Former media journalist reveals Katy Perry and Christina Aguilera’s downfalls were inorganic

[milotic2]

Former Observer & HuffPost journalist claims Katy Perry’s career decline was planned by “some people,” similar to how Christina Aguilera’s career was sabotaged.

pitchfork executives decided Katy wasn’t cool anymore

All I know is Pete Wentz and his dick is how I got here (and stayed 🤣).

No clue where I got the link to it/here but it has been a ride. A verrrry lonnnggg one.

I wonder if that post is still up! I doubt the picture survived (it is seared into my brain, anyway) but now I need to look!

Edit: I was wrong! That happened in 2006. I swear I was here before that. 😆

I'm finding weird shit omg

katy perry got a bad haircut, went on a disaster pr tour for Witness (does no one remember how self-indulgent and weird Witness Worldwide was? that was an ego trip), picked bad singles, and her styles of music went out of date. if you watch the Todd in the Shadows episode for Witness, you'll see what happened, and what he said was true. she's not a person who has super die hard stanbase.

her falling out didn't need to be orchestrated lol. the most obvious orchestrated anti-katy thing that happened that era was taylor making her music available on spotify again the same night katy's album dropped.

a similar thing happened to christina. pop music passed her by, it wasn't connecting to an audience anymore bc that audience had stars like gaga, someone that was doing interesting stuff, or like rihanna who was putting out stuff that set trends.

Justice for CHAINED TO THE RHYTHM.

genuinely a great fucking song, one of her best! if she hadn’t tagged it as like a political song, w/coining “purposeful pop” or performed it wearing a resist armband in front of a projection of the constitution (god the first year after the 2016 election feels like a fever dream) I feel like more people would’ve rushed to embrace it!

Sans the weird pronunciation of “Zombie”
