Hyperbole sells. Epic, genius, huge. Started with folks getting a laugh, now it’s the norm. Use the wrong words, pretty soon they don’t have much value.
I feel artist have a shelf life. Most pop artists will stuggle when they hit 30s. Its something that happens. If your main image is a stunning body and the tightest costumes then again this cant last forever... Lovato, beyonce, gaga.... all replaced by olivia, dua and ariana...
I think it was because she cut her hair tbh. Im actually a fan of hers and i didn’t like it that much but if that made her happy i didn’t really care much. But witness was a good album because it talked about many things, the single’s her label chose to put out were not it
Yeah I agree. I think she also said that she doesn't wanna be "Katy Perry" anymore, she wanted to be "Katheryne Hudson" again hence the going back to blonde but she blew up being Katy Perry so the change in image did make her fade away.
Dude should also do some fucking research imo it wasn't as sudden as he clams people generally didn't like chained to the rhythm since people felt it was hypocritical for a pop star to write a song about pop music being a distraction from real issues also this was during the switch from radio to video which is why the videos have over a billion views but didn't do well on the charts
“Ruined their career” is the dumbest term you can use on her, it didn’t ruin her career it’s just didn’t make the expected numbers, plus she was speaking about her feelings and people weren’t feeling and she was focused on other things such as more importantly her. She was focusing on the important stuff More importantly she is successful and financially stable, more importantly now she’s a mom what else would she need
@@michael-pg8fi Look any any bands, most unkmown. Band such as Runrig who formed in 1973, didn't see some chart success til much later. I love Gaelic music, do you think they oftern they chart success no? Are they successful yes. It's because people heard of her. Some unsigned artists start of writing and don't get noticed and many still don't.
Katy still has a career doing other things. I'm sure she's extremely wealthy. She can do whatever she wants now. She seems to really enjoy being a judge for Idol and she's very popular. I actually like her more since she started doing Idol
Exactly. She’s a businesswoman. Knowing the fact that her fans are older now and that it’s impossible to tour with a baby, she did the smart thing and started a Vegas show that brought her $158 million, and has now been renewed for the summer for even more. Being #1 in the charts is not making you much money nowadays if you’re not touring.

The beginning makes me wanna rip my skin off. It's that irritating 😭 the rest of the song is okay, though, but nowhere near as good as her previous songs!
I don't think any song ruined her career, I think she just did some bad interviews and became a meme for a hot minute. She had that interview with Degrasse Tyson that wasn't very good, she had that like "they think you're happy" meme circulating, and I think she did a few interviews on some talk shows where she was just being silly and she didn't fit people's fantasy of who they thought she was. And I think all of this Era stemmed from that one song where she had "boxer beaids" and people called her out for culturally appropriating, which she acknowledged and apologized for, and not long after that we saw her with short blonde hair. I'd like to take this yime to mention that I don't listen to KP at all, and I don't know why my brain has retained all of this useless information.

When Katy cut her hair short and dyed it blonde, everyone started to say she was going through her Miley Cyrus phase and that's what pretty much made people kinda not care so much about Katy, plus her fued with Taylor swift and her trying to be in the likeness of the Kardashians made her look like one of those extreme pick me girls and then people thought she was cringe ASF especially with that swish swish song and bon appetit..

