How Katy Perry Lost Me as a Fan: An Essay from a Former KatyCat

Sooooo once upon a time, I was obsessed with Katy Perry. From collecting every photo and memorizing her Teenage Dream era, to seeing her live in front row seats and even at her Vegas residency, I was a full-on KatyCat. Her quirky personality, camp visuals, and record-breaking pop hits like “Firework” and “California Gurls” made her feel like the underdog who made it. But things have changed....😭

In this episode, I unpack how Katy Perry lost me—and a lot of other fans. 💔 From baffling lyrics and questionable visuals on her new album 143, to working with Dr. Luke and the odd AI-infused “Lifetimes” tour (which might be struggling to sell tickets…), we explore the missteps and image shifts that feel disconnected from the icon she once was.

Let’s talk about it in this weeks episode of Nocturnal Notes with Sydney. 🎧
