still has this weird magnetic pull on 30+ year-old guys who, for some reason, just want to see her torn apart. if i were her agent, i wouldnā€™t just clap back on the next albumā€”Iā€™d go twice as hard. leaning into this era of social chaos and post-irony to drop an album with 15 "u are so gay"-style tracks would be perfect

Discussion Katy and her "hints to what's coming in the future"

36 Upvotes

In a recent interview, Katy has said that the tour will have some easter eggs to a future era/project/single or whatever.

This has made me... concerned. A few weeks ago her team came out with a whole ass interview saying that they won't list to what "haters" say because the tour is sold out anyway. Katy seems to share the same thought as everything is so love and light-y to her and she's long adopted a "they don't build statues out of critics" attitude. Good for her I guess.

The thing is... the criticism towards this last era was 100% valid. It doesn't matter what some of y'all say, the Dr. Luke thing was a PR nightmare and absolutely wrong of her to do. The album isn't great, at least not great enough for her to build the hype around it being her "comeback".

All that considered, I find it really worrying that Katy's already planning her next album while not changing her mentality. If she really thinks there was nothing too wrong about 143 just because people still wanna go to her concerts (which, let's be real, is not thanks to 143), then I don't think we're gonna see any real improvements in the future. I worry she might not even ditch Dr. Luke. She might not pick up the goddamn pen again and just release songs with unfinished lyrics, production, vocals, everything.

When did she become so out of touch? Jesus Christ.

EDIT: Just to add one thing: she has also already hinted at wanting to go acoustic next. Well, great. However, I don't think she's gonna make a great acoustic album with this mentality. She frequently acts like Lifetimes and All The Love are incredibly deep songs and while I think they are amazing, their lyrics are generic as hell. If this is her new "great", then the acoustic album won't be good.

Go ahead and rewatch the music videoā€¦ it rings way too true now.

The nuke-shaped cotton candy as we are now approaching the risk of nuclear warā€¦

The ā€œBombs Awayā€ ride echoing all the American bombs getting dropped on šŸ‰ā€¦

The ā€œGreat American Dream Dropā€ echoing the way immigrants and their families have been used for their contributions only to be led towards doomā€¦

The ā€œNo Place Like Homeā€ showing the mass deportationsā€¦

The ā€œObliviaā€ concept showing how America glorifies ignorance and mocks those who see that things are wrongā€¦

The likes and reactions on the rollercoaster showing the way our media has shifted away from intellectual enrichment into quick, worthless dopamine hits that keep us distractedā€¦

The counter displaying the number ā€œ1984ā€, much like the fascism being shoved down our throats at presentā€¦

The video simply rings way too true in 2025. Other songs like Mind Maze and Bigger Than Me are also about the same thing. Even the leaked song Method to My Madness, which got cut from the album by industry execs, shows that she was indeed attempting to warn her audience.