It was Swish, Swish because of her mental breakdown and her petty fight with Taylor Swift, and y'all just slept on Smile. It could've been number 1 if it wasn't slept on.
@Alyssa Lol FYI Taylor Swift never flopped to this date. You must be living under a rock because Taylor Swift has been successful in multiple genres while Katy Perry slowly faded over time.
@@rachsmith3479 TBF, Taylor's still young, she still has a lot of years to be famous. Hollywood is really hard on female artists. Once that young, slim look fade away (female artists specifically), people will shift on someone younger. Nowadays, I always see Olivia Rodrigo and Billie Eilish. In addition to that, music taste changes through the years.
Lots of artists flop or take a dip when they get political in their music, which honestly makes perfect sense. If a fan disagrees they won't listen to the song and will make assumptions about new ones, plus music is meant to be escapism, people just don't wanna listen to music that reminds them how stressful the world is, even Eminem took a slight dip when he went political.
Sometimes music is meant to be escapism. Other times it’s about the songwriter’s thoughts/feelings on a particular subject. Sometimes people like political music. My parents (who are Boomers) told me that political songs were VERY popular in the 1960’s and 70’s. But maybe it’s just the difference between Boomers and Zoomers.
@@rebecca8525 exactly! Sometimes i want an escape but other times i want to listen to songs that relate to how im feeling or because i agree with whats said. I mean party/escape music is fun and thats why its popular but i prefer relating to the song
Sometimes it’s not even about artists getting political, but that their approach is tone deaf and awful. Take Madonna’s “American Life” for example. A song about how she embodies the american dream and is still not happy (fair enough) because she can’t get her latte. It was her last top charting single.
Piper Adams..depends on the band/Artist. Your speaking of mainstream commercial music. But there’s plenty of political bands that are well like and made a career from political music.
"Chained to the rhythm" is so great, the lyrics and the music video as well.. so many images of what's going on in our society. Def one of my fav song from her.
I think it was too political for some people. It was written in response to the 2016 U.S. presidential election. It probably alienated some of her fans who had different political views and others who, as you said, just wanted fun songs. But the fun, carefree time of the Obama administration was over, and her songs reflected the change.
@@rebecca8525 fun carefree time of Obama? Do you not remember 6 of them 8 years were absolutely miserable with no jobs. No you probably don't because everyone lives in the moment and forgets the past.
Sure…that’s why Tupac Shakur’s albums broke sale’s records and were number one on Billboard. There’s truth and then there’s this politically motivated woke garbage. Don’t conflate them.
She's still going strong, I dont think her career is "ruined." Whatever the charts say, me and millions of people continue to support her music. I loved Bon Appetit and Swish Swish. This is How We Do is a banger.
Omg ikr! I was so confused watching this video saying her career flopped just because they’re not top 1 hits or something doesn’t mean they’re not amazing, tho I don’t keep up with her songs the ones I do listen to are amazing imo
And Harleys in Hawaii! It's so good. I feel like Katy was thought of as kind of a joke a few years ago and only recently has been started to be taken more seriously again
I don’t expect any singer to have a consistent top 10 streak, everything changes, but she hasn’t “Flopped” she created a good album that didn’t gain as much attention as the previous ones and that’s fine, they are still amazing Plus maybe she’s just taking a break, it doesn’t mean she’s hidden from society, she’s just living life
@@FLRSKLVR ofcourse it is minus other career options like acting or business which most singers venture into, earn a lot and doesnt focus much on singing anymore. The best example is rihanna.
@Alyssa she’s not as popular as she was way back that’s true but she’s still beloved by many people, she’s not getting number 1s anymore but she still makes quality music, there’s a lot more competition than there used to be, she isn’t in the game that much anymore, I wouldn’t say she’s flopped I’d just say she’s stepping back, she’s got more going on in her private life right now,
she did flop. it’s sad to admit but it’s true. does it mean that her music is bad now? no, her music is still good, it’s just not successful and that’s okay
She has already made her name in iconic pop star history, she has played at the Super Bowl, she doesn’t need another number one hit. Everyone knows Katy Perry and her songs will be played years and years from now. Just like every other huge pop star during that time. It was the golden era of pop music.
It's because her fans are adults now, every celebrity goes through it especially when you've been in the music industry for over nearly 15 years like she has.
To be fair, 15 years was a good run. Hell, look at Lady Gaga. Hardly anyone was talking about her either. If anything out of this, the worse thing that can happen to anybody in the music industry is becoming a one-hit wonder and fall out of fashion for after one year! 😮💨
@@DJVirgoNeun1 Lady gaga is 15 years in the industry too they both started in 2008 so what do you mean ? People copy lady gaga now and even back then katy and nicki were the biggest copy cats of her lol look at how doja, lil nas and many of the new celebrities copy her, she's a legend and icon she changed the industry music and fashion.😅
@@DJVirgoNeun1 I love Katy perry old music Teenage dream is an amazing album still. I don't know know people say she's irrelevant because she's not just because you aren't in the media as much doesn't mean she isn't loved.
@@nameisamine Katy Perry's pop style (EDM influenced bop) music & EDM (dubstep) are out of fashion now. These stuff are decade old. I grew up with these stuff man, i miss it. Also soundcloud rap is beginning to fade away too. Also RIP. Lil Peep, Juice WRLD, XXXTENTACION
Combination of many things. Mostly her physical appearance image change, the quality of the music and writing went down tremendously, the passion in the music wasn’t there, she became extremely political which also turned a lot of people off who weren’t into the politics she was preaching.
But comparing to her other hits on Teenage Dream and Prism. It was kinda floppy and didn't have that much promotion. Witness did well but when she released Smile. That's where it started going downhill
@@nexus7819 that flopped it was good though but yeah thank her attitude and Twitter comments coming out from back in the day bullying pop singer rynn weaver, saying she hopes sky Ferreira baby don't look like a monkey on Twitter making fun of spears, lady Gaga's artpop album flopping on a live radio station and the list goes on it's not her music lmao...LADY GAGA DOESNT DO THIS THATS WHY SHES DOING WRLL
