Dazed review was brutal as well: https://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/63107/1/katy-perrys-womans-world-dr-luke-the-epitome-of-2010s-girlboss-feminism

During Perry’s imperial phase, this 2012-era white liberal feminism might have passed. In the context of 2024, though, it feels reductive. “Woman’s World” sounds like it was designed by a committee in a boardroom at Capitol Records whose sole objective was a sync on RuPaul’s Drag Race and generating comments of “you ate” from white gays living in West Hollywood. It is female empowerment filtered through the lens of a Ryan Murphy show.

Lol

EVISCERATING

and generating comments of “you ate” from white gays living in West Hollywood

How many ontd gays are feeling called out?

[gimmemoarjosh]

Not me. I don't support rapists. I'm a survivor myself and have always been on Keshas side.

I'm tired of this "white gays" trope.

At least I'm tired of hearing about it while I struggle with addiction and suicidal ideation, daily.

This shit doesn't help.

You people fucking suck.

Hi bb! I just wanted to let you know that even though I don’t know you, I’m proud of you. I hope today has been a more peaceful day for you, and that the grip of addiction lessens as each day goes by. I’m rooting for you, and I’m already so proud of the work you’ve done already. You are so strong and I look forward to the day when I see you comment about being in a better place

Me and Britney love you!

[gimmemoarjosh]

Awe, you're too sweet! But thank you, I very much appreciate your kind words.

Thankfully, I've been doing much better since that comment. I tend to come here when I'm not in a great headspace, which leads to comments like that, unfortunately.

I hope you're doing well yourself. You're a very kind person and I appreciate you! ❤️

what's crazy is it sounds like there were better options on the album so who thought woman's world was a good idea

Lifetime is probably the best one, but it sounds very 2016.

Which isn't terrible but...idk how that would do in 2024, chart-wise and stream-wise.

[belle_chouette]

I think it could go well, the kids are yearning for danceable music

[skankyoulater]

I thought gorgeous sounded like what the kids were into... 2 years ago...

[celinaghost]

and why was trisha paytas in the video? needed more than one rape apologist?

[sorryeden]

If Taylor Swift is the Walmart of Pop then Katy Perry is the Toys R Us.

[pciam]

Why are we disparaging Toys R Us 😫

[dustbunny105]

Well, they did just recently come out with that awful AI-generated commercial.

[hallyujah]

Mte, Toys R Us never killed a nun (to the best of my knowledge).
