While taking selfies with fans, a random person asks her "Katy is there is a reason why you work with Dr. Luke?" another person chimes in and says "isn't your album about women's empowerment? why are you working with

It's like her or her team tried to build a comeback/rebrand intended to capture the attention of younger queer audiences but forgot the tiny detail that said audiences are mostly chronically online and therefore up to date with these types of scandals that run-of-the-mill celebrities tend to brush past.

This. It's like they are not thinking things through and miscalculated. I really don't know how Katy can justify this to herself, let alone others about this. Like...

i do think it should be noted that a lot of those girls who do work with luke - either willingly or bc they're signed to his label - do have their fans bc they have an air of idgaf-ness about them. they also weren't promoting music they make as female empowerment anthems, they made bops and there is a huge audience that will forgive you as long as you make bops.

katy has always been a fairly earnest and goofy pop star, so her playing on that y2k-wannabe look fits badly and the song isn't good so people aren't bothering to try with it.

the y2k, charli xcx from shein look she's doing is weird and doesn't fit her at all lol

I never thought she was all that bright, but working with him really just highlights how dumb Katy is. I can't even begin to understand how she didn't foresee this kind of reaction.

[genbu_no_miko24]

I imagine she must think that the single is that good that it'll cause people to overlook the Dr.Luke part. Cause yeah people will critique choices but if it's a bop, then the reaction will be "omg she's so shitty buuuuut the song is GOOD 😩😩😩!!". That's here and on twitter.

But honestly from the snippets it sounds pretty generic and dated for what's out there rn.

I think it’s a mix of being incapable of critical thinking + not giving a fuck about people who were victimized by a predator whose work she likes. Very Lena Dunham with believe all victims except the ones raped by someone who’s my friend.

Also, I genuinely think we can never underestimate just how monumentally dumb Katy is.

i don't think she's dumb. dr luke is still producing music that sells. nicki minaj's super freak comes to mind. she wanted the hits, thought she could get in on the action on this side of things because it's worked for others, and it's just not mathing the way she thought it would. which... i guess she is dumb for thinking she could lol so oop nevermind

The gif! 🤣🤣

This is release is going really go bad. Her team is either going to limit interviews hand pick questions OR double down and stick her nose up while cosplaying Ariana and say And what about it🫤

LMAO I remember the day ONTD I think did a post about or there was a lot of information, the video and links about what was going on in the comments. People were having a Field Day

[fruitchews]

I thought it was super weird that Katy was suddenly in a bikini and flashing her ribs considering her previous eras. To know that she's been working with Luke is an absolute no go for this casual person. No thanks.

Go Kesha. As much as she can go, as much as she can cheer, go girl.
