Katy Perry - why has she gone full on sexual!

104 replies

Again today talking about sucking her husbands d#@k after he does the dishes. The other week nude pap photos and a few weeks back dressing with everything hanging out. Is this her PR machine making her relevant, stand out...as Swifty's grabbing all the limelight?

Same reason why Lady Gaga and Jewel turned to sexualised pop. It was the only path to world wide success. It's pratically mandatory. Same thing for influencers. Looks and a sexy/sexualised image is everything. Women who don't are pretty much invisible.

Not Taylor Swift though, probably one of the reasons why she's so popular as she hasn't gone down that road.

Desperation.

Bad advice from PR people and record company.

Actually Katy Perry has had a huge audience in very young girls who liked Roar etc so it’s mega depressing it’s all so porny now
also to be married to horrible Russell Brand and come out the other side. And now this. It’s really sad.

BrigadierEtienneGerard · 05/09/2024 08:14

Desperation, sheer desperation. Woman's coming to the end of her shelf life on SM and knows it.

Pedallleur · 05/09/2024 08:15

Sex sells except when it doesn't. Then you have nothing

Spenditlikebeckham · 05/09/2024 08:17

Was the comment about stooping so low deliberate??? She has dc ffs. Surely they don't want to read about this when they are teens. Oo let's Google dm.... Grim.

Adele seems to be doing ok

MountUnpleasant · 05/09/2024 08:19

Some women act like this after sexual assault. And she was married to Russell Brand, so...

That's really interesting, I'm out of touch so it's good to know notvall have gone down that route. I've always wondered why they needed to given they were already successful

TheBeesKnee · 05/09/2024 08:21

You're allowed to say dick here.

She's always been quite sexual?

Plus she's under fire for working with Dr Luke so it might be a ploy to distract from that.

Huh?

3luckystars · 05/09/2024 08:21

It’s a bit cringe alright.

longdistanceclaraclara · 05/09/2024 08:22

Desperation. Her new album has flopped.

It's all Taylor everywhere

There's a reason for that, TS is hugely talented.

Thebellofstclements · 05/09/2024 08:31

It's the whiff of desperation.

Adele can sing

Mabs49 · 05/09/2024 08:36

She’s lost relevance. Her latest album/hits have been a flop. She’s trying to catch attention with raunch. Desperados…

I was responding to a post that said sexualising yourself was the only path to success and women who don't are invisible.

Sleepersausage · 05/09/2024 08:43

I agree, she seems to have gone a bit weird tbh which is a shame. And if she's doing it for the views and the sales it's not working as her song flopped

I agree with you.

Her records no longer sell. She's desperate.

KenAdams · 05/09/2024 08:50

Adele and Taylor Swift are both extremely successful without going down this path. I wonder what they have that works that hasn't worked for others?

autumnbake · 05/09/2024 08:54

I’ve been wondering this OP.

She’s behaving repulsively lately - the weird sexual comment, dressing as if she’s in her early 20’s, half naked all the time, weird new song.

I don’t understand her, or other pop stars who resort to these sexual disgusting tactics. Katy has a beautiful baby, and millions in the bank, isnt that enough for her? Can’t she retire with dignity
