There are bigger fish to fry, and there are real problems in the world. And I love her, and I want the best for her. God bless her. The livestream concludes with Swift giving an outdoor concert for her fans.
With these two, who knows. In the comments, Swift replies with a comment of her own, a bunch of pink emoji hearts. In an interview with BBC Radio after the music video debuted, Swift explained that she asked Perry to make a cameo in the video after the two reconciled. Swift also said that she was inspired for them to dress as a burger and fries after seeing Perry in the Moschino burger dress at the Met Gala after party.
And she thought it was really funny and so we did it. And I think that the metaphor of us searching for someone who you have something in common with, and then seeing them and having it originally represented is funny. No such luck, as Swift ultimately unveiled an unremarkable pop song about being yourself. The music and video — a rare Swift collaboration with Panic!
The song peaked at No. The critical reception has also been the worst of her career. But the song and accompanying video, which features Perry floating around a field in hippie muumuus while she sings about a never-ending relationship, initially trended on YouTube but quickly fizzled out.
Perry and Swift used to effortlessly dominate the conversation as they sent their sonic earworms shooting up the charts and into gyms and Starbucks everywhere.
At some point, striving for the biggest audience starts sucking the fun and whimsy out of pop. She dominated the mid-aughts with her cotton candy dreamworld, singing about California girls and teenage dreams. A generous reading would be that she was referring to the mindlessness of the white suburbia that elected Donald Trump.
Both artists, like Perry, debuted in In my opinion, if Perry took the following steps, she could see success again. Next, she should update her sound. She has grown up, and so have her fans. Perry also tends to put her foot in her mouth , especially on Twitter, and is often criticized by fans for appearing tone deaf.
Listening to her fans and her PR team, as well as being more careful with her words could do a lot for improving her reputation with the public. Many artists have dealt with commercial failure and come back stronger than ever.
I know I would be. Cancel reply. Your email address will not be published. Katy was part of my childhood. A light disco resurgence may be brewing—BTS just strutted to No.
Almost nothing creates the sucrose high of Teenage Dream ; almost nothing sounds as if Smurfette might sing it. The recent state of commercial music has led to much commentary arguing that pop is dying, dead, or dormant. In one sense, yes. But pop also refers to a compositional tradition, one with go-to chords, structures, and tropes.
This type of pop prizes easily enjoyed melodies and sentiments; it moves but does not challenge the hips and the feet. It is omnivorous, and will spangle itself with elements of rock, rap, country, or whatever else it wants without losing its essential pop-ness. Pop has seemed to die and be reborn many times. When the 21st century arrived, the music industry was near the historical peak of its profitability —in part because of slick sing-alongs catering to teenagers and written by grown-up Swedes.
Around the same time, women such as Pink, Kelly Clarkson, Ashlee Simpson, and Avril Lavigne began scoring hits inspired by mosh pits but more appropriate for malls.
Gwen Stefani moved from rock-band frontwoman to dance-floor diva during this period as well. Such performers, though often assisted by the same producers and songwriters who helped mold Spears, flaunted unruly personalities to a reality-TV-guzzling public hungry for a kind of curated grit.
Katy Perry capped off this rock-pop boomlet. The California-born Katheryn Hudson had kicked around the music industry for years, first as a Christian singer—her parents were traveling evangelists—and then as an Alanis Morissette—worshipping songwriter. She finally hit on a winning combo of sounds for One of the Boys , her delicious major-label debut, whose spiky rhythms, crunching guitars, sneering vocals, and juvenile gender politics earned her a spot on the Warped Tour , a punk institution.
