Katy Perry Fell Off

Show stopping flop after show stopping flop, Katy Perry has found a way to alienate her audience in every public move she's made recently.
In the beginning her music had a pop punk sound to it, she referenced Pete Wenz, she worked with 3OH!3, and she had the beginnings of a pop punk princess.
Now her music has become a beige pop nightmare, with none of the appeal her early music had. It even lacks the earworm quality of the music she released in the late 2010s. Chained To The Rhythm was an anthem.
Her latest album, though, would have left people underwhelmed if they remembered it. Featuring some spectacular artists like Doechii and Kim Petras you'd expect something notable, but you'd be left disappointed.
The most offensive part of the whole album was the first single, WOMAN'S WORLD. It's lame. After a four year hiatus people were Excited, so a song that wore a feminist mask and sounded like a MAGA anthem was a major let down.
Now she's collaborating with Jeff Bezos. Not musically, the man famously doesn't like music, but in space travel. The widely debated issue of private space travel has been falling into the background as more pressing issues have risen to the forefront, so this will likely go under discussed but I'm here to discuss. I, of course, am opposed.
By doing this Katy Perry takes a step towards normalising this. She's normalising status and wealth based space travel. She's normalising the idea that we can escape earth eventually. We can't.
And what isn't communicated here is, even if people can escape, it's them not us.
All this indicates one thing: she no longer cares about the people. She's making corporate music, digestible, unconfrontational, and inoffensive. She's running with billionaires, who are in essence a different species to the average person.
She's no longer a true artist, but instead a cog in a machine driving us into a doomed world.