I would never say a song ruined someone's career. I believe that all artists, especially if they write they're ow. Stuff, hits a point when they just slowly stop appealing to their audience as they get older and newer artist come out. I have noticed that the younger your audience the more they tend to follow what's hot and trending. The song didn't kill her career. She just isn't appealing to the young audiences. But her career isn't over. She still has a large base of loyal fans.
@Alyssa Katy Perry came from a poor family so there was no nepotism there. She struggled for years with her small band until she blew up. She was worked to the bones.
@Alyssa it happens all the time, the industry has favorites and pushes them for a certain time until they get old, people like nicki minaj is an example when cardi became the industry favorite and pushed super hard and nicki stopped being played on radio and stuff
I really miss the Prism Katy era, that album was literally my childhood. A couple days ago, I heard a few notes of “Birthday” playing on the radio (as in, how the stations “tease” the songs, not the full thing) , and that song is currently my most watched RUclips video. Memories came flooding back
the reason she flipped was the change of hair..she probably would’ve been so successful as before if she didn’t change the hair color..but she didn’t want to change just because people want her to..as she sings “ they told me that i’m crazy..But I never let them change me”
@@Appaddict01 Demi right now is just the carcass of who she was. She is gone completely crazy. She wasn't better before tho. A bully full of herself. Toxic.
To be fair, idk if it was just my primary school at the time but if we had a disco, we would always play those songs and Swish Swish still lands to be one of my fav’s from Katy Perry.
You nailed it when you said Primary School. Older ppl who were her big paying audience, who bought her tickets and albums were not into her later basic music. That teen and tween money is sweet. But if you are targeting tween and younger, you are also talking to their parents. She is asking the parents or guardians of her fans for $$$. But yeah there was a lot going on besides one crap song.
I really liked Chained to the Rhythm, the rest of the album not so much. Also her 2019 single Never Really Over was really good too, one of my favourite Katy Perry songs.
Those were some of my favorite songs tho!!! Chained has an actual message! I loved it sooooo much. It’s the quality of listening people that’s the problem!!! Not her! Omg
So … because people decide to expand their tastes and may see her as an artist that they’re just not interested in anymore, it’s their fault? what kind of weird ass stan logic is that? That’s not how this works. Not every single artist will put out great albums. Even MJ had a few bad apples that didn’t do so hot. What you personally may find to have an “actual message”, others will see it as moral grandstanding or babbling that they don’t want to hear coming from a multi-million dollar popstar. What you may immensely enjoy, others will groan at. What one will find as a great album, another will believe it deserves an even lower spot on the chart. That’s just how it is - that’s how _reality_ works. Don’t blame the audience for not liking someone’s music merely because you enjoy it. We’re humans, not robots.
Hated that song, didn’t feel like her at all. It felt very producer composed to meet (then) current trends. I couldn’t even tell it was her until someone told me it was her.
Chained to the Rhythm is not only my favorite Katy Perry song, it’s one of my favorite songs just in general. One of the only songs I can put on repeat and never get sick of. Skip Marley kicks ass on it too 🎉
Ok but can we talk about how the real reason her music doesn't hit different anymore is bc she stopped working with Dr Luke. We all know her previous albums were produced by him, and witness was her first to not be produced by him. I'm not saying she should work with him again bc I know he's an awful person, but I'm just pointing out the obvious.
yeah but she's still working with max martin and his team who co wrote and co produced all of her hits. the problem is that people always want someone new. and when women reach certain age and become mothers they tend to lose popularity.
Sometimes when you make great album it is hard to have a follow up that will match it, as there will be expectations and sometimes people already got acclimated to the sound...
The thing is her all witness era was not liked by everyone, they didn't like how drastically she changed, I myself stopped listening to her because of how terrified I was of her
Chained to the rhythm was my fave of all her songs next to E.T. I especially loved that Skip Marley was on it and I wish he had more to the song. I think what crushed her was her look and the American idol stint. Something about her vibe changed absolutely but I can’t be sure because I didn’t follow her too closely. At the time there were also new singers coming up to compete with so
I think every artist has a “shelf life”. Their commercial appeal will eventually fade. I think that’s a more realistic reason why Katy Perry hasn’t had a major hit since “Chained to the Rhythm”.
It’s funny, because in my opinion WITNESS is her best album EVER. So creative, so pleasantly surprising. You must be right about Americans disliking songs that mention political issues. Look what happened when Madonna released AMERICAN LIFE.
Americans don’t necessarily mind politics in music, but they don’t like being preached to by self-righteous morons who live in an ivory tower and jabber on about things well above their IQ level. Working class people have zero time for know-it-all types with a silver spoon lodged in their rectum.
@@LilithsCosmicLounge You clearly don't understand what makes most celebrities happy. It's not the money cause clearly they have tons, it's attention. And let's be real, she isn't getting much attention these days.
Ok I’m a metalhead and I really think “Witness” is one of the heaviest records out there, songs like “Mind Maze” or “Chained To The Rhythm” sound “real”.
The early 2010s like 2010,11,12,13 and 14 is literally her supreme prime years tho, every song of her is a global hit like roar, the one that got away, last friday night, dark horse and california gurls
People should realize that it's the media that's directly responsible for public awareness of *any* topic or subject, if you're a fan of an artist, the best thing you can do to support them is spread that awareness yourself to hopefully plant the seeds that will spread
Chained to the rhythm is the song that got me into music, and no it did not ruin anything that album is so nostalgic for so many people in my age its kinda crazy
Also what's your portfolio look like rn? Im long crypto and a few select stocks, and short tech and short real estate, probably until December at least im guessing. Always curious about other traders since I kinda do my own thing.
It's probably for clout but "ruined her career" when she still charts in the top 50. Not being in the Top 10 doesn't mean you're a flop. When was the last time you remember Snoop Dog Charting? Is he a "flop" too.
Maybe her newer stuff didn’t catch as hard as times are changing. She is a powerful force to be reckoned with in music and performance. She ran with the best to ever do it

