Katy Perry

Smallest achievement ever, so 1-2k people bought multiple physical versions. It'll be the quickest falling album next week.

 
New review on pitchfolk - 4.5 so that ups the meta score just

"Katy Perry is weird like Olive Garden is exotic: not really at all, and everything is suffocated in cheese."

"Like Witness, 143 is a spectacular flop, but it’s a strange one—like one of those restaurants that looks nice and has an expensive menu but serves food so mid as to be insulting. It’s worse than awful. At least awful is something you can direct your rage at, deriving catharsis in the process. "

Katy Perry: 143

Australian tour announced, might sell well if she promises to only do one or two new tracks.

 
This era flopping hard puts quite a different spin on this part of the Woman's World video, very different from what was intended.

More like "Who the duck are you and why have you stolen my tit?"...

The fact she has only arranged a few dates makes me think that even she isn't sure whether it will sell as usually it's a world tour with numerous dates, not just a couple of dates in one place after an album release.

As for the album, it might get Billboard Top Ten but at the moment, according to Midweek, it's only sold 40,000. 30,000 of which are albums. It looks like it will get #4 in the UK but has sold less than 8,000 so not great as even her last album Smile which was seen as a huge flop sold more.

God really? I saw a few different accounts tweeting about it so assumed it was legit.

IIRC, it started doing the rounds when she was first called out. I'm not sure where it came from or who made it up but a lot of her fan accounts spread it. She's been asked a few times about why she worked with him and on every occasion, she either ignores the question or changes the subject.
 
Oh dear, Katy is headlining one of Australia's biggest sporting events this Saturday the (the AFL Grand Final.) It's notoriously bad re acoustics and performance.
I have a feeling she's going to be roasted for it although she probably won't care, she's playing 5 songs and being paid $5 million for it.
Allegedly.

Her last tour for Witness didn't sell well at all. I went to one of the UK dates and I was on the standing floor - there was a lot of room 💀

Such a contrast to her rival Taylor Swift (bad blood anyone) as her tour was super popular and she packed stadiums worldwide.

While I'm not a fan, Taylor has moved with the times and has tried different genres over the years and realised what worked and what didn't. Katy is still doing the same kitschy stuff she always has. It was obvious when Witness flopped that people were getting sick of it yet rather than go a different route, she doubled down and continued which also caused Smile to flop. The less said about the new album the better.