It was the image change. Her "Bette Paige" dark hair big eyes looked great. The blond hair turned ppl off
A woman should be allowed to do with her hair whatever she wants. Katy was tired of being a popstar and wanted to do something different.
@@Red-hy2wp of course no doubt about that but a lot of ppl didn't like her image change.
@@Red-hy2wp She can do whatever she wants but people can also react however they want.
She has the most buggy un even eyes I can’t stand her face

It was Swish, Swish because of her mental breakdown and her petty fight with Taylor Swift, and y'all just slept on Smile. It could've been number 1 if it wasn't slept on.
Smile is literally a song intro for a news channel here in Australia
@Alyssa Lol FYI Taylor Swift never flopped to this date. You must be living under a rock because Taylor Swift has been successful in multiple genres while Katy Perry slowly faded over time.
Completely agree.
@@rachsmith3479 TBF, Taylor's still young, she still has a lot of years to be famous. Hollywood is really hard on female artists. Once that young, slim look fade away (female artists specifically), people will shift on someone younger. Nowadays, I always see Olivia Rodrigo and Billie Eilish. In addition to that, music taste changes through the years.
I thought swish swish was horrible.
Lots of artists flop or take a dip when they get political in their music, which honestly makes perfect sense. If a fan disagrees they won't listen to the song and will make assumptions about new ones, plus music is meant to be escapism, people just don't wanna listen to music that reminds them how stressful the world is, even Eminem took a slight dip when he went political.
Sometimes music is meant to be escapism. Other times it’s about the songwriter’s thoughts/feelings on a particular subject. Sometimes people like political music. My parents (who are Boomers) told me that political songs were VERY popular in the 1960’s and 70’s. But maybe it’s just the difference between Boomers and Zoomers.
@@rebecca8525 exactly! Sometimes i want an escape but other times i want to listen to songs that relate to how im feeling or because i agree with whats said. I mean party/escape music is fun and thats why its popular but i prefer relating to the song
Sometimes it’s not even about artists getting political, but that their approach is tone deaf and awful.
Take Madonna’s “American Life” for example. A song about how she embodies the american dream and is still not happy (fair enough) because she can’t get her latte.
It was her last top charting single.
Piper Adams..depends on the band/Artist. Your speaking of mainstream commercial music. But there’s plenty of political bands that are well like and made a career from political music.
Eminem's music and style has just been bad since even before he went woke. Recovery was his last great album 12 years ago.
Her song that ruins her career is Woman's World
"Chained to the rhythm" is so great, the lyrics and the music video as well.. so many images of what's going on in our society. Def one of my fav song from her.
Sia wrote this song😍😁

I think “chained to the rhythm” was spilling to much facts tbh, society just wants party songs
They only let the crap music that "they" want out! But people aren't interested in this "Inclusive" bs...Backpack kid crap
I think it was too political for some people. It was written in response to the 2016 U.S. presidential election. It probably alienated some of her fans who had different political views and others who, as you said, just wanted fun songs. But the fun, carefree time of the Obama administration was over, and her songs reflected the change.
@@rebecca8525 Fun, carefree time of the Obama era ~ please! Yeah, DJT had 8 years of absolute mess to clean up!
@@rebecca8525 fun carefree time of Obama? Do you not remember 6 of them 8 years were absolutely miserable with no jobs. No you probably don't because everyone lives in the moment and forgets the past.
Sure…that’s why Tupac Shakur’s albums broke sale’s records and were number one on Billboard. There’s truth and then there’s this politically motivated woke garbage. Don’t conflate them.
She's still going strong, I dont think her career is "ruined." Whatever the charts say, me and millions of people continue to support her music. I loved Bon Appetit and Swish Swish. This is How We Do is a banger.
Yeah her bounce back with Alesso still made her chart

Katy's song "Cry about it later" that came out like a year ago is an absolute amazing song and the animated music video is just wow.
Omg ikr! I was so confused watching this video saying her career flopped just because they’re not top 1 hits or something doesn’t mean they’re not amazing, tho I don’t keep up with her songs the ones I do listen to are amazing imo
And Harleys in Hawaii! It's so good. I feel like Katy was thought of as kind of a joke a few years ago and only recently has been started to be taken more seriously again
her “smile” album was so under appreciated in my opinion!
Tucked is better but CAIL guitar bridge is chef kiss

Exactly this, success isn't measured just by chart topping singles.
@@FLRSKLVR ofcourse it is minus other career options like acting or business which most singers venture into, earn a lot and doesnt focus much on singing anymore. The best example is rihanna.
@Alyssa she’s not as popular as she was way back that’s true but she’s still beloved by many people, she’s not getting number 1s anymore but she still makes quality music, there’s a lot more competition than there used to be, she isn’t in the game that much anymore, I wouldn’t say she’s flopped I’d just say she’s stepping back, she’s got more going on in her private life right now,
she did flop. it’s sad to admit but it’s true. does it mean that her music is bad now? no, her music is still good, it’s just not successful and that’s okay
She has already made her name in iconic pop star history, she has played at the Super Bowl, she doesn’t need another number one hit. Everyone knows Katy Perry and her songs will be played years and years from now. Just like every other huge pop star during that time. It was the golden era of pop music.
I love how this guy uses words like "flop" and "ruined" when absolutely none of the people he's talking about did any of those things. 😆
He's a white gay man speaking on women, it's actually misogynist and ridiculous. Stay out of women's business

@@marcdimartino9118 I wish I was wrong with that statement
Omg exactly
It's because her fans are adults now, every celebrity goes through it especially when you've been in the music industry for over nearly 15 years like she has.
To be fair, 15 years was a good run. Hell, look at Lady Gaga. Hardly anyone was talking about her either. If anything out of this, the worse thing that can happen to anybody in the music industry is becoming a one-hit wonder and fall out of fashion for after one year! 😮💨

I agree
@@Titansdragon75 I've never heard of that song until this clip it sounds pretty gay though
Firework just hit me so hard. I cried everytime I hear that song 😭
Combination of many things. Mostly her physical appearance image change, the quality of the music and writing went down tremendously, the passion in the music wasn’t there, she became extremely political which also turned a lot of people off who weren’t into the politics she was preaching.
Also what about “Never Really Over” that was a hit song….
But comparing to her other hits on Teenage Dream and Prism. It was kinda floppy and didn't have that much promotion. Witness did well but when she released Smile. That's where it started going downhill
It was her last hit.

Her recent song " when iam gone....." Is like really good
Anything with Alesso is good.
I totally agree
Yep
Rain on me act 2 yes
Yea and it’s not a flop
I would never say a song ruined someone's career. I believe that all artists, especially if they write they're ow. Stuff, hits a point when they just slowly stop appealing to their audience as they get older and newer artist come out. I have noticed that the younger your audience the more they tend to follow what's hot and trending. The song didn't kill her career. She just isn't appealing to the young audiences. But her career isn't over. She still has a large base of loyal fans.
Idk about songs not ruining careers, i am quite disturbed by "Age ain't nothin but a number" now. What did he do to that precious queen? 😟
She was blacklisted by the industry, then they replaced her with someone younger. It's all industry POLITICS y'all.

@Alyssa Katy Perry came from a poor family so there was no nepotism there. She struggled for years with her small band until she blew up. She was worked to the bones.
@Alyssa it happens all the time, the industry has favorites and pushes them for a certain time until they get old, people like nicki minaj is an example when cardi became the industry favorite and pushed super hard and nicki stopped being played on radio and stuff
I love you Katy, youve never flopped
😊😊😊
Yeah about that..💀
Chained to the rhythm is a great song! When it came out, I used to listen to it on repeat
It truly was ahead of its time.
Me too
nice reference
It's still stuck in my mind and I play it everyday
You kept it on repeat, literally
I really miss the Prism Katy era, that album was literally my childhood. A couple days ago, I heard a few notes of “Birthday” playing on the radio (as in, how the stations “tease” the songs, not the full thing) , and that song is currently my most watched RUclips video. Memories came flooding back
Ugh i love bon appétit (solo version), like it's not deep at all but idk it's a bop
Ikrrrr
Samee the beat make me feel like I’m outside a club
My favorite song omg lmao i saw it in this short i was soo confused
Same, indeed I like these 3 from witness
If "Chained To The Rhythm" ruined Katy's career, then "Women's World" is the decomposed corpse of her career... That song is 💀
I don’t think a song can ruin someone’s career I think it has to do with changing times and a new variety of music that comes out everyday.

Stream When I'm Gone by Katy Perry
the reason she flipped was the change of hair..she probably would’ve been so successful as before if she didn’t change the hair color..but she didn’t want to change just because people want her to..as she sings “ they told me that i’m crazy..But I never let them change me”
She also joked about britney when she got that haircut. Smh. She deserves what she got
I like Katy but she looked ridiculous with that haircut
@@Lola-pq6wm just an opinion
Camila It looks awful. The more far left a celebrity goes the worse they seem to look. Demi looks terrible, too.
@@Appaddict01 Demi right now is just the carcass of who she was. She is gone completely crazy.
She wasn't better before tho. A bully full of herself. Toxic.
To be fair, idk if it was just my primary school at the time but if we had a disco, we would always play those songs and Swish Swish still lands to be one of my fav’s from Katy Perry.
Yeah same here. I loved the whole album I even went to a concert in like 2018 haha
yesss same😭
You nailed it when you said Primary School. Older ppl who were her big paying audience, who bought her tickets and albums were not into her later basic music. That teen and tween money is sweet. But if you are targeting tween and younger, you are also talking to their parents. She is asking the parents or guardians of her fans for $$$. But yeah there was a lot going on besides one crap song.
I still love her no matter what, she is one of my childhood heroes ❤❤
Same
I really liked Chained to the Rhythm, the rest of the album not so much. Also her 2019 single Never Really Over was really good too, one of my favourite Katy Perry songs.
I love never really over! 😍
Chained to the rhythm's music video is ONE of my favorites. So much social commentary and hidden messages ❤️
Those were some of my favorite songs tho!!! Chained has an actual message! I loved it sooooo much. It’s the quality of listening people that’s the problem!!! Not her! Omg
Agreed. People are afraid of reality being spelt out in front of them.
Wrong. You're really going to blame the ppl for not liking her as much as they used to? It's called growing up and evolving.
@@CrustyUgg that and she got rid of her signature look and character for her woke and liberal version
@@nucleogenexaffiliate yes. You're correct.
So … because people decide to expand their tastes and may see her as an artist that they’re just not interested in anymore, it’s their fault?
what kind of weird ass stan logic is that?
That’s not how this works. Not every single artist will put out great albums. Even MJ had a few bad apples that didn’t do so hot.
What you personally may find to have an “actual message”, others will see it as moral grandstanding or babbling that they don’t want to hear coming from a multi-million dollar popstar. What you may immensely enjoy, others will groan at. What one will find as a great album, another will believe it deserves an even lower spot on the chart.
That’s just how it is - that’s how _reality_ works.
Don’t blame the audience for not liking someone’s music merely because you enjoy it. We’re humans, not robots.
“Swish Swish” is the song that put her fans off her for a while. That whole album just felt soulless.

Here image also went from “teenage dream” to “can someone come get their drunk aunt off the dance floor? She’s scaring the kids.”
Perhaps unpopular opinion: I'm convinced bleaching her signature locks and chopping it all off had a negative effect on her career.
It's maybe politically incorrect but not unpopular. That's exactly what I thought
Agreed... she said she didn't want to look like "her"- meaning "Katy Perry"- anymore
Chained to the Rhythm is not only my favorite Katy Perry song, it’s one of my favorite songs just in general. One of the only songs I can put on repeat and never get sick of. Skip Marley kicks ass on it too 🎉
Glad I’m not the only one that feels this way. ❤
Ok but can we talk about how the real reason her music doesn't hit different anymore is bc she stopped working with Dr Luke. We all know her previous albums were produced by him, and witness was her first to not be produced by him. I'm not saying she should work with him again bc I know he's an awful person, but I'm just pointing out the obvious.
yeah but she's still working with max martin and his team who co wrote and co produced all of her hits. the problem is that people always want someone new. and when women reach certain age and become mothers they tend to lose popularity.
@@127ante I think one of the problems too is that she never grew with her audience. We all grew up and moved on
Witness is far better than both teenage dream and prism if you're hinting at lack of quality without Dr. Luke.
@@qkbarbland4332 the numbers don't lie. We all know she went downhill from there

It didnt ruin her career, artists normally die out. Its part of life. You get your own shining moment then soon you retire and get old
Ruined her career ...wtf she's still a legend 🐐
She’s also started a family and is focusing on herself so
This makes me sad since chained to the rhythm is actually my favorite Katy song she still puts out great ones too like Electric and When I’m Gone
CTTR is my favourite too. It shows her artistic depth. No accounting for taste, so to each his own.
The thing is her all witness era was not liked by everyone, they didn't like how drastically she changed, I myself stopped listening to her because of how terrified I was of her

Her label stopped marketing her. Prism is amazing. Harley's in Hawaii should have been the song the song of it's summer.
Chained to the rhythm was my fave of all her songs next to E.T. I especially loved that Skip Marley was on it and I wish he had more to the song. I think what crushed her was her look and the American idol stint. Something about her vibe changed absolutely but I can’t be sure because I didn’t follow her too closely. At the time there were also new singers coming up to compete with so
Hamster wheel. Strong message.
The audacity to claim one song “ruined” her career.
well her career is definitely ruined so you tell me what caused it
I thought it was all of her songs that ruined her career 🤣
I think every artist has a “shelf life”. Their commercial appeal will eventually fade. I think that’s a more realistic reason why Katy Perry hasn’t had a major hit since “Chained to the Rhythm”.
Never Really Over was a top 10 hit here in Australia, but was still forgotten about pretty quickly
It’s funny, because in my opinion WITNESS is her best album EVER. So creative, so pleasantly surprising. You must be right about Americans disliking songs that mention political issues. Look what happened when Madonna released AMERICAN LIFE.
Nah it wasn’t the politicalness of it
It was cuz she was acting WEIRD
@@Supported32320
Weird in what sense ? Like on drugs ?
People didnt even know chained to the rhythm was political. It isnt as obvious as madge’s american life.
Americans don’t necessarily mind politics in music, but they don’t like being preached to by self-righteous morons who live in an ivory tower and jabber on about things well above their IQ level. Working class people have zero time for know-it-all types with a silver spoon lodged in their rectum.

The early 2010s like 2010,11,12,13 and 14 is literally her supreme prime years tho, every song of her is a global hit like roar, the one that got away, last friday night, dark horse and california gurls
People should realize that it's the media that's directly responsible for public awareness of *any* topic or subject, if you're a fan of an artist, the best thing you can do to support them is spread that awareness yourself to hopefully plant the seeds that will spread
Chained to the rhythm is the song that got me into music, and no it did not ruin anything that album is so nostalgic for so many people in my age its kinda crazy
She’s been through the ringer emotionally. She’s a beautiful soul. I have a feeling she’ll be back with vengeance!
